Are there any foods that you eat too much of that you think might be really bad for you, but you can’t quit ’em? Like Funyons? Moon Pies? Corn dogs?
Is there anything you might cut down on this year for health reasons?
I have to cut out chocolate covered nuts.
OH DUDE. Those black helicopters are silent. RUN.
Cajun flavored Japanese peanuts.
Don’t try them.
I’m done with bitter fruits that are way past their expiration date.
Good for you. Black bananas are something to be avoided.

I saw my good friend die of pancreatic cancer – he went fast only lasted 2 months. I don’t plan to cut out anything, I just booked a cruise to Alaska. Going to Hawaii in 3 weeks. I only resolve to keep moving, we all can do that and if you don’t you’re going to die. Live life now.
I smoke or BBQ 5 nights a week. I heard that is not good for you. Oh well, fire up the coals, we need to eat.
The whiskey I hide in the garage next to the cigars I also hide in the garage.
BFH – if health is your concern, you can eat the chocolate covered nuts pretty near guilt free (if eaten in moderation). Nuts vary in nutritional content but they are all pretty healthy because they generally contain “good” fats (heart healthy), several minerals, fiber and lots of protein. Here’s a link to a pretty quick slide show that covers many different types and their benefits:

Even chocolate has been recently recognized as being somewhat healthy and nowhere near as bad for you as it has been portrayed in the past. Here’s a brief excerpt from the article linked below:
“However, “the recent discovery of biologically active phenolic compounds in cocoa has changed this perception and stimulated research on its effects in aging, oxidative stress, blood pressure regulation, and atherosclerosis. Today, chocolate is lauded for its tremendous antioxidant potential.”

A lot of what has been considered “common wisdom” over the last few decades in nutrition has proven to be a bunch of nonsense. Even real butter and whole milk has been proven to be heart healthy in recent years.
If they decide beer is healthy I might live forever.
I eat when I’m hungry
I drink when I’m dry
Amen
Eat anything or anyone in moderation
I think I’m doing pretty good, food-wise. I could maybe do with more kosher beef. Not a lot of Hebrews in my state.
If the hard times don’t kill me I’ll live til I die.
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
Rye whisky, I cry,
If you don’t give me rye whisky,
I surely will die.
Low carber here but once a week I sidle into Panera with my head down and eat an iced cookie with a tea followed by iced coffee. Sometimes I take it to my car to have a sugar orgasm in private.
My true addiction is tea, tea and more tea. mainly the Assams from various tea estates in India – Golden Tips, Harmutty. Doomni. Simpson and Vail has this Violet Black Tea better than candied violets and a Violet Rose Tea. Got a box of tea from them last week and there was a catalog in the box. Toted that catalog into the living room to watch football and sniff the wonderful tea scents on the catalog. My husband doesn’t know whether to laugh or lock me up but he did buy me a spiffy new teapot for Christmas.
Type 1 Diabetic here. If I cut any more out I’ll starve to death.
However… I try to avoid that chocolate honeycomb candy from Sprouts. 😀
I think I need to go to Sprouts tomorrow. You know, for vegetables and stuff…
Well I drink tea also. But only Lipton tea in the bag. Never cold.
3 to 4 cups a day
I used to buy the ‘real’ tea. But. I saw no point to it.
I’m poor and too old to try to impress anyone.
For decades, doctors have told me one to two beers a day are good for your kidneys.
Now, if only we can get days redefined as 2 hours long…
I apparently gave up sex, but I was the last to know…
I gave up corn dogs, Odinga just gave up actual DOGS…
No more chocolate monkeys,
no more salty crunts.
I would love to give up Diet Coke, but over 30+ years it has become my elixir of life. I drink it at breakfast, then nurse a 20-oz. bottle during my morning commute.
You wouldn’t want to see me in the a.m. without my dose of caffeine. I am one bitchy, incompetent, stupid person!
The local international grocery has a machine… You can get a bag and dispense really fresh Mike & Ike’s in any flavor combo you wish… (Twitch, twitch.)
They just built a new Jack in the box about 2 blocks away from my house which opened up last week. I can see it learing at me from down the street making its siren call of cheap fast food, come on in. I have a weakness for Jumbo Jacks and the 2 for.99 tacos, so far I haven’t been there yet because I’ve been so busy over the past couple of weeks. Everything in moderation and besides my daughters would kill me if I go there too often. Now if they had built Eastern Washington’s first Chic-fil-a there that might be a different story.
Obama’s resolution was to give up chocolate covered nuts too.
Well; for a while he was doing pretty good…… until reggie came by the white house.
The rash on obama’s chip ain’t from shaving.
“chin” not chip !!! Geez, I should have had coffee.
Black bananas make the BEST milkshakes.
Mike’s and Ike’s what?
… and whatever Obutthole’s sucking on up above, he cracked the skin on it, poor guy.
Ever since I let it slip that me and the guys call Sprouts “Yoga Pants”, she tells me to buy the apples at Costco.
But I like my daily quart of scotch.
😉
Exercise, eat right, die anyway.
Don’t you fell sorry for all those health nuts lying in the hospital dying of nothing!
On a senior citizen trip to Atlantic City last year a little old lady gave the bus driver a packet of peanuts. He liked peanuts and thanked her.
As they pulled into the Casino berth, she gave the driver another packet. He thanked her again and said don’t you eat them yourself?
No, she said, my husband and I just like to suck the chocolate off them.
Beware of little old ladies bearing gifts.
Hey BFH. That should turn you against chocolate covered nuts,hee, hee.
If you ever run out of room, I have some extra space in my garage.
Just sayin’…
?
Just tried the onion buttery jack with cheddar cheese this week for the first time.
Whoa! What a sandwich! I think I may have to give that up, but if it kills me I’ll die happy and sated.
Try Luzianne tea bags. The price of Lipton was jacked up so high around here I switched to Luzianne. Well, first I switched to Red Rose and then they raised the price on that a lot. Luzianne tastes a better and makes some fine tea- brined and tea marinated chicken.
