More Than Half of What You Eat Isn’t Even Real Food, Study Finds

This also in...your pet possibly eats better than you do

This is true. Our dog gets home cooked fresh meals every single day (little stinker loves his momma pulling out the saucepan at dinner time), because of medical conditions. It's funny how we humans seem to give our pets better quality of food than we eat lol. But you know when you look at some of the choices for pets these days, it's just as terrible as the stuff for humans.

Scandinavia and east Asia healthy areas. In antics we want the right to kill ourselves so we'll continue to see more fake foods being made.

It's like anything else though, the consumer dictates what companies will do. People in general want cheap food more than they want good food. Companies want to make money. If we want cheap food and companies want to make the same amount of money, there's only one option.

I don't discount diminishing real income as a big factor in all this. Food was mostly "real" when I was a kid. As a percent of what my parents made, the food budget was nothing then like it is today.

I think a high protein breakfast is the best way to start your day. It gives you plenty of energy and you don't feel nearly as hungry as the day goes on than if you had a lot of carbs for breakfast.

My diet is basically 2 meals. Meal one is about 1pm and consists of fruit, nuts, and maybe one unhealthy item (like salt and vinegar crisps).

Meal two is pretty average and sometimes unhealthy - burritos, pizza, yaki soba, ramen, pasta etc.

Not the healthiest diet, but you caloric intake seems to be on track. I try to eat as healthy as possible during the week, but it gets much harder on the weekends and I tend to eat more food and more junk on Sat & Sun. It seems to even out overall though calorie wise, but my body definitely feels the shock when I go back to a healthy diet on Mondays.

Even as a kid, I could never really stomach food in the morning. Weird, I know.

i'm that way. so is my brother. as i get older it seems like it takes longer and longer into the day to work up an appetite.

what ends up happening is i go a few days without really eating anything and i'm only actually hungry for a few minutes and then i go straight into being too hungry and feeling sick so still nothing is appetizing.

thankfully breakfast is an anytime of the day meal. especially when bacon is involved. BREAKFAST FOR DINNER!

Sometimes I eat breakfast for breakfast and breakfast for dinner. I can't eat dinner for breakfast though.

I don't have time for breakfast. I eat one meal a day usually just dinner. But instead I drink this for "breakfast" - https://kyleahealth.com/products/total-living-drink-greens
