Bad eating habits witnessed

Postby BarryTas » Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:27 pm

I have witnessed a lot of bad eating habits/choices made by people, generally (from my own observations) made by people who would be considered “overweight”
Here are a few that come to mind.

• after cooking the onions (about 2 onions) on the BBQ this person then placed the onions in a baking tray back on the BBQ along with and good fist size portion of butter into the tray

• an old flat mate would only ever drink soft drink “’cause it was fun”

• diet coke Say What

• an old work colleague had his KFC 3 piece feed for lunch everyday “’cause it was cheep” along with his large can of Mother

• putting salt on EVERYTHING


etc etc
when do we stop for coffee???

The other day, I watched a guy place a meat pie inside a bread roll and eat the lot for morning tea - washed down with a can of Mother.

A few favourites of mine from less aware/caring days gone by;

-11 sausages wrapped in white bread, 2 per slice, in one sitting, with tom. sauce
-corn flakes, full cream milk, honey and cream (regularly)
-"dinner" on the run, family block of chocolate and a litre carton of full cream milk
-"desert", 2 Eskimo Pies, 2 large packets of Smarties, combine/mash together
- 1 Kilo block of Chocolate in a sitting (once)
And it's only taken two years to get my cholesterol level down to a good level. God knows what the inside of my arteries look like.
The pie in a roll reminds me of regular school lunches; sausage roll in a white bread roll, with sauce and a chocolate BigM to wash it down.

Alternative school lunch order was a meat pie, cream bun and a frozen Sunny Boy (orange cordial in a Tetra Pack)
Beautiful.

Believe it or not I've never weighed more than 65 Kg's in my life. Think my liver might have got a bit fatty though.
Forgot to mention that school lunches were always followed by a couple of cigarettes in the paddock behind the footy field.
One more; chip sandwiches with sauce, either hot fried or packet crisps, always on white bread and plenty of salt.

Christmas time means one thing in my family: Crispelle. That's the closest recipe I could find. We don't have anchovies in ours.

Essentially, they're potatoes, flour and yeast mixed into a dough and then deep fried in olive oil. And I can never stop at 1 (or 2)... :lol:

Haha thats fantastic, i want to give that a go :) .

In my very silly younger years, it wasn't strange for me to get a 1 ltr tub of Sara Lee ice cream and polish it off, my weight never budged because i was constantly on the go.

They are good. :mrgreen: My in-laws put anchovies in theirs, but I prefer them without. Try both though. If you were in Melbs, I'd be comin' over to help you eat them!

there is a t.v series called man vs food. my wife was watching it a few weeks ago and said have a look at this. i watched it for less than 5 mins and left the room feeling nausious. The host travels across the United States to explore the culture and unique "big food". one city in each episode and takes on food challenge he was atempting to eat a hamburger with mutiple beef patties, cheese bacon, lettuce tomato various sauces etc wedged between a krispy cream donut.also some Philly Cheesesteak Nachos, which is a bed of "tri-colored" tortilla chips topped with a mixture of philly steak, grilled peppers and onions, and a creamy Monterey Jack cheese sauce. i wouldn't feed that to a dead horse. Why are we FAT?

I'm sure this show is on 7MATE and I urge everyone to watch it. It will put you off eating junk food/takeaway for life. I've only watched a few shows but the 'eating challenges' are quite horrendous made worse with the entire restaurant urging the host to continue eating. Not once was there anything vaguely resembling a salad being eaten by anyone on that show.

That show is disgusting, no wonder the Yanks are huge, but we Aussie's aren't much better!

Have you ever watched the line up outside of Sizzlers and noted the average size of the people?? 'Larger than average' is a kind way of describing it :roll:

My wife's best friend lives on diet coke... When she visits she goes though about 2-3 liters a day... No other liquids. Totally addicted to it!.

Apart from that... Well the French have some very strange eating habits... Jeez we even have rancid sausage in house... Hanging up cover in mould... My daughter loves it!....same goes for cheese and other meats.

Used to fry crumpets in butter so they got nice and crunchy on both side (so much in fact, rthat there'rd be a smear of butter on the plate afterwards . :roll:

Yummo. Now just the thought of it clogs my arteries, but longing for a taste again ...
