What unhealthy foods do you regularly eat?

[Praying Colonel]

I have many triggers, but my current Kryptonite is Tex-Mex and Margaritas. You can make an argument that certain types of Tex-Mex aren't that unhealthy, but I've got no argument for the chips and Margaritas.

Also if you break a donut in half all the calories leak out so your are good to go

I cut them into quarters, as long as you take a short break from eating it’s calorie free.

Chips (Doritos being number one)

doritos are soooo good. I put them in the "pure evil" category, as I can't stop at a few.

Pizza. We only have it once a month, maybe twice, but I shouldn't have it at all. Also ice cream. There is ALWAYS ice cream in this house, it seems. I can resist it about half the time.

I knew that if a cookie broke, all the calories fell out, but I didn't know that standing to eat also negated calories! Cool- I must be a twig by now!

 

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Biscuits. I was gonna say pizza, but when you get right down to it, it's simply mozzarella, tomato and dough.

 

[DrJanosz]

Most American food is absolute awful (no offense to your nice peoples). When my family send me package from Florida but they send these popped tarts that I find very good. Browned sugar and the cinnamon are the good flavour.

Here in Europe, we have paprika flavour Doritas. They are amazing snack.

I don’t make a habit of eating my perception of unhealthy food but well uhm I did give a White Castle’s I passed today a lingering look.
Oops.

I would love to know why comments like this are perfectly acceptable and actually occur quite frequently, but if Americans make any negative observations or statements about other countries/cultures we are immediately ugly and rude.

It was not my intention to offend. I've only been to America once to visit my family and go to the World of Disney. This was my only time trying American food and I really didn't like itl. Sorry.

I'm a pretty well-rounded garbage consumer. I have a little bit of something pretty much every day. Today it was 317 calories (yes, I count them) worth of candy, hard-bite BBQ chips and a rice krispie square. Yesterday it was over 600 calories in mini-donuts from a food truck that came to an event at my office. Waaaay too much so I skipped supper.

 

[DVCjj]

Diet Coke. Don’t drink a lot but anything is too much. Artificial sweetening is crapola.

 

[ChrisFL]

I've cut out MOST unhealthy foods in the past several months at least as far as things like desserts, french fries, etc..

I still have a Coke Zero or Diet coke about once or twice per week, but that's about....maybe a milkshake once a month as a treat.

My husband calls them "devil chips" because he can't stop eating them when the bag is open.

so one short visit to one small part of the country tells you most of our food is absolutely awful. Good to know. Where is it we can find your superior food?

It’s like saying I went to Europe and the food sucked.

Oh dear, I shouldn’t answer this but but really I just can’t not

The problem isn’t that American food is inherently “ yucky”. It’s that it’s hard to tell with the frequently over processed food stuff used in some locales. And yes, WDW, particularly MK is notorious for its over use of sugar and salt to mask the quality (or lack there of) of its wares.

From a culinary perspective we have much to boast and much to hang our collective head in shame about.

Stepping off my soapbox.

fair enough. But the claim wasn't about the food at WDW. It was "Most American food is absolutely awful"

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Soda - im addicted to Coke cola must have some daily even if it’s a mini can

chocolate - usually every couple weeks I want some - hard to fight try to limit myself as I could get out of hand quickly

Upon occasion ice cream but not too often

Chips every once in a while but I must have dip with them or if they are nacho chips I go whole hog and make cheese nachos
So I limit that too

I’ve been successful in cutting out fast food / most fried foods / but can’t seem to give up pasta try to limit that to once a month

Pizza sadly my system does not like me eating that so I had to give it up wish it didn’t like me eating candy
