Ah, OK, so that's what they must feed to livestock.

My bad.

Okay everyone I feel the need to step in here.

Eat, drink and smoke what you want in moderation. Try to get as much variety in your foods as possible and buy fresh when possible.

If you don't slip on the ole' banana peel you will probably live to at least 72 with with a grandchild and a spouse that is sick of your shit.

Um, yeah, HFCS is making people fat. Didn't you read the article? You say bread is bad (combined with no exercise), but what about whole wheat breads? And a lot of what is making people fat is the little to no exercise, combined with completely shitty eating habits (i.e. no breakfast, big lunch, big dinner and simply crap food like junk food and fast food).

Wow, 72 huh, amazing!

No thanks dude, I'm tryin' to make it to 100. 72 is still pretty young to die off.

My dad is in his late 70's, and has a GF in her 20s, and a 5 year old kid.

For real.

I'm not disagreeing that sugary foods, sugary sauces and stuff made from HFCS isn't good for fat loss. However, you are forgetting the caloric density of bread and pastas, which make up a large amount of America's diet, is much much higher than something that has HFCS in it.

I hear people all the time (fat people) cut out "sugary foods" and they loose 5 or 10 lbs and wonder wtf. I tell them to cut out breads and pasta or limit them and usually they will loose much less.

This is why the French, Italians, and other bread and pasta favoring cultures are so disgustingly fat.

Oh wait...

And if those cows that are getting fat because of corn had a decent activity level and weren't being stuffed to the gills with it, I imagine the outcome would be different. Not unlike the average American, actually.

Are you advising them to cut out all carbs? If so, for what length of time? Cutting all carbs for a short while is fine if you want to lose weight fast, but losing weight fast isn't exactly ideal for the body. I think a healthy mix of carbs, fats, and protein is the key, in small meals throughout the day in order to keep the metabolism higher. Combine this with exercise and you have a healthy lifestyle. I'm not a fan of any diet that eliminates something completely.

this is probably one of the better ways to do things. its pretty much my method, and I seem to maintain the same weight all the time.
