Nothing

Why would I care? I'm not fat and I don't eat it that often anymore anyway.

You don't have to be fat on the the outside for negative health effects to take place.

I ate a hamburger for lunch, but it was worth the year of my life I lost.

Dinnerwise I usually have whitefish once per week, salmon once per week, shellfish once per week(shrimp, lobster, etc), steak or a hamburger etc once per week(rarely twice), chicken twice per week(sometimes once),something like pancakes/pasta/whatever on the 7th day.

Lunch/breakfast I usually have one evil breakfast on saturdays, salads twice per week with usually cheese and something else in it -- sometimes shrimp sometimes salami, sometimes chicken breast -- lunchmeat -- no dressing, cereal maybe twice, chinese once, soup twice, something like a frozen chicken parm or lasagne twice, and maybe 1 hot pocket random. (Yes that tallies to 11, I have about 1.5 meals besides dinner per day)

Occasionally something like a pizza(say once per 6-8 weeks -- but has leftovers), chinese for real(IE a dinner with leftovers instead of a lunch) maybe every third week. I very rarely have pork -- more likely the ham in split pea soup.

Dinners have brocoli/mac/cheese once per week, a real vegetable like brocolli, string beans, carrots, cream cabbage(has a small amount of bacon in it) 4 times per week, potatoes twice per week -- usually baked once then homefries 1 or 2 days later.

I have orange juice maybe twice per week (once if no cold, daily if I am sick -- averages to 2), I have a small amount of dark chocolate chips once per week -- maybe an actual desert at most once per month, a bag of olestra type potato chips per week (7 servings at 75 cals per serving), some other form of munchy once per week, a few peanuts twice per month, 2 servings of yoohoo per week, some diet soda -- other than that water for drinking.

I take a multivitamin about 3 times per week, and a 33% calcium/magnesium pill daily as I do not get enough calcium in my diet and I do not do that well with milk.

Makes me wonder sometimes why I have a weight problem -- because I actually do watch what I eat.

Watching what you eat as you shovel it down your gullet continuously isn't gonna help

i eat red meat maybe 5-10 times a month...the only thing outside of death that would make me stop eating it is...price/availability...or immediate health concerns related to the meat or myself


i eat mostly white meat....but shaving a few years of your life off the crappiest part of your life isn't so bad as long as you enjoy what got you there


everything kills you...may as well enjoy some of it

Oh man, your health argument has me laughing

I have 8 vegetarian and 2 vegan friends, most of them are under 30, and they are hands down the most weak/sick people I know. They are constantly plagued with illness and are all exhausted after minimal physical labor. I workout with 2 of the vegetarians, and they can barely get through a game of basketball... as far as physical appearance, they have no muscles, just skin and bones.

Maybe they will outlive me, but that's not a life I would ever want to live

starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.
