Is this all junk food propaganda a lie basically? That junk-food are the "vilains" and all these crazy stuff?

[Anonymous]

People say that if you eat junk-food you'll end up fat and you'll damage your health, etc. Even 1-2 times every week people consinder it "a lot"

Guess what?

I eat "junk-food related" food lke beef burgers, fish burgers and french fries, about half-times per week, like 7-8 meals among 14. And yet... i'm skinny (BMI of mine is 18-18.5 most of the times) and in addition not only i'm skinny but i get sick very rarely... like once every 2-3 years basically.

Also i have came across a bunch of other people in my lifetime, who consume junk-food often yet they are thin as well and healthy.

So is that all propaganda against junk-food a lie basically?

It's a lie

No it's true.

so maybe you don't see the change physically, doesn't mean it is healthy
all that oil will increase your cholesterol levels (LDL, or BAD cholesterol to be precise), and it will coagulate in your arteries, thus constricting them and making them lose their flexibility... inadequate and inefficient supply of blood (ergo, nutrients) to your body's cells... not to mention, the risk of getting a cardiac arrest. you will have to get a premature bypass surgery! why abuse your body?
eating joints use the same oil multiple times, do you have any idea what those transfats can do to us? putting on weight is the least harmful thing!
follow a healthy lifestyle...

I can't really say about everyone , but I can eat a bazillions calories and it doesn't show on me ; while some can say sweets twice and tack on 5 lbs. Everyone says my motabolizm show have slowed down and I should look like a beached whale , but that just isn't the case. I have added a few lbs on the last few years but nothing to lead me to into some frantic exercise binge. It depends on the person I guess

Lots of interesting thoughts on this subject , but in my opinion worry will kill far more people than the food they eat. Worry over what you do or don't eat is more likely going to lead to cardiac arrest due to the stresses of media propaganda over the risks associated with certain foods. Good gosh most of us had grand parents and great grand parents that eat beef and pork without a second thought that it was detrimental to their health , many of theses same people lived far more health lives and longer than today's average. LDL my ars.

were you just looking for yes-men?
pork and beef is healthy, but frying it in oil used over twenty times is not. our ancestors did not deep-fry the nearest thing they could find, so they were healthy, not to mention the active lifestyle they used to lead and the uncontaminated air they used to inhale.
and eating fried stuff twice a day is not a deal-breaker; but eating it every single day is.

being skinny doesn't mean your arteries won't clog up though, careful man. and watch your cholesterol levels.

and also a lot of processed foods contains ingredients like sodium nitrite that is linked directly with cancer, since when has broccoli been linked to cancer, its only linked with prevention to cancer.

People have different metabolisms. Some people eat anything and everything and stay thin, some peope eat healthy and are still over weight.
All the junk will catch up to you eventually, there are all kinds of chemicals and shit that are unquestionably bad for you. And I would argue a BMI of 18 is way to skinny for a guy, certainly bordering on unhealthy.

[Frost_Byt3]

No its not lies. You just simply have faster metabolism so the weight that yiu would've gained from eating the junk is burned off almost immediately. Some people aren't so lucky, so they have to watch what they eat.

Burgers aren't that bad.

Sugar in huge quantities is much worse.

Being thin doesn't stop other health issues like heart deterioration and diabetes.
