No, we agree that food is too good to care that it's not good for us We are the fat soccer critics that talk about the game but rarely step on the pitch haha. though I do play pick up matches at NAU from time to time

, I'm at fat sports critic in general :P. I do need to go out and get some practice with a soccerball at my feet though

I'm sure almost everyone eats food thats bad for their body. The trick is, how often and to what degree. I am cutting down on my intake of crappy foods, but I still eat some.

I'm sure I am over 10lbs overweight too. I'm 6' 2" 197 ish pounds (and generally and gradually decreasing). Due to my smarter eating habits and increased activity, I am loosing weight.

Difference is, I know that they are bad, and WHY they are bad. The evidence shows that by indulging in TOO much has adverse effects. But as we all know, the trick, is moderation. There is a difference between KNOWING and acting to the contrary, (all the above in excess) as opposed to denying something where the vast balance of evidence says to the contrary (AIGW).

Just to put a perspective on science.... a lot of you fellow ttper's remind me of those "science believing folk" back in the 1400's where they swore on their mother's grave the earth was flat and that you would fall off if you sailed too far out to sea. According to their "scientists", you were overly ignorant if you thought otherwise.....and look how that turned out.

lol what are you all about the dirty bulk/cut?

atm are you looking to bulk or are you cutting?............. or maintaining?

Eating all that bullshit will add up the cals real quick and it basically defeats the whole purpose of living a healthy lifestyle.

Dont get me wrong and go off on some tangent stating that I hate junk food. Like I said 80/20 for me.

FINALLY ALL THAT LOGIC YOU CLAIM TO HAVE IS ACTUALLY SHOWING!

Yes moderation is the key.

yea, but there's just a few, minor snags to your point:

1. The scientific method (that is the practice of science as we understand it today) wasn't widely practiced until after the 1400's. The renaissance period popularized it with western culture.

2. The scientific community as you put it, was primarily comprised of monks, and secondarily heavily influenced by religion. The science of Galileo, or ibn al-Hasan (the father of the sci. method) was considered herecy by the dominaty faith of the time, Christianity. God was science back then.

How's that for perspective on your "science believing folk"?

The point, since you all asked, is that while you claim you look at facts and logic to make your decision I call bullshit. You may know some facts, and you might even believe them, but if you based your decision on facts, as you claim not me, you would be saying none of the above.

I do look at facts and logic to make decisions, and sometimes I make bad decisions, sometimes I ignore the logic and facts I see. That's what being human is.
