So tired of cooks....
« on: January 09, 2012, 03:22:37 PM »
Doug, you seriously need your own show on Food Network!! I am sooo sick and tired of seeing all these chefs, "claiming" to be cooking healthy as they ruin berries by putting sugar and syrup on them, and useing wheat pasta! They think, just because it says "wheat" on it, it's healthy!!

Hi Stephanie! :)

This is the culture we live in... These "chefs" just don't really understand what makes us an obese culture.
It's that lack of understanding that perpetuates obesity... Ignorance can create a vicious cycle!

Have you ever noticed how many of these chefs' bodies could stand to walk away from carbs?
Emeril comes to mind.

BTW... Berries taste so much better not being smothered in sugar!
What you do today is what matters!

I love F2S very much but Stephanie, we have to be understanding of the different cultures and lifestyles and also that fortunately & unfortunately its their livelihood. .. My humble opinion is that we start by directing it to the dept that handles the "Food Pyramid". I feel that when that gets properly revised, then you will start to see changes in the Food Network and everywhere else... one voice + one voice + one voice would eventually add up and be heard... meanwhile, we as individuals have to make the right choices and help our kids too...

Perfect example is how all of sudden you stated to see that Trans Fat isn't used any more.. Or lets look at how many products are gluten free...

You so right Alex! :)

If we could just get the gov't to really hear us.

Problem is, our representatives' and senators' offices are like wait stations for lobbyists.
The "support" dollars they wave under the politicians noses are much louder than our voices.
That's why our gov't is as disfunctional as it is and seemingly deaf to our voices.

Those mega-farms that grow wheat and corn have lobbyists with deep pockets.
This is how we got stuck with ethanol in our gasoline... Bad for engines and does almost nothing for the planet.
But it sure does help keep the bucks flowing into those mega-farm corporations.

Cultural differences and livings aside... Reading Doug's book, we know that wheat and sugar make many people fat.
We also know that many people who eat too much of these things for too long, develop insulin resistance which is the first step in obesity.
The science behind FTS is solid and it's universal.

We should keep on sharing the good news about FTS as much as we can.
The world can be changed... One person at a time!
What you do today is what matters!
