The Standard American Diet (SAD) is very similar to what farmers use to fatten pigs for slaughter.

I thought the cottonseed/vegetable oil was killing the livestock too fast so they only feed it to people anymore

I hadn't heard that before. Now I'm more depressed.

It's always been margarine posts that I've seen. Used to fatten up the livestock until they realized it was killing too many of them. Then someone figured you could add butter flavor and poof I can't believe it's not butter.

Now remember kids, Lucky Charms is healthier than a ribeye steak.

You wanna be depressed, look at the ingredients of store bought maple syrup like Log Cabin. There is not a bit of maple syrup in it. It's corn syrup and additives.

NO! I don't want to be depressed.

So much crap being sold as food these days.

Why did the Lone Ranger wear a mask. Seems like it caused endless problems for him rather than the possibility of anyone recognizing him.

My wife was opining on this today after I was ranting the other day about maple syrup. (I'm currently using raw, unfiltered honey on my waffles / pancakes. Not the same, but healthier than that crap I had been using...(as far as sugar goes).

I think Costco sells maple syrup jugs for like $11 that cost $20-30 other places.

Yeah, one of these days I'll pick up some REAL maple syrup. I think it's been years since I've had it. I'll probably go into some kind of insulin shock.

Just take a road trip up to Vermont and buy from a small maker.

Table syrup. You're making my eye twitch by calling it maple.

Been a minute since I was last there. My climbing / x-c skiing / backpacking partner had a cabin up there. We'd stop on the way to or from outings in the mountains of Maine, NH, and the Adirondacks.

All this syrup talk is funny to me only because I was raised with a bottle of Karo on the table in the mornings. It was gross then and having bought a small bottle a short while back to relive the memory it's still gross now. To me at least.

Eh, I forgot. I think you said you are much further down the Eastern seaboard. I had you mixed up with someone from Mass.

Many years ago, even before I radically changed my diet, I stop pouring syrup on waffles or pancakes. Even with my wicked sweet tooth, I found most syrup to be too much. No shade on other who love it, you are going to like what you like.

In the gulag we had our waffles and pancakes topped with beets. And not those crap beets. Real Soviet beets...raised by serfs.

Back in the day, I lived in NYC...so those places were several hours closer than they are from here in western NC.

But here, I'm already in the mountains.
