list junk food dressed up for yuppies who are too smart for junk food

According to Starbucks, a 16 oz Caramel Frappuccino with *whip*=

430 calories
16 g fat
10 g sat. fat
52 g sugar

Maybe not *quite* as bad as a milkshake, but pretty bad.

BTW a 16 oz BURGER KING shake is actually healthier, with about the same level of calories & fat but no saturated fat. (god knows what's in it)

bell labs, i am not but i am trying to cut down on animal fats (except bacon)

haha, me too. i've cut down on meat in a big way, mostly because it's expensive and a pain in the ass to prepare. basically i just buy bacon and eat it on the weekend, in burritos.

if i could afford the fish out here, though, i'd eat that shit 94/7

also: that michael pollan article is great.

space age polymers, bro xpost

yeah i do not understand frappacinos at all and how they are considered a beverage - i see women holding on to this hueg cup and i'm like that's food, that's practically a meal!
i also have a thing about big take-out cups. they are weird.

yoga told me to be a vegetarian and then it told me to eat some chicken the other day so i did and now i seem fine again with being sometime-veg whatever. i don't really believe in most packaged food in the first place <-- obv (also, not a yuppie)

see also: lattes. soooo much milk - surely that's enough protein and other stuff to tide you over for many hours, not to accompany a meal, right?!

Also lattes are pricy if you buy them a couple times a week.

also if you're putting caramel in something that something is a dessert

i am no fun :(

xpost people be liking to spend money on dumb stuff they think is cool cf headbands

except for the cool headbands

and the cool coffee

i guess

iced coffee poured into a plastic bag and frozen into the shape of a headband

people in brazil eat a lot of stuff that's not great for you -- juice with every meal, cheese and meat like crazy, loads of starches, loads of sugar, big portions. but they're all in amazing shape because they all play soccer and volleyball and lift weights and go rollerblading.

i want to play soccer

i've been drinking acai a lot -- it's very caloric, but a big one makes a filling lunch on a hot day.

acai?

i want to be in brazil i think

rrrobyn i am playing soccer in exactly one hour! i just joined an "adult" league ("adult" -- i got randomly assigned to a team and i think i might be the only person who can buy beer)

you would have a good time here, rrrobyn

not just a berry, a lifestyle!

i was going to start a rooftop soccer league but it fell through.

since people got arrested on roof

omg that would have been awesome

whoa the world of acai!

y'know i think there's an indie rock soccer scene here on wed nights (but usually i'm busy wed nights anyway) but you know my feelings on indie rock. and scenes.

i need to adopt a bunch of kids or something like in a movie and then have a soccer team

we would live on a big rooftop

we would also be spies

some of us would be robots

we would drink regular water and eat oranges not vitamin orange hydrasuperinfused water
maybe we would have a dog

air bud: world pup

no not that dog

a black one!

Also my roommate was supposed to train for the olympic soccer team

there is a law firm soccer league but fuck that, those guys are annoying at work, i don't wanna see em afterwards, too! also, i suck at soccer :(

playing soccer with lawyers sounds about as much fun as playing ultimate frisbee with government workers

by which i mean you don't feel so bad when they get hurt

lolz

The whole concept of a "superfood" is another dumb American idea that only confuses people about being healthy.

the pic on that is pretty interstellar hippie though

hey shasta i love that shit by i try to limit myself to just a bottle a month now.

when i feel like i'm getting a cold/flu/sore throat i buy the big bottle with the handle and have nothing else all day.

spiiiiruliiiiinnnaaaaa

everybody is on the money. i could read this thread all day. i seriously have a work-eating problem lately. i am eating waaaaaaay too much crap. and just way too much in general. i don't know what's wrong with me. must be stress. or something. yesterday at work, i ate an entire bag of chocolate biscotti and then later ate an entire tub of kozy shack tapioca pudding. and i had 2 coca cola. and a bag of chips. oh, and a sandwich in there somewhere (lean roast beef and jarlsberg and spicy mustard on a bagel).

i need more good things disguised/dressed up as good things. so many bags of heavy laundry to lift all night though. gotta keep my strength up!

oh and i am also doing that thing where i just drink coffee till noon and don't eat anything. and then finally i remember to eat something. and then go to work. my day is weird!

sorry for the complaints.

gotta run!

(i eat better on my days off. and i cook nice things for the fam.)

I had CORN tonight.

NOM NOM NOM

microwavable bags of vegetables have saved me from junkfood worklunch death , i tend to eat a whole bag at lunch with a small serving of protein or something. balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, & kosher seasalt at my desk at work now, haha.

I bought a box of organic corn flakes tonight, that say they're 'coated in cane sugar for flavor' or something.

Unhealthy, but at least it isn't loaded with HFCS like Kellogg's (hueg disappointment, dry corn flakes are my favorite snack food ever).

ok, so one good thing about bodegas vs. expensive manhattan delis:

25 cent bags of chips = you can eat a whole bag and not be a fat fuck

fuck you huge bag of chips

yeah, fuck you dorito breath
