I’m a software developer, so I love technology. I really do. But it has made us weak and lazy. Tehnology is a huge crutch. We’ve lost our strength as a species and now we are slowly descending intellectually as well. The End.
pretty philosophical comment on a hot dog ad.
Ha! Is NOT a hot dog. Ha ha ha!
:p
I’m totally down with this sentiment. Cooking for one blows.
@ Forkboy1965,
Totally agree! The amount of time required to prepare, cook and then clean up from a meal for one is ridiculous, especially in light of the fact that it takes a person about 10-15 minutes to eat.
@Jordan, even the brand name agrees with you, with its onomatopoeia of failure…
WAH wah..
The biggest obstacle to our farm selling good clean local food to people is their unwillingness or inability to cook. Soccer practice, tv, texting, Facebook, etc have become more important than preparing a meal and enjoying it with our family.
Very true. Technology is a crutch, says the programmer. No seriously. It is good, and necessary for progress, but it is like water and fire. And we are being careless with it.
Um, so using my smart phone app to have a pizza delivered right to my door tonight is probably not a good idea?
I love Friday Night Pizza Nite. Especially when it comes directly to my house.
Healthy living is not about completely giving up things you like. I eat delivered pizza a lot. Its about filling your diet with good things so you don’t feel like eating the bad stuff as much.
Most of the time, its not what you eat its where you get it.The ingredients they use in the states, for instance are woefully lacking in nutrition. To make food cheaper, process food like pizza contains a lot of chemical substitutes: soy lecithin replaces egg yokes as an emulsifier, sodium benzoate replaces ascorbic acid as a preservative, and mono-sodium glutamate replaces fish oil as a salting agent and flavor stabilizer. These replacements are cheaper, but they have a lot of negative side-effects that are only now being discovered. And the things they replace do not change the quality of the product. It really only comes down to cost.
It is my opinion that this is why America is fat. Saturated fats are actually good for us. They are necessary for brain health among other things. Saturated and unsaturated fat does not make someone fat. Hunger has nothing to do with an empty stomach. We are hungry because our body is asking for nutrients. If we eat foods that are low in nutrients we remain hungry because our bodies are not being given what they are asking for.
Finally, healthy living is not about being skinny or muscular either. People with low body fat can actually be less healthy and can suffer from fat deficiency problems; especially in women. Healthy living is about balance, and IMO delivered pizza is definitely one important side of that scale. 🙂
Sorry about writing an article basically, but I am passionate about this. We’ve all got it wrong, and it turns out, being healthy is much easier than people think it is. Just eat a lot of meat,fruits and vegetables, dairy, and to a much lesser extent grains. I argue for raw milk, but that’s another discussion entirely.
