Some Forking Truth about Lunch Meat

IMG_8903

Lunch meat is that easy to use already prepared food product that is sliced and ready to go in-between bread with all kinds of toppings to make an easy, quick, tasty sandwich. But here is some Forking Truth about lunch meat that you might not think about.

When you go to the deli counter at your local grocery store they offer three different kinds of lunch meat for you to purchase.

The most expensive deli meats are called “whole cuts”. They are what they sound like. They are flavored whole pieces of meat. They might be roast beef, corned beef, or turkey breast.

Other meats are called “sectioned and formed products”. They are bonded sections of meat that are formed together with forking meat glue made from non-meat additives. Some examples are cooked ham or multi part turkey breast. These meats are formed into a shape that looks like it could have came that way to fool you.

Lastly are processed products. They are bologna, other meats and hotdogs.

Processed meats are chopped, seasoned, and formed into shape with forking weird technology.

Most lunch meats contain nitrates and nitrates have been linked to certain forms of cancer. Lunch meat manufactures add the nitrates to keep the meat fresh for long periods of time.

That was some Forking Truth about lunch meat.

The Forking Truth is that It’s hard to tell WTFork is Low Carbohydrate

IMG_8905

I found out I didn’t know WTFork low carb was all because of this snack food “Quinoa Crisps” that I liked. I thought they seemed forking healthy and low carb as much as a snack food could be…after all they were called Quinoa Crisp. The nutrition seemed pretty natural and healthy with forking low calories and almost fat free……  I did forking notice that quinoa wasn’t a top ingredient in quinoa chips.

A closer look at the nutrition reveals The Forking Truth!

IMG_8906

One ounce is only 100 calories and 1 gram fat BUT THE TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES are a FORKING 20 GRAMS FOR ONLY ONE FORKING OUNCE!

LOOK

Forking potato chips has only 15 grams!

I always heard that a high carb food was something  starchy like a potato, bread or pasta so I looked up the nutrition of a potato. About 3 1/2 ounces or 100 grams of a plain baked potato has 18 grams of total carbohydrate. THAT MEANS anyone can eat 3 1/2 FORKING TIMES the amount of potato and that’s STILL FORKING 2 LESS total carbohydrates to equal the total carbohydrates in just one ounce of Quinoa Crisps!

So I thought I’d do a little more forking research and here it is.

Low carbohydrate diets are used to treat or prevent chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

The typical low carbohydrate diet consist of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, seeds, leafy vegetables, some other non-starchy vegetables and berries.

Some fruits and vegetables are high carb.

Very High Carb fruits are

tangerines, cherries, grapes, pomegranates, mangos, figs, bananas & dried fruits

High Carb Vegetables are

beets, peas, acorn & butternut squash, water chestnuts, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn & plantains. (a serving of 100 grams of example cooked beets run about 9.5 grams of total carbs and 100 grams of yams run 37 grams of total carbs)

It’s nearly forking impossible to determine how many carbohydrates you should consume in a day. Basically if you are young, active and healthy it should be about 40% of calorie intake. If you  are 50 and over and or have health issues the number goes somewhere around 20% of your food intake and one site I came across rolled out a carb number of only 130 a day for people with high sugar or diabetes.

It’s hard to tell WTFork is low carbohydrate.

WTFork Happened to Yogurt?…….. Yogurt Used to be a HEALTHY Food

IMG_8116

WTFork happened to yogurt? …….Yogurt used to a be a healthy food. Hippies would eat it with Grapenuts or fresh fruit. They also used to show TV documentaries and TV commercials with 100 year old+ Russian People all eating yogurt and it was suggested that yogurt was a contributing factor that was associated with longevity or old farts living way past 100 forking years old doing forking hard farm work and liking it all eating yogurt.

Yogurt is produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk.

People have been eating yogurt for at least 5,500 years.

Eating yogurt can help you absorb nutrients from other foods better.

I doubt you get the same healthy benefits when your yogurt is mixed with forking candy. I also doubt that candy taste good in yogurt. I forking like candy but would never eat candy in forking yogurt. For me they sure don’t forking pair well.

The Chobani Yogurts pictured up top featured yogurts with bowls of chocolates on top of them that were Hershey’s Pips & Whoppers Malt balls.

If I was a forking kid and got that in my forking lunch I’d toss the yogurt out into a forking sewer and just keep the forking chocolates.

But Chobani isn’t the only one that offers you forking candy with your yogurt.

The FORKING TRUTH that VITAMINS are Imports from China

Forking Truth

Forking Truth

Most  vitamins are forking imports from China.

90% of vitamin C comes from China according to the Seattle Times.

50% of aspirin, 35% Tylenol and the majority of vitamins A, B-12, and E also come from China according to democratic underground.com.

Many pet foods contain vitamin C according to Epoch Times and I directly found out from the IAMS Co that some of their vitamins and minerals might come from China. They also told me that the pet food industry is very competitive and they don’t reveal their sources. I also got a similar message from Purina.

This news is forking alarming to people who read the news or watch news TV because Chinese Food Safety Scandals make the headlines forking often.

According to the Epoch Times only a FORKING 2% of imported vitamins are inspected.

Many foods we consume are made with added vitamins.

Also alarming is that the areas in China where the vitamins are produced happen to be the most polluted areas in China and also the world.
