Is it a sign that you're not young when you see that and go ugh. How bout some veggies and stuff.

Maybe you haven't aged enough. There's an awkward period in your 30's ~ 40's where your brain is confused and forgets what delicious looks like. Don't worry: you get it back in your 50's.

You're eating this shit in your 50s? I mean I love fried foods but if I'm gonna eat them I'm gonna get good stuff.

Oh, yeah. Ima take up smoking again when I turn 60. Statistically, something else will kill me long before I develop cancer if I start at that age.

I'm not opposed to better quality fried food, but there's something comforting about being able to dig into the freezer and pull out something to shove in the oven, without having to make a trip out, wait for for, and/or eat in public.

I’m being all smug over hear just finishing one of my most healthy meals ever. I made tuna steak, roast potatoes, and spinach salad. Lots of bright colors!

Speak for yourself, this platter just gave me a second wind!:))

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's giving me wind, all right ...

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's half the fun!;)

one part of my brain sees this and drools, another part of my brain knows how miserable it will be to poo after a day of eating only carbs and protein.

And this is why i feel you could make a tidy profit from selling chicken nuggets with ground up vegetables in them, like vitamin gummies except with food instead of candy. Meatballs are already basically this since they generally contain onion (at least in sweden).

Veggie "chicken" nuggets are already delicious! They're just expensive. I'd rather have morningstar nuggets than anything in this picture on taste alone, and I'm not vegetarian.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah vegan nuggets are basically the best vegan meat replacement, and it fucking baffles me that they are at all expensive since it's basically just pea/bean protein.
