I am 52, and I have never ever had a mammogram!!!!

The thing is here in the USA, I cant eat the bread(I cant even eat the brown, wholewheat or wholegrain bread because its so sweet), the margarine here is so sickly(even the I Cant Beleive Its Not Butter variety, which is what I used 2 buy in the UK, cos it was more disgestable) it makes me wanna puke, EVERYTHING here is so loaded with sugar and is so sweet!! The cheese here is all rubbery and processed and totally lacks taste!!

No wonder theres more and more illnesses and diseases like diabetes here!! I personally beleive that Americans need 2 get back 2 basics and learn what REAL PROPER food is and start learning to cook from scratch using FRESH REAL ingredients instead of relying on packet stuff like Hamburger Helper and DiGornios Pizza and TV Dinners!!!

DONT ANY OF U WATCH RACHEL RAY?????

OR ARE U ALL JUST "TOO BUSY" TO COOK NOW?????

I think the original post must've been written out of order. First came the boastful claim of never having a mammogram then came the "are you crazy?" look. It makes perfect sense that way.

What in the hell is the point of this thread?

You think you're the only person who eats real, whole foods?

Or is it about your husband's social worker thinking you're a wack job because instead of talking about his care you started yelling about how your mother fed you REAL FOOD!!!

Mammograms?

Bread?

I'm so confused.

it's crazy to say that people here in the USA don't eat real food! sure there are people that eat a lot of junk food here, and fast food, etc. but there are a lot of people who also eat a well balanced diet, filled with fresh fruits and veggies. where i live we have many, many farmer's markets which have some great fresh produce. maybe you should seek out some local markets in your area? and have you tried baking your bread at home? or going to a local bakery?

i lived in brazil for a long time, and i remember people there making fun of what they thought people in the USA ate too, and i started to get annoyed sometimes, because yeah, they make a lot of things home made in brazil, but they also like junk food, and tons of soda, etc. and many foods there are fried.

I think south americans drink more soda than the rest of the world put together

(how's that for a sweeping generalisation )

I'm right there with you.

And anyone who thinks what Rachel Ray does is an example of good eating is double nuts.

Desire2006 said:

Please STFU about this country, seriously. If you want healthy food here, you'll find it.

this whole *^)*&^#$ thread makes me want to go grab a coke, eat a loaf of wonder bread, hit mcdonalds, taco bell, wendy's, all for a value meal, and top it off with some bad cheese.

It won't make me too sick, cuz I know my body.....

Oh, and I can't stand Rachel Ray, either.....

so I will watch Paula Deen and learn how to cook with butter.


God, I am really in a piss poor mood...

My husband is disabled and because of that medical services and hospitals, doctors, medications, health care and everything that goes with it are a part of our life and, obviously, its virtually a HUGE part of the American life as well!! In fact, I would say that it takes up moreorless 85% of this countrys way of life, which, to be honest, I am so totally shocked about!!

Anyway, my husband has just been assigned a new social worker, because his previous one had left, and she came round 2 see us one day last week, and, anyway during the conversation I told her that I had no real cause to b constantly visiting doctors and clinics and everything and I told her that I was virtually a very healthy person, due 2 my parents, particularly my mother giving, not only me, but my sister a very good start in life with proper REAL food as babies and children and, as a family, we lead a very healthy lifestyle!!!

Anyway, when I told my husbands social worker this, she virtually looked at me as if I was some weird freak of nature!!

Is being sick and ill and disabled now, in the USA, the normal way of life now????

I am totally shocked!!!!!

I am 52, and I have never ever had a mammogram!!!!

I might do that...I have marshmallows! Or I may just have a good cry.

ZombieKitten said:

Ooh, I could kill for some marshmallows right now. I might have to get a taxi out to Villa supermarket just to get some.
