The American way of eating.

Middle-scale sitdown restaurants like Applebee's, Olive Garden, Chili's, etc. are often just as terrible offenders as fast food like McDonald's. Huge portions, low-quality ingredients, excessive salt and fat, etc.
Cheesecake Factory was ranked as the most unhealthy restaurant out there, last year or the year before. I've never had their food, but I have drank a few pints at their bar - and let me tell you, even the lunch salads look sizable enough to feed three or four people.

In America, if you eat healthy, it becomes an issue.
Dave Tate has a nice rant about this:
• You ever go out with a bunch of people for dinner when you're dieting? Isn't that a fucked up situation?
Let's say you're at a table with seven people and everyone's ordering their food. You're at the end so you're ordering last. They're getting ribs, chicken strips, spaghetti, and whatever. No one in the group cares what they're ordering. The conversation stays the same. Then it comes to you and your first question is, "How do you prepare your chicken breasts?"
People start looking at you.
Then you order two plain chicken breasts with a side of broccoli with no butter or seasoning. The waiter writes it down and off he goes to the kitchen. Now everyone's looking at you like you're a freak.
They didn't care that your other friend was eating ribs. They didn't say shit when the guy ordered his chicken strips. So how is your meal selection any different? It blows my mind.
If you ordered something that was complete shit, no one would say anything. But because you ordered something to help you achieve a goal, it's a problem. And now for the next ten minutes you're having that stupid fucking conversation.

I tried it last year in New York and haven't appreciate it . To be honest, Most of you have probably see the difference between your food and other country's food when your traveling . The majority of your restaurant have a taste for greesy and everything is fried . Not only that but your fast food are not like other countrys. You have way bigger portion and more calories in your food .

This thread should be called "The Obese Americans Way of Eating".
Not all of us eat that way. Its only the unmotivated, unfocused, junk food addicts who eat this garbage. Junk food is like drug for them. They get addicted. Its a vicious cycle. I admit, thats about 75% of us. But, the other 25% are some of baddest motherfuckers on the planet.
Including most of the top players on this forum.
We know that...
-Health is wealth
-Food is medicine
-Looks count
-"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
-If you take care of yourself you can bang 24 year olds well into your 40's or 50's
And, yes, thats makes us outcasts.
We are not the norm. We are not average.
Success breeds hate.

I'm on a GI diet, have been for a year. While I mainly surround myself with tolerant I have lost count of how many times I've heard the line "diet? But you look great you don't need to diet".
It's like simple cause and effect logic stops existing the second it comes to food...

I dont cut people out who give me shit about eating and being healthy, I keep them even closer, I Rub that shit in. When I see they eating chips and ice cream I sneer and shake my head. I make them leave me because they cant deal with the guilt. No quarter for fatties.

I eat chips, pizza, ice cream, drink gallons of soda, etc and laugh at those that "can't".
It's great having a high metabolism.

There is nothing wrong with eating Applebees or other fast food once in a while. The problem is so many people dont understand that shit is a treat. Once in a while isn't going to hurt you, but it shouldn't be common place. Getting your kids a happy meal for one or two meals a month is fine, but stop feeding the poor bastards that shit 4x a week.
My mom cooked me eggs and toast for breakfast ad a kid, sandwichs for lunch, and steakand broccoli for dinner. I'm so glad she did because I have always been in the habit of eating whole foods, and not shit from a box. Not that I ate super healthy as a kid, but it was sooo much better than what many moms feed their children. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing fat parents take their poor fat children to Taco Bell. They should be arrested for that shit.

I believe eating at these restaurants, like RioNomad, says, once a great while won't hurt you. I mean like, maybe once a month. This can be grouped with eating fast food or other taboo restaurants. I personally, try to eat at home as much as possible, as i can prepare healthy meals that are low in calories, high in protein, and fiber. I don't think you can have a perfect diet all the time, that once in a while almost all of cheat a little. But its how you control yourself overall. Portion control, calorie control, balanced diet, and minimal carbs are just a part of my everyday lifestyle. I do believe in the long run i will be healthier, live longer, and look younger. THIS IS WORTH MUCH MORE, than having an unhealthy meal at these places.

It makes fat people look fatter when their kids are skinny. A skinny kid is proof that genetics aren't at fault, but rather the stupid, fat lazy parent's piss poor decisions. Thus the trips to Taco Bell. So, NOM NOM NOM away.

I rolled through a Chili's (sort of like Applebee's, I believe) in New Hampshire last year on a road trip with some buddies. We hadn't eaten in ~8 hours and we were starving. What's the reasonable thing to do when you're really hungry at a restaurant? Order an appetizer and a main. Hell, here in Thailand I usually have to get two mains if it's a post-training meal.
Me and my mates each ordered a plate of chicken wings as an app, and various mains. I don't even remember what I ordered because I barely touched it.
I am 6'3, 200lbs. At the time I was like 220-230. I've always been a big eater. And like I said, I hadn't eaten all day and was starving.
I COULD BARELY FINISH A CHILI'S APPETIZER
All around us were people (mostly fat) who we watched put back a full appetizer, that would probably feed a family of four at most people's dinners, and then a main course. Of course, then there's dessert. And 3-5 litres of coke to wash it down.
I had always known on an intellectual level that middle America ate like shit, but I had never experienced it so viscerally. It was like reading about the holocaust Vs. visiting a concentration camp.
