Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 What Does 200 Calories Look Like? This link below provides a great example of WHY Americans are overweight. Even if not for " super- sizing " everything, it shows huge amounts of fruits and vegetables equaling 200 calories compared to 2 small glasses of Coke, 2/3 of a bagel, a handful of candy, etc. Our ancestors did eat fatty foods such as raw butter, milk and cream and meat, BUT they balanced appropriate portions of such things with fresh fruits, vegetables and grains, NOT Coca-Cola, Snickers Bars and Sara Lee. Check it out! --Cee-- http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-200-calories-look-like.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Wow, I LOVE this! Great information! Really puts common foods into perspective. I can eat apples til I overflow! lol. Did anyone else think the Fiber One cereal looked like meal worms? LOL. I was reading an article the other day that said on an evolutionary scale, humans ate a diet of meat and vegetables. When grains came along, disease followed shortly thereafter. Cyndi In a message dated 1/28/2007 10:15:20 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, cbrowne writes: What Does 200 Calories Look Like?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I can eat melons until I explode... LOL And Fiber One DID look to me like mealworms..!!! I guess we both are or were keeping fish? And I also read that humans started to get all the diseases after the onset of agriculture and grains. Come to think of it, grains in the raw state are only digestible for birds. Horses do not do good on it, cows get so sick on grains that they require different drugs to get better and grains are death to cats and to a lesser extent to dogs both ot which are carnivores. People definitely would do better on just meat and veggies. Barbara Wow, I LOVE this! Great information! Really puts common foods into perspective. I can eat apples til I overflow! lol.
