Of course good nutrition is important. But there is so much navelgazing and import put onto food choices these days, when honestly, it should be on portion sizes.
Also, Wonderbread is fucking delicious. Don't even try to tell me that seven-grain bullshit is anywhere close.
lol.
Cheez Whiz on Wonderbread = awesome.
cville, kale is pretty good juiced with fruit, like apple and some ginger root.
I also suspect that the people who are the most indignant about organic foods and quinoa and shit like that? Would kill someone for a Twinkie half the time.

A blob of cream cheese on white bread heated up in the microwave was one of my go to snacks growing up.

Seven grain is gross. Even 100% whole wheat is pushing it. I need at least some honey, preferably cheddar and bacon to shove that shit down. I cannot make pb&j out of it though. No way, no how. That's vile. Someone get me the regular old wheat

I really liked that quinoa mac and cheese that somebody posted the other day, but I'm guessing the fact that I loaded it down with cheese takes away the health factor. Cheese can make anything taste good.

I think a Twinkie sounds fucking nasty.
Oh HO! Who's going to be sad they don't have a Twinkle supply once the apocalypse goes down? DON'T COME CRYING TO ME!
The shelf life freaks me out a little. It didn't keep me from eating them. It's good to know that one day, when we're all long-dead, old Twinkies will still be around, all nice and yellow and new.
Because the CEO I think has some shitty opinions about ACA or single payer or something else healthcare related. But from what I understand, he's not bankrolling opposition Cathy Truett style either so I don't get it.
I eat them and then regret it. Same with oreos, cool whip, and anything my mom bakes with crisco. Thin film of partially hydrogenated oil left in my mouth grosses me out.

Wonderbread is horrific! The texture is not bread-like. At all. It's mushy.
I really do think that bloggers and social media have influenced a lot of this. I mean, you've got all kinds of people out there who are really terrific in one or two areas - be it baking, or home improvement, or photography, and they've got everyone out there thinking that they also can be an awesome baker AND repurposer of ugly desks and momtographers.
I think the reality is most of us do the best we can. Some days we might make brownies from scratch and take a glorious photo with our Canon Rebel and cheap lens of a kid (or cat) in front of the Christmas tree complete with catch lights, and another days it's takeout pizza and an iphone snapshot. That's okay and healthy and normal, but some of these message boards and blogging communities would have you believe that if you're not building your kid's changing table out of chemical-free popsicle sticks and making their baby food out of organic sweet potatoes, you're a horrible parent.

Your mom's a douchecanoe!
Hmph. My mom is delightful! Greasy Crisco hands and all!

I love homemade bread. However, my ass would be the size of Texas if we never had store bought bread. Homemade bread = eat the whole damn loaf in one sitting. Store bought bread can last a week or more. Also, who the hell wants to turn on the oven to bake bread in a 100 degree heat, when you can drive your ass to the store?
I'm also about 90% sure all of those we make everything from scratch, never has a processed food touched my lips type people are lying through their teeth and have ding dongs and frozen pizzas hidden in their house.
I hate Twinkies. I loved them as a teenager but every time I've given into nostalgia and bought one, I was underwhelmed.
Swiss cake rolls, however, are like crack. CRACK I SAY.

I really do find that I feel sick after eating too much processed food now that I've attempted to cut back on it, but that doesn't stop me from consuming nearly an entire package of peanut butter oreos in one sitting. Some things are worth the pain.
You just can't make a decent grilled cheese with bread that has seeds in it.
Truth. And I do typically like the 100% whole grain whatever rabbit food crap. Also, kale is delicious with a maple & soy vinaigrette, and that's the only way I can eat it. Cooked kale is fucking disgusting.
Beyond that, like someone upthread said, this is all mommy wars horseshit. I think it also goes with the convo we had last... month? about the myth of having it all. I don't think that the feminist dialogue has integrated the idea of opportunity cost yet. You can either grind your own quinoa flour to make preservative-free bread, but if you do that, you have to realize that hour (or whatever) of your life is gone forever.

You'll have to pry Oreos and frozen Red Baron pizza from my cold, dead hands.
It's exhausting trying to keep up with different food fads.
I try to avoid HFCS. We buy ketchup and bread and BBQ sauce without it, but sometimes I enjoy eating a bowl of Blue Bell or dipping my chicken fingers in HFCS-laden honey mustard.
I buy organic milk simply because it tastes better (to me) than what we used to buy.
I never buy white bread, although I miss it dearly sometimes.

Every.Single. One of those quinoa lovers has some kraft mac-n-cheese and a box of oreos in their pantry they don't want to fess up to. Every one.
I'm pretty on par with what LTP is saying. But I grew up eating S.H.I.T and was morbidly obese as a kid. I'm not perfect and I agree how it does turn into a mommy war thing a lot of the time but I always get defensive in these threads, not sure why.

I made my own whipped cream for the first time ever last month when I ran out of the tub stuff while making a dessert for work... holy hell its easy and tastes sooo good.
But I'll still buy tub crap sometimes cause its easy.
PS: Honeybuns. I will murder a herd of baby lambs for a box of honeybuns any day of the week.
