I AM IN LOVE WITH POP TARTS!! :)
Hi, Matt:
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting about "Pop Tarts". I guess 3 of them is a reasonable amount of calories for a small breakfast (for a gainer).
After looking at the "read" you added and what nutritionists have to say, I was thinking of the following:
Humans have existed for tens of thousands of years and eating mostly unhealthy food (by todays standards). And we very likely will continue to do so, unless we succeed in violently killing each other!
All along in nature everything has adjusted over the centuries and milleniums to whatever changes occurred, both in the short run and in the long run.
So, I am sure that gainers' bodies adjust to "unhealthy" food. Obviously gainers themselves get used to their extra body weight, another adjustment. All we have to do is look at all the fat people that live around us. I read that well over half of us are overweight (according to antiquated standards). It doesn't kill us off, the population increases including seniors.
So, Matt, enjoy your Pop Tarts. Those "% of daily value" don't apply to serious gainers, they would be totally unrealistic.
Thanks for triggering my thoughts,
Norbert.
