Fried foods? - SuperiorMuscle.com

Personally, I think they taste disgusting. I prefer baked and grilled foods. Most people in family do nothing but fry their foods, and then they expect me to eat it. They think that fried foods taste better than anything else, and to me the grease totally ruins the natural flavors of the food. I guess I'm venting a little more than asking a question, but just how unhealthy can fried food be? I do know of the health risks like heart attack and stroke, but what other risks are there?

Well lets see there is the saturated fat that clogs your arteries and gives you heart disease and the trans fats that are linked to strokes and other neuro-degenerative diseases. Plus it makes your stomach feel like you just ate a tub of lard. Makes your skin oily and pimply. Makes you fat, which lowers your standard of living and shortens your lifespan and leads to other problems like diabetes and poor circulation. Ummmm, let me see, I could go on, but I think you get the point. Keep grillin' brotha and let those others that don't have a clue keep eating their fried crap and I guarantee one day they will look at you and wonder why you are so healthy and they feel like they are gonna keel over anytime. Mark my words.

You may want to try to convince them to take small steps to change their eating habits because you care about them and their health. Find some literature and put it where they can read it. Try everything you can to get through to them that all that fried shit may taste very good at that moment, but that they need to think about there long term health and what it's gonna do to them 20 years from now if they continue to eat like that consistently.

Shit, I'm from New Orleans, sugarnips, but I avoid it like the plague. I never really developed a tase for it. The grease and fat fills me up so quick and I can hardly eat anything else. Makes my tummy feel crappy too.
