Random Fail: First World Problems

[Ratatapa]

I just lol at the 'i need to watch calories' on a chocolate bar

Because even if you find a car with 100 calorie instead of 200 or w/e it's still not gonna be good for your health! (if thats their goal)

First world fail is pretty much every goddamned entertainment news website spoiling the new comic book movies within 2 days of their release. Especially when they lead with a spoiler headline and then include a spoiler warning a few lines into the story. I mean, this summer I saw Capt. America 2, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy all on opening weekend and I'd be PISSED if I didn't because of god damned spoilers everywhere.

You're a sick bastard

I think you're the sick bastard for not letting a child experience things or have some of the things they like.

Nynja, I have to ask. At this point, how much is Rata paying you to make him not be the most idiotic poster outside of Maz?

But having a treat from time to time isn't going to be as detrimental as people seem to want us all to believe. One chocolate bar here and there isn't going to be all that bad for one's health. Are there better options? Of course. But it isn't that terrible. If you eat 1500 calories a day which totals 10500 per week, then a 200 calorie chocolate bar is insignificant.

Pretty much this. As someone who grew up with all junk food/processed foods and never ate fruit until I was an adult , I do wish my mom had been more informed and gave me actual limits because frankly as an adult I had no fucking clue how to moderate myself. There are about a million factors , some of which have been touched on already and countless others why this child may have wanted to know. Now I understand the line of thought with how it can look detrimental but unless it's someone you know personally or see regularly to the point of being concerned for their actual health and know their history , then really it doesn't matter. I grew up the fat kid - partly due to environment and partly due to my own choices. Being informed isn't a bad thing , as someone said earlier obsessing over every calorie can be but some people NEED to for specific reasons as well. Even though I'm currently fixing my lifestyle doesn't mean I deprive myself of everything forever. I make choices. Some restrictions I have to stick with.
Everything is a balance and moderation but random judgements over a one time encounter are what I find most fail imo.

Cut ties with crazy ex gf a few weeks back (a random win). Go to the doctors for routine checkup. Get call today from doctor. Turns out my suspicions of her cheating where true. Gave me chlamydia. Now I have to take a regime of antibiotics because I done stuck my dick in crazy.

ITT today: starting good habits as a kid is a first world fail.

From further back than I can remember, I would check nutritional labels to see the calories/fat/cholesterol on food. Just as one of those habits I was brought up with. This doesn't mean I counted calories, had self-esteem issues, or fears of obesity/anything related, or diabetes. I was simply taught to be aware and conscious of what I was eating. No harm ever came from it. It’s a good habit to have.

Checking the calories on a chocolate bar is for the same reason as anything else. Just because it's unhealthy no matter what, doesn't mean that there are not different degrees of unhealthy. A snack-sized bag of chips can range from like <100 calories to 400+ (looking at you, fritos). The difference is pretty considerable, and just because 'it's unhealthy no matter what' doesn't mean it isn't worth being conscious of, or wouldn't effect your decision.

Obsessing over it is probably is unhealthy as a kid, but we have no idea if that's the case in this situation.

I think the goal is to be less bad.

A little bit of bad every so often isn't a big deal. But a lot of bad can be.

Hey now youre gettin it
So why does the amount of cals in one chocolate bar matter if its a treat??

If youre adding 50/100/200 over a weeks regimen of cals, in the grand scheme of things, its pretty irrelevant.

Because even with treats, you still have to be careful. 100 calories can make a difference, and hell some treats (please refer back to my cheesecake reference) you probably don't even realize contain your full calorie intake for the day in one "treat"

There are literally thousands of diseases that are significantly affected by nutrition. Why can't you find them on google? Because the world isn't full of sick people, it's full of fatties and healthy people. Google is a numbers game. also probably because you're using shitty search terms.

How do I know there are that many? Because your diet affects pretty much everything. Every system in your body is interconnected, and your digestive system is linked directly to all of them. She could have any of those diseases, Crohn's included, or maybe she was just fat and got sick of being picked last all the time. Or maybe she's at extremely high risk for diabeetus, or heart disease. Or maybe she has a condition AND is at extreme risk. Or maybe she just learned about calories and is doing it for fun, or for a science project.

With Crohn's, calorie counting can be either a waste of time, or vastly important. Depends on your symptoms and any other conditions you might have. Some people fucking balloon with Crohn's. They gain a fuckton of weight. Sometimes they start out that way. However they get fat, it's not a good idea to stay that way. Being overweight puts a lot of strains on every other system in your body, and it's already working hard to heal. On the other end, there are people like me who lose a dangerous amount of weight. When I'm at my sickest, my body doesn't absorb as many nutrients from what I eat. And my appetite decreases. Every calorie I eat takes on vast importance. Do I waste what few calories I'm going to eat on a shitty ass candy bar, or do I eat something that will actually help me not die?


like i said, plenty of reasons.


also, the reason i called you an idiot is the fucking source you linked. it's some random fucking health site doing a bullshit article about health for healthy people and fatties. you might as well have linked an article titled "Which comic character are you?" or "23 ways to please your man!"

Holy shit has anyone here actually been in a 20 mile contact with a nine year old kid before?

Kid probably learned two days ago from an infomercial what a calorie was and is now applying it to everything. FFS you guys over analyze.

I had my 11 year old cousin ask me about the Iraq war a few months back. I can sorta see why with my brother being in the army but I was a little off guard for that one.

edit: reason I say this is do not underestimate what a kid may or may not know.
