It sounds interesting. It'd be hard for me though because of stuff I can/can't eat for health reasons and not knowing what I'm going to get month by month.

I am kind of messing around with it right now. Apparently you can customize the snacks you receive. They have a ton to choose from.
Apparently the first box you get is a "Discovery box" and probably has a ton of different ones to try out.

Never even heard of that. Sounds pretty cool. I don't snack a lot though. My biggest thing is staying away from the booze when I'm working out hardcore.

I am gonna try it because my issue is always trying to get my metabolism up. I try to get 5 meals a day in and I think this will help with that a bit.

Yeah, eating five small meals a day is ideal. Revs up your metabolism like almost nothing else.

$20 isn't bad at all with free shipping (if I read that right). I may have to try it out just to see what it's like. If they have an option where you can select what you want each month that works for me.

Created by left wing activists with no reference to the jobs or low price food created for people with low income. Irrelevant.

Yeah, that's the main problem.

The very reason poor people are unhealthy stems from much more than coming to america and having access to mcdonalds. All that shite is already available in the country they came from.
It stems from a distension from traditional family values common in country (I'm speaking about Mexico here). Yea they're poor over there too but home cooked family meals are more common (uncles cousins grandparents etc) which equates to higher nutritional value. This also reduces stress levels so the taxation on the body (heart through a decrease in cortisol mostly)is mitigated somewhat. The decrease in this occurrence is 1). The American dream-work as much as possible to make as much as possible to better provided for your family and 2) working so much you have less time for your family and this eat shite meals and cause your body to degrade.
Don't put down the food industry because you watched a documentary before delving Into the root cause of the problem you illiterate Internet ingrates.
Feel free to do something about it like educate somalian refugees on the merits of vegetables and breast feeding for their children. I have. It'll do a whole hell of a lot more than believing the bullshite some a-hole with an agenda cooked up.

No one is force feeding mcdonalds and Burger King down peoples throats. Free choice still exists, Jesus almighty you're both a bunch of bleeding hearts.

yeah its a ridiculous propaganda piece.
These kinds of refutations -- IE insults with no facts -- strengthen both the premise of the documentary and indicate the level of ignorance and MSM brainwashing present in this country.
We are seriously fricked, and sadly, many will simply not see it. Look around you. Look at all the obese, sick, and depressed people. Look at the contents of their shopping carts -- look at the prescription meds they're taking. Stop living in denial man.
Superegg, have you ever farmed or produced food of any kind?
For if you had, you would know that you willfully lied in your comment. And likewise anyone else who has produced food knows that you're either dumber than a box of rocks or you are shilling for corp/ag/pharma/healthcare/gov.
Thanks for playing.

I saw that documentary, and it really grossed me out, but not enough to stop me from eating meat or fast food.
Ever since Supersize Me was debunked, I take most documentaries that have an agenda with a grain of salt. I was touring Auburn's college of Agriculture yesterday. We visited this huge lab where they synthesize and analyze different chicken feed formulas. He said they're not allowed to give the chickens hormones or steroids by law, and that extremely large chicken breasts are achieved through genetic selection. He also said that most farmers (both agribusiness and small-time) typically only give antibiotics to chickens in the case that they get sick, not like they just give them all daily doses in their food as a preventative measure. Point being, from talking to an agriculture professor with no vested interest in my opinion of the industry, the poultry industry seems to be on the up-and-up.

Yeah. I don't buy any one sided documentary any more. They set out to prove something and that makes it not a documentary but a hit piece.
Waiting for Superman was the last straw on those types.
I like Man on a Wire types though.

Actually, it's laziness and gluttony.
quote:
After eating nothing but McDonald’s for three months, the Iowa man lost 37 pounds and saw his cholesterol level drop significantly, local TV station KCCI reports.
quote:
Cisna enlisted his students to help him plan out a 2,000-calorie daily diet plan consisting only of food sold by the fast food giant. They also tried not to exceed recommended allowances of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fat calories and cholesterol.
For breakfast, Cisna typically ate two egg white delights, a bowl of maple oatmeal and 1 percent milk. For lunch, he’d usually opt for a salad. And for dinner he’d order a more traditional value meal, including items like Big Macs, ice creams and sundaes
quote:
During the experiment, Cisna walked for 45 minutes every day, and by the 90th day he reported that he’d lost 37 pounds. He also reported that his cholesterol had dropped from 249 to 170. He said he was able to get healthier simply because he made smart choices.
“It’s our choices that make us fat,” Cisna told KCCI. ”Not McDonald’s.”

That may be part of it, but I wouldn't discount how people eat growing up and learning consistently bad food habits at an early age that can be very hard to break later in life. Throw in genetic predisposition for health conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes and you can have a pretty bad combo.
I agree that it's more than just that they're poor and they only have access to bad foods.

I worked in public education when I saw it. I thought it was interesting but then you find out that G Canada is a dirty shyster that a). Doesn't accept special needs kids and b) kicks kids out that are going to hurt his schools scores it lost all validity as a documentary for propping him up.
The union BS with the lemon dance and muck room in NYC schools did make me mad but the Charter schools stuff turned me off of the whole thing
Posted on 1/12/14 at 2:27 pm to 3nOut
Here lately I've been dealing with some kids at work that have transferred in from charter schools out west. I often have a very difficult time getting records from them, especially ones that have decent diagnostics on which to accurately judge a kid's placement. One had completely "gone out of business" and left a kid with no school records whatsoever for 3 years. Another was special education when he was in our school system previously but received no services at his charter school because they "didn't believe in that". And he was one of those kids that legitimately needed services for dyslexia.
That's not saying there aren't ones that work, but I'm glad Kentucky hasn't adopted them. They're no more of a solution then what we have right now.
