it's funny I have a bunch of rollie-pollie "I'm so gamer" WoW fools I work with, I watch these guys get fatter and fatter by the minute. Every day they tell me "aw man I wish I could say no to all the stuff you say no to, you always bring in such good food but I dont have time to make something like that". My diner last night was some immitation lobster bits and some asparagus, cooking a microwave bag of vegis and the lobster took 6 minutes, while I took care of the baby. It takes 10-20 minutes of thier break time to run down to the pizza place and buy themselves 2 slices and a soda. Cost of my meal about $5, cost of thiers $10, 6 minutes vs 10 minutes, and about 200 calories (no carbs or fat) to thier 600 or so calories with a ton of fat and carbs. Boxxy's right it's just a choice to be lazy.

I hate to throw myself into the middle of this argument, but I'd say a good part of most video gamer or even teenage obesity comes from soda. People don't realize how many calories are in it and especially with things like Mountain Dew you have to keep increasing how much you drink to get that caffeine rush.

yeah a couple years ago i read that someone who drinks a few cups of soda daily...can keep the same diet for an entire year, but switch to water instead of soda and lose around 25 lbs

I did not know that, Dark 0mega! I generally do not drink Soda. When I was super young, the carbonation was very uncomfortable on my tongue and it took me years to get used to it. I mean, I love soda now, but I rarely drink it. For the past year, I've had mostly only milk, beer, liquor, and water. I think out of the past year, I've only had soda about 5 times.
You know, my dad has an eating disorder. Once he starts, he like, can't stop or something. I don't know why he does it. He hasn't actually come out and said to me that he has an eating disorder because I try not to bring it up, but my mom (divorced) claims he has one to me when I talk about him eating all of the brownies and all of the cookies and doughnuts and whatever before the end of the day that we buy the food on.

It's... It's confusing, you know? I just looked at that Wikipedia page. lol
But... Then I went to Encyclopedia Dramatica and found some good pictures.
Here are some other interesting things to keep this thread going.
Mike Tyson eats people. Look how fit he is...
Look at this kabob. It is the american way...
Shredder eats turtles. Sadly, he doesn't want to eat anything else. This is an example of Selective Eating Disorder (SED).
Why so srs?
There isn't much to it. Continuously devouring foods like the lingerers is not healthy. But I'd also like to add that eating too little is not healthy either. If people don't plan to get healthy soon, they'll be meeting Wilford Brimley:
because they just developed Diabetes.

it would probably work for me too, but i drink beer so ill never lose the carbonation lbs...jsut have to stay to healthy eating portions
I learned this information the hard way a few months ago during a yearly physical. The doctor asked me about my caffeine intake and I said "1 or 2 bottles of Mountain Dew." He replied, "A week?"
He nearly punched me in the face when I say in a day.
So yeah, you can eat as healthy as you want, but if you are addicted to Harsh Mistress Caffeine, Mountain Dew is like arsenic laced with cyanide.
