I've joked in the past about imperial > metric, but as someone that constantly has to do the math to convert feet to yards for both area and volume and also use acres and miles. I really do wish we'd just make the fucking switch already.
EXACTLY!!
god.. too much fat is bad, yes. however, people seem to completely forget that _food_ fat does not equal _body_ fat. sugar is much more impactful.
Oh God, if I cut out fats I would collapse by lunch. Need the slow burning calories. When I eat carbs I will blink twice and burn them all. If I eat pasta and red sauce it's like I didn't even eat.
Have a hug. I've reached the point where the new small potatoes I used to love and all the ditto pasta makes me slightly uncomfortable just thinking about eating them...
A good focaccia is what I miss the most.
Red sauce = tomato based usually a bolognese, spaghetti, ragu, or marinara sauce depending on the area.
White sauce = cream based usually an Alfredo sauce.
Just a broad classification of pasta sauces.
During the making of that video we see, there was a massive push from food manufacturing giants like Nestle to make fat seem bad, which is why we still see so many foods labelled "low fat" today that are less healthy than their full-fat alternatives.
Fat in food fills you up at the end of the day, and makes it taste good. They take the fat out, add in artifical flavouring to replace the lack of taste, then add artifical sweeteners to make it taste "good" and that leads to overconsumption.
Food manufacturers then look at sales figures and see they're going up and up, and further the development of this as a manufacturing technique and market it hard.
The anti-fat craze was wildly stupid. Hey, here's a 16 pound bag of sugar, it has 0 fat, so it must be a healthy snack right?!
Oh what's that, full calorie soda has 0 fat? Clearly we should be drinking at least 6 sodas per meal.
Its not even bad its just each gram of fat is calorie dense compared to other forms of calories. You can be a very low carb diet and eat lots of fat and protein if your body enjoys that better. Youre going to get energy either way.
This is old though…I’m guessing mid 90s? There was a real focus with fat alone at that time when it came to dieting. You rarely heard about sugar content…people drank soda and fruit juice a lot without thought. Hell they used to market liquorice as “Fat Free”.
Whenever I see nutrition charts comparing something to multiple donuts, it just makes me think I should treat myself to donuts more often because they have far less sugar than a can of coke and far less fat than an enormous oval platter of Mexican food.
"what we found was pretty grim!"
did you find that not enough people are mindlessly racist? because i'm pretty sure hamburgers, pizza, or fried chicken wouldn't do so great on the highly scientific "glazed donut" scale either.
Yeah, that scale implying donuts are bad because they contain fat, lol. I mean, fat is bad too but... What an idiotic metric.
Did you know a salad with a little bit of olive oil has way more fat that a big glass of coke cola?
And with the old footage quality, i guess this is from the time when fat was attacked as the main reason for obesity with studies finaced by, ding ding ding, sugar companies
Since the 50s the sugar industry spent millions and millions funding studies, actual doctors and various campaigns to point the finger of health issues away from sugar and in other directions. The biggest and probably most successful scapegoat was fat.
I'd be surprised if this study wasn't funded by them (probably indirectly).
Nothing would when it's served in those enormous portions. If I was in a European restaurant and that came to my table I would think I accidentally ordered a sharing platter. I don't understand how you could watch this and think the fat content is the problem instead of the overall volume.
This is back from when people thought fats were the worst thing you can put in your body
Healthy fats are an important part of a diet as long as you don't overdo it
That's hilariously incorrect. Fat absolutely stores as fat. If it doesn't in your body, that means you're dead. It stores incredibly efficiently, in fact, only needing about 2% of the resulting calories in TEF to digest, meaning 98% of the calories you eat from fat, stores in your adipose tissue AS FAT.
Sugar also stores as fat, depending on your needs at the time, as well as other factors. But it also is litetally the fuel of choice for your red blood cells, your brain, your central nervous system, and is the exclusive energy system available in anaerobic work, like exercise or intense bouts of activity. If you have no sugar in your blood, you are also dead.
Every carb you eat will be broken down to glucose. Longer chain carbs take more to break down. That glucose will enter the blood stream to be used directly, stored as glycogen in the muscles, or in adipose tissue as fat. We also convert up to half of the protein we eat into glucose, to make sure our brain, nerves, and blood keeps a steady supply available to keep us alive.
Sugar itself is not the enemy. Highly processed, nutritional empty, low satiety foods are. You can still enjoy them in moderation, though, and still be metabolically healthy, as long as you get adequate quality protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals from your other food sources, and don't excessively overeat your target calories.
Found the dietitian... The biggest enemy of health in America is misinformation. We listen to randos on YouTube because they tell us what we want to hear instead of the actual science like this.
Or maybe, just maybe its the overconsumption of food in general. People who weigh like 300 pounds up dont just have a problem with a specific macronutrient.
I mean, some of them do have sugar addictions and get the majority of their excess calories from sweet drinks. I know a few people who eat generally healthy meals, but pound a couple two liters of soda a day and their daily coffee looks and smells more like a milkshake. A lot of people think it’s only about the food you eat, but the calories you drink count too.
Fat fuck here and can confirm this is how I got to my previous weight. Have since cut a lot of shit out of my diet and reined in my portion sizes and am losing weight pretty fast.
Thing is, much of Mexican food (or the version served in the US) doesn't pass muster as healthy fats. Take a chili relleno. You have a stuffing of asadero cheese, so plenty of saturated fat with limited nutritional value. Then it is battered and fried, creating trans fats. It may then be served alongside refried beans, which often are made with lard, another source of saturated fat.
There are options that skip out on the worst of these, but most of the typical menu doesn't have many options for health fats. The best you can usually do is something like a fish taco or fajitas.
This is back when fat was the devil. Also MSG. But Ritz crackers, Fruity Pebbles, and buckets of fruit juice were good for you because they were “fortified with essential nutrients.”
Would that work for Mexican food outside of Texas? Cause I live in California and I feel texmex is it's own type of food separate from what you would find in my local Mexican Food for Americans places.
People need to NOT go the opposite direction of thinking fats are healthy or "not going to fuck you over". If any food thing is tasty AF, chances are it's not good for you and you need to eat them in moderation.
The most common 3 things in food that makes them super tasty are: Fats, sugars, and sodium. Unsurprisingly they're all very bad for you if you over do them.
* Fats can cause high cholesterol which leads to very bad things. It's also high calorie so you can easily get fat eating too much fat. Fat can ABSOLUTELY fuck you over.
* Sugars can complicate diabetes (the more simple the sugar is the worse it is usually), and sugar is high calorie which means you can get fat easily. It's actually easier to get fat due to sugar than from fats because you need to also add on the fact that sugar can be addictive.
* Salts can raise blood pressure which causes hypertension (high blood pressure) which leads to very bad things.
Seriously, think of any food you think tastes great. Chances are it's high in at least one of those things. In fact a lot of restaurants will load up their foods with fats (extra oil), sugars and salt to make it far tastier than home cooked meals. That's why moderation is key.
When you take into account the shortening in the dough and the deep fat fry bath they have to take. There's some.
But you should be way more worried about all the sugar.
As someone that lived half my life in San Antonio, we absolutely do not give a fuck about how unhealthy the food is. Shout out for the vintage KENS5 footage.
What a stupid metric. The amount of fat in a glazed donut is small because it’s almost entirely carbs. Of course a meal that consists of meat and cheese is going to be high in fat.
But eating fat doesn’t make you fat. If you wanted to be honest, you’d just compare calories. And even then, that ignores the stuff in Mexican food like protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals that you’re not going to get from a fucking donut.
I mean if you actually eat some straight up food without all the added crap, steam up some black beans, peppers, onion, etc. and throw in in a wheat taco wrap with maybe some homemade guacamole, tomatoes, and diced lettuce, you are fine. The problem is people are eating refried beans, a crazy amount of cheese, sour cream, and things like steak in their "mexican food" in America.
Doughnuts? what a dumb comparison.
thats like me saying 3oz of salmon has 20grams of fat but a 3oz doughnut only has 11 grams of fat.
Its not the total fat amt but the quality of fat e.g., Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids but Doughnuts typically contain unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats
1 chilli releno platter: 280 calories.
1 glazed donut medium size: 190/300 calories.
Eating 10 of those donuts grants you a whopping 1900/3000 calories, covering your total calorie intake for the entire day:)
Also, spicy food is pretty healthy for your metabolism^^

Ah yes, the American glazed donut standard!
Anything but the metric system.
How big is the metric system anyway? Is it about 4⅞ football field?
About 2,150 washing machines
Depends if they’re full.
They're semi-full.
Banana for scale?
Holy shit I got this reference...its a good day.
Roughly 4,473 Ariana Grandes
Front loaders or top loaders?
242 dicks.
Ask that question within 447 glazed donuts of America. I DARE you.
And don't forget, the Statue of Liberty is always watching...
It's like around 7 teen aged whales
Can you convert it to glazed donuts please..
We use freedom units in this country, just like Jesus intended.
Jesus was wondering where all the freedom went, and here he finds you, turning it into tradable units smh
I've joked in the past about imperial > metric, but as someone that constantly has to do the math to convert feet to yards for both area and volume and also use acres and miles. I really do wish we'd just make the fucking switch already.
If you don’t have to pull out a calculator to figure things out, then it sucks /s
Everything but the metric system
Specifically the fat content, which donuts are not particularly fatty, more sugary. They aren’t comparing calories.
EXACTLY!! god.. too much fat is bad, yes. however, people seem to completely forget that _food_ fat does not equal _body_ fat. sugar is much more impactful.
as a T2 diabeetus I can attest to that
Tier2 diabetus?
Terminator 2
Salivation
I came here for this, was not disappointed.
At Tier 3 you unlock a hat and a cool skin

I still chuckle when I see bags of candy with "FAT FREE" on then. The sugar lobby is part of the reason we're so damn fat.
The anti-fat craze was wildly stupid. Hey, here's a 16 pound bag of sugar, it has 0 fat, so it must be a healthy snack right?! Oh what's that, full calorie soda has 0 fat? Clearly we should be drinking at least 6 sodas per meal.

And they're likely comparing saturated animal fats to trans fats used to cook the donuts. One is much worse for you.
This looks like the 90s when anti-fat was at its peak.
Why that banana weighs as much as six doughnuts.
1 glazed donut has the same amount of fat as 10 glazed donuts.
Whenever I see nutrition charts comparing something to multiple donuts, it just makes me think I should treat myself to donuts more often because they have far less sugar than a can of coke and far less fat than an enormous oval platter of Mexican food.
Glazed donuts for scale.
Take that Europeans/world!
Just teachin me to eat doughnuts…
The FDA recommends no more than 5 glazed donuts of fat a day.
I should be eating more glazed donuts. They’re pretty good for you!
How many glazed donuts are the recommended daily allowance.
yep that's how they measure planets too.
Took over the food pyramid decades ago.
How much fat can be in a Margarita? LOL
My kinda gal!
Same!!!
the kind who always ask the harder questions...
Beware the girl who wants the margarita. After one margarita…
After TWO margaritas...that was a great video
"I lied imma be asleep"
funniest shit i've heard all week, actually made me laugh out loud on that one.
If you drink them until you vomit and shit yourself, it's almost gotta be negative calories.
That's the kind of positive attitude we need around here!
The drinking will continue until morale improves
That’s the power of tequila
Linda Belcher IRL
Omg. Your right!!! Lmao!
Beat me to it :D
How much could a banana cost? 10 dollars?
Solid fucking point. New diet starts tomorrow.
What a gem. I wonder where she is today.
The news cut off her quote. She went on to say..."Every time I drank four of these, one of these bastards popped up." As she pointed to her kid.
What, you guys ***DON'T*** drink liquified fat?
She's one of those ladies that gossip in beauty parlors with mob wives.
MY QUEEN
Me thinking how much sugar could be in a taco
She's been drunk since last Tuesday.
"what we found was pretty grim!" did you find that not enough people are mindlessly racist? because i'm pretty sure hamburgers, pizza, or fried chicken wouldn't do so great on the highly scientific "glazed donut" scale either.
American propaganda is so thinly veiled that it cracks like a glazed donut if you poke it enough
And deflates.
Like a really, really sad donut.
Besides, it’s restaurant food. It’s not going to be healthy
Yeah, that scale implying donuts are bad because they contain fat, lol. I mean, fat is bad too but... What an idiotic metric. Did you know a salad with a little bit of olive oil has way more fat that a big glass of coke cola? And with the old footage quality, i guess this is from the time when fat was attacked as the main reason for obesity with studies finaced by, ding ding ding, sugar companies
Yes this is 100% sponsored by sugar lobbies
if it's sponsored by sugar lobbies they wouldn't be using *glazed* donuts as the metric for shitty food
Yep. This was still the period when they were trying to convince people that fat was terrible. They even had a campaign against eggs.
Since the 50s the sugar industry spent millions and millions funding studies, actual doctors and various campaigns to point the finger of health issues away from sugar and in other directions. The biggest and probably most successful scapegoat was fat. I'd be surprised if this study wasn't funded by them (probably indirectly).

Wait til they do a review at a donut shop!
See also: MSG panic in the 90s.
Some people still insist it's real.
It's big sugar propaganda from the early 2000s they made everything fat free and it tasted like shit so they upped the sugar. Fat isn't bad sugar is.
This is back from when people thought fats were the worst thing you can put in your body Healthy fats are an important part of a diet as long as you don't overdo it
Gotta go back and look - fat doesn’t turn to fat, just energy or passes right through you. Sugar is the actual monster we keep excusing.
Once metabolized, fat turns into knowledge.
[Obligatory “Fat is stored in the balls” joke]
Fat is just piss.
I have a belly full of knowledge. No more calling it a beer belly.
Guess who demonized fat? The sugar industry https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-industry-shifted-blame-to-fat.html
Oh no, now that's just evil.
If you ever wanna *really* dive into this, there's and amazing book called Salt, Sugar, Fat that goes into the politicization of the American diet.

How many calories does en passant burn?
About tree fiddy
Thanks for commenting this that other comment already pissed me off before I saw this.

Corn syrup is so much worse than just regular and natural sugar
There's no outcome based evidence to support that, it's all just sugar
Fat makes you fat. Protein makes you Perceptor. Bumblebee transforms into a Beetle. \*Autobots roll out

Ya. I'd be more concerned with the sugar content of 12 donuts.
Cool hack: since the Mexican pizza is half Mexican and half Italian, it’s only 50% of the calories
I’m listening
Shh, let him cook.
How many glazed donuts is that?
Half as many... You know.
This is back when fat was the devil. Also MSG. But Ritz crackers, Fruity Pebbles, and buckets of fruit juice were good for you because they were “fortified with essential nutrients.”
like essential oils
Essential fats?
Yeah, this was back when you could basically dissolve a multi-vitamin in a coke and call it health food.
Fuck! Doughnuts are healthier than I originally thought!
That's my take away from this. 8 donuts are as healthy as a salad.
Im gonna eat 16 so its like im eating 2 salads!
This news segment is so misleading
On multiple counts. The Taco salad is a Tex-Mex dish. It was invented in Texas in the 60s.
Sshh don’t wake up the idiots
Literally everything they showed was Tex-Mex.
Chimichangas are also Tex-Mex. Only chili rellenos are authentic
be quiet and enjoy a nice high calorie low fat glazed donut.
Well, this definitely opened my eyes. Next time I'm skipping the chile relleno platter and having a healthy serving of 7 glazed donuts instead.
Damn I miss Mexican food, both authentic and americanized.
Me too. It's too bad they went extinct 😔
Ya once we ran out of mammoth and dodo bird, it really didn't have the same umami taste.
so go out and get some lol
I live in rural SEA these days the nearest decent Mexican is 4 hours away, and it's just ok.
Oh man, it must be rough without tacos. 🌮 Sending hugs 🫂
It’s a damn shame most of the world hasn’t had good Mexican food
I really don't know why Mexicans are not exploiting this opportunity.
Ah the 1990s, when nutrition science was fucking stupid. And racist apparently.
And then Taco Bell said "Hmm..." And the Cinnamon Twist was born. Souls were sold.
I miss the Choco Taco.
That margarita shit got me lol
Back when there was a smoking section
This was back in the 90s when people thought dietary fat made you fat, instead of just plain old over eating.
This is some racist ill informed shit.
Yeah, Mexican food for Americans should be it's own category of food.
Texmex
Would that work for Mexican food outside of Texas? Cause I live in California and I feel texmex is it's own type of food separate from what you would find in my local Mexican Food for Americans places.
The elephant dick burrito probably isn’t helping with the hypertension.
except its not fat that fucks you over, its sugar
Both.

"How much fat can be in a margarita?" I love this lady! Lol
"amount of fat in a glazed donut" ok but what about the carbs? do donuts even have "fat" in them? they are all carbs and sugar are they not?
When you take into account the shortening in the dough and the deep fat fry bath they have to take. There's some. But you should be way more worried about all the sugar.
So what I’m getting is that if you want a healthy snack ,grab a glazed donut?
But no more than 8. You might has well have a Chimichanga Platter!
America... Classified sth. As unhealthy? You know some burger chain owning politician is behind it
As someone that lived half my life in San Antonio, we absolutely do not give a fuck about how unhealthy the food is. Shout out for the vintage KENS5 footage.
Did you guys see how huge that burrito was in the beginning?!
When demonizing fat was still a thing....what a blight in our history
Gotcha... Healthier to eat 5 doughnuts.
I don’t eat glazed donuts. Can someone convert 11 glazed donuts to ding dongs?
Maybe the Europeans can help out. Are ding dongs metric?
Bud Light Presents - Real Men of Genius: [Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWq2AVlrsY). 🎶*I don’t see no lettuce*🎵
The examples they used are all fried, they literally cherry picked the worst examples
When people had so much fear of fat due to Sugar companies propaganda 🤣
“How much fat could be in a Margarita?”
Donuts would have WAY more sugar content, no? Fat on its own isn’t so bad as long as you exercise.
Am I having an oversensitive moment of this was low key racist?
Donuts are not that high in fat.. it's sugar that is then metabolized into fat.. and the worst kind. Education is everything in a world full if liars.
"as much fat as twelve donuts" Further proof that Americans will use anything other than the metric system as a means of measurement
What a stupid metric. The amount of fat in a glazed donut is small because it’s almost entirely carbs. Of course a meal that consists of meat and cheese is going to be high in fat. But eating fat doesn’t make you fat. If you wanted to be honest, you’d just compare calories. And even then, that ignores the stuff in Mexican food like protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals that you’re not going to get from a fucking donut.
I mean if you actually eat some straight up food without all the added crap, steam up some black beans, peppers, onion, etc. and throw in in a wheat taco wrap with maybe some homemade guacamole, tomatoes, and diced lettuce, you are fine. The problem is people are eating refried beans, a crazy amount of cheese, sour cream, and things like steak in their "mexican food" in America.
You leave my Tex-mex out of it
Everything in America is measured by either doughnuts or hamburgers.
Some people eat donuts everyday but not Mexican food
Doughnuts? what a dumb comparison. thats like me saying 3oz of salmon has 20grams of fat but a 3oz doughnut only has 11 grams of fat. Its not the total fat amt but the quality of fat e.g., Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids but Doughnuts typically contain unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats
I now only eat the recommended 10-13 American glazed donuts a day so I can track my macros properly
1 chilli releno platter: 280 calories. 1 glazed donut medium size: 190/300 calories. Eating 10 of those donuts grants you a whopping 1900/3000 calories, covering your total calorie intake for the entire day:) Also, spicy food is pretty healthy for your metabolism^^
Did you know that almost everything we eat has dihydrogen monoxide in it!!?!?! The government doesn't want you to know that!!
They say glazed doughnut, I see a doughy zero.
Well whatever.....bring on the Mexican food!!
I’d rather eat a beef chimichanga plate all day any day over 10 glazed doughnuts. Trippin…
This was during the "fat is bad" craze, I take it.
TEN GLASSED DONUTS!
Are they Krispy Kreme donuts though?
Legit thought that was Kevin Butler about to announce the ps vita2
TIL that glazed donuts are healthier than I thought.
Good thing it’s not the fat content of food killing Americans! It’s the high sugar, low protein/fiber
LOL back in the days when idiot nutritionists thought it was fat which made us fat.
Mmmm Mexican food AND donuts! Good idea!
Wtf is 8 glazed donuts as a unit 🤡
Sadly, the conclusion most people will take from this is they should just eat donuts.
I'm not worried about fats as much as sugar..
