Booked a short holiday and cruise for next month. My brain: “maybe I should work on my health and fitness leading up to that!” Also my brain: “eat fried potato. Now.”
… it was delicious.
A fried potato isn't that bad. It's got a lot of kilojoules if you're counting, but it is also fairly unprocessed. Lots of supposedly diet snacks are actually worse for you than a fried potato.
Processed food is the devil. And it's everywhere in our diet. If the ingredients list on a snack is more than two lines long and has a bunch of numbers, it is worse for you than a fried potato.
I've often wondered how much different diets and snack food would look if instead of the fat free craze, there was a sugar free craze. Obviously not everything can (or should) be sugar free, but if there was much more emphasis put on low/no sugar foods, people would be healthier overall now. Same story with plastics
