Pineapples Suck!!!

I love pineapples. They have the best flavor ever, especially in combo with coconuts. Anyway, as it turns out pineapples are not that nutrient dense at all. They give you 50 calories for 4oz. ( which is like a couple of slices.) The only notable nutrient is vitamin C, but still only at 50% d.v. which is pathetic compared to many other fruits. So 50 kcal/2000 kcal which is 2.5 percent of our daily value for caloric intake means that it is nutrient dense for vitamin C. All of the other important things in pineapples are less than 2.5% d.v.

• 1 g of protein
• 10 g of sugar
• Total Carbohydrate value 13g, around 4% d.v.

As far as being a health food, pineapples suck. Eat these if you want to be hungry in 30 min. haha

Food and overeating

I don't like to overeat. It makes me sleepy and unproductive. If I have to get something done, Ill just eat a light meal or something small to tide me over until the task is complete. Being hungry is not that big of a deal to me; its comparable to being tired after work. If A=B and not eating makes me hungry then o-well.Whoop-dee-doo.


I dont like being hungry to the point of being weak. Thats a problem then. Like if its been 24 hours and all I have had is coffee, then my body and me dont get along very well. But thats just me.

I grew up not having meals at home with the family, it was always just grab-n-go, and eat if it is there. Kinda competitive with three other brothers. No importance was ever placed on mealtimes for me, and I still think that making all that food and being so ritualistic about it all seems like a huge waste of time. I have HOMEWORK AND WORK that eat my time, so 4 hours a day revolving around food with its preparation and consumption is not my bag baby.

What is my bag is me digging in the fridge and grabbing an apple or an orange, and leaving. I never overeat like this, the only time I do seems like when I sit down and have a boring meal. If I got stuff to do, and its a weekday, I need to get to gettin and not be getting fatter by overeating. YA I SAID IT.

Nutritional Information

What happens when a persons diet frequently comes from foods that don't have nutritional information stamped on the side of it?

It is something to think about, although I (as well as most others) are not too terribly concerned about the fact that foods that don't are good for you anyway.  That's me holding two oranges and also standing in front of a grapefruit tree in Sun City West, AZ. I wasn't thinking about how many calories from fat are in these oranges or how much jiggle they'd give my arms. Those oranges were delicious.

So what kind of information do we look for when we are looking at the nutritional label found on the packaging of so many labels? Mostly calories, sodium and sugars. That's pretty much the only things that I am concerned with. But who gets to write that stuff anyway. Believe it or not,  good ol' governmental employees in the FDA ( Food and Drug Administration). I would like to think that they're accurate, but hey, who is keeping them accountable?

If you do want to know about fresh foods and their dietary content, you can get the governments opinion  on what these foods have in them: fda.gov

Well Im FRESH out of things to talk about for today. (Pun intended)
How about some love in the form of comments OK?
