100 Calories of Sh*t


"My mom let's me grab five 100 calorie packs after school since they are healthy"

It all began as I was sitting in the break area of the Exercise Science department between classes the other day. I was studying up for my next class when I look up to see this girl eating a 100 calorie pack of Oreos. Now, it's not like it was the first time I had ever saw those little deceitful packs, but it was the first time I had put much thought into them. Basically these little packs are a portion control of junk food. They have no nutritional value. They are still sh*t. So basically some may justify it by only eating a little sh*t food, not a lot of sh*t. Sh*t is still sh*t. Most people, especially those who are over-fat, can’t eat “just a little” of a unhealthy tasty food. No fat person eats a single Oreo, thinks to themselves, “Man that cookie was good and plenty for today”, they eat the whole row of Oreo’s. Nutrition facts should be per row of cookies, not the small 1 or 2 cookie serving size they list.

Just remember as a clearly not sober Paula Abdul would say on American Idol, "It is what it is". Sh*t food is still sh*t food. It will shorten your life, wreck your health and make you an ugly naked person. It doesn’t make it healthy just because its served in a little pouch that says 100 Calories on it. Wouldn’t you rather eat a bunch of healthy, nutritious, great tasting food? You can. Eating healthy seems to have a stigma about it and being bland and bad tasting. That’s way wrong. It can be very, very good. And another plus is you’ll live longer, be healthier, and look better naked.
