can't please everybody :)



I think specifying meat vs other sources is more of an inaccuracy thing and can be corrected easily without involving interpretations.

"eats healthy" on the other hand is an exercise in assigning values to one way of eating over another. If you talk to a keto guy and you tell him you "eat healthy too" he might assume you're doing keto too. Talk to a vegan they probably think you're vegan as well etc. :)


Well, we know they don't eat like a pig, stocking their mouth with burgers and fries and deep fried mars bars. That's something...


A burger can be healthy.


Stocking one's mouth with many, though, not.


I would actually argue that "stuffing my face" with 2 A&W lettuce wrapped uncle burgers (sandwich only, no combo) is healthier than having one regular mama burger with fries, lots of ketchup and a half litre of coke (or whatever sugary drink you prefer).

(This is the keto vs. regular diet example from before and showcases exactly what I was saying. You attribute value to one particular diet, while I might have another, ideal, healthy diet in my mind. After said 2 uncle burgers I don't have to eat again for a _very_ long time. On keto I've gone without eating for a day easy without feeling hundry, while I'd want an early dinner after the other option mentioned for lunch because my stomach is aching for more food)


Eating too much of any food is usually unhealthy due to the excess calories. Burgers aren't especially bad or good in that regard.
