Sorry my post wasn't specifically directed as you, as I have no idea what your situation is
I was just saying that, in general, a lot of north americans have it drilled in their head that cooking is healthy, so no matter what they eat at home its going to be good for them. As a result, many eat way too big portions and fill their foods with buttery, oily shit that keeps them overweight. Yeah, its better then fastfood, much better then fastfood, but as you get older and your metabolism slows down..its going to start taking a toll.
Someone mentioned earlier about "adding 10 years to your life"...well for me, it's not that I want to add 10 years to my life, but that I want to make the last 10 years of my life that much more enjoyable....I don't want to be sitting around in a room dependant on others to serve my fucked up body...
