Alright, let’s talk about this “You Are What You Eat” thing on Netflix. I watched it, and lemme tell ya, it got me thinkin’. They say you are what you eat, and well, that’s kinda true, ain’t it? I mean, if ya eat garbage, you gonna feel like garbage. But this show, it’s kinda… pushy, ya know?
They make it sound like eatin’ anything but plants is gonna kill ya dead. That ain’t right. My grandma, she ate meat her whole life, lived to be ninety-somethin’! And strong as an ox, she was. This show, it’s all about vegan this and vegan that. Seems kinda one-sided if ya ask me. Makes me wonder who’s payin’ for all this, ya know? Somebody’s gotta be bankrollin’ this vegan message.
They got these twins on there, one eatin’ vegan, the other eatin’… well, whatever. And they show all these charts and graphs, makin’ it look like the vegan twin is super healthy and the other one’s about to keel over. But I don’t buy it. Life ain’t that simple. Sometimes you eat good, sometimes you eat… not so good. That’s just how it is.
- The Bias Problem
The big problem with this “You Are What You Eat” show is that it ain’t fair. It’s like they already made up their minds before they even started filmin’. They don’t show ya the other side, ya know? They don’t talk to no doctors or scientists who say maybe meat ain’t so bad. They just show ya all the scary stuff about eatin’ animals and call it a day. It’s like they’re tryin’ to scare ya into bein’ vegan.
And this food fear-mongering, that’s just wrong. They make it sound like if you eat a burger, you’re gonna get sick and die. Come on now, that’s just silly. Everything in moderation, that’s what I always say. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, it ain’t gonna hurt ya. My grandpa, he loved his bacon, and he lived a long, happy life.
- It Ain’t Just About Food
This show, it makes it sound like all your health problems are ‘cause of what you eat. But that ain’t the whole story. There’s more to it than that. You gotta think about your family history, how much you move around, and even how much stress you got in your life. All that stuff matters, not just what’s on your plate.
I mean, you could eat nothin’ but kale and still be sick if you’re stressed out all the time or if your family’s got a history of heart problems. It’s common sense, ain’t it? They don’t tell you that on the show, though. They just want you to believe that if you eat vegan, you’ll be healthy forever. And that’s just not true.
And another thing, they don’t talk about how expensive all that vegan food can be. Fruits and vegetables, they ain’t cheap, ya know? Especially if you want the good stuff, the organic stuff. Not everyone can afford to eat like that. Some folks gotta eat what they can afford, and sometimes that means eatin’ meat. It’s about survival, not some fancy diet.
- Healthy Eating is Personal
Look, eatin’ healthy, it’s different for everyone. What works for one person might not work for another. You gotta figure out what makes your body feel good and what keeps you strong. Don’t let some TV show tell you what to eat. Do your own research, talk to your doctor, and listen to your body.
This “You Are What You Eat” show, it’s got a point, sure. Eatin’ healthy is important. But it ain’t the only thing that matters, and it ain’t one-size-fits-all. And it definitely ain’t just about bein’ vegan. There’s lots of ways to eat healthy, and you gotta find the way that works best for you. Don’t let nobody scare you into eatin’ somethin’ you don’t wanna eat.
The Takeaway: Watch the show if you want, but take it with a grain of salt. Don’t believe everything you see on TV. Do your own thinkin’ and figure out what’s best for you and your family. Eatin’ healthy is important, but it’s gotta be somethin’ you can stick with, somethin’ that makes you feel good, not somethin’ that makes you feel scared or guilty. And remember, life’s too short to eat food you don’t like. So, have that piece of cake every now and then, it won’t kill ya.
