If we only eat and drink that which is most healthy we would be living on a caveman diet.

No thanks. I'll just continue to regulate my overall sugar and calorie intake and keep enjoying the stuff that makes life worth living in a responsible manner. I drink mostly water, but I do have a can of cola when I have a burger or pizza. BTW, I make my own burger patties with 50/50 lean beef and zucchini and make my own low fat pizza from scratch at full size and only 150 calories a slice.

I don't need Sugar Nazi nutritionists to tell me sugar is bad. I know too much sugar is bad so I don't consume too much sugar. It's common sense. Anyone who drinks more than a few cans of soda a week should know better.

97% lean beef is much better XD

I do use 97% lean beef, but then I mix it 50/50 with minced zuchini. A quater pound patter ends up with only about 100 -110 calories and so little fat that I don't bother keeping track of it. I cook it with a little salt and pepper and put it on a toasted whole wheat bun with light mayo, mustard and a little ketchup and top it off with lettuce and pickles. Sometimes I'll feel like a cheeseburger and add a slice of Kraft's new fat free swiss singles.

I don't feel guilting about enjoying a 150cal can of Coke with my 300cal low fat Burger and my 150 cal super low fat baked fries, which I cut and bake myself. The whole meal comes out to about 600 calories which is about as much as a Whooper is all by itself without a soda and fries.
