  Haven't been to McDonald's for 6 years, so eh.
  
  But if you think eating out of the can is healthy...

  Sure, canned tuna won't be as good as fresh tuna, but you need to take a step back and remember what the context here is... lawl

  ._. Eating Carbs doesn't make you fat, it's when you consume more calories that you burn which can make you fat. Carbs are our main and best source of energy and our brain can only run on the glucose derived from these carbs. (Hell if I know why, I'm going to ask my teacher) Having a protein only diet is a waste as that protein would better be served maintaining or bodies and for fats...eh they provide more Calories per gram than Proteins or Carbs but eat too much and they'll just be turned into body fat.
  
  Anyway it all depends on the Carbs really, fruits and vegetables and starchy foods (whole wheat) are good for you and have vitamins but just eating things with no nutritional benefit is just bad :D
  
  This has been Lan's nutrient rant, next week we'll talk about why proper diet and exercise is the key to a long life.

  Stepping back, I see disparaging of processed food by calling it "not real" and attempts to promote processed food.

  Well, yeah. I was going off the assumption that the people in question had little time to actually exercise properly, but I probably should have said that.

  Point, if they don't have the energy to make meals then they certainly wouldn't have either the time or energy to exercise :/

  Just boiling pasta isn't too labor-intensive compared to making a more varied meal, or at least based on my experience. Set the stove on high, throw in the pasta, take it out, sprinkle with some parmesan cheese and marinara sauce.

  Yet there are still some people who claim they don't have the energy for it. Baffles the mind.
