More common survival foods and their impacts. Process snacks. This would include chips, pretzels, cookies, candy bars. They offer immediate gratification, high and refined carbohydrates, sodium, and unhealthy fats. And not just a snack. Like everything you're day, whatever name kind of snack. And I'm like, to me, it's a snack. What else is this? I guess people eat like apples. Yeah, bananas. Fruit, string cheese.

0:38.6

It's string cheese healthy, or is it just one of those? It's not unhealthy. You know what I mean? I think in general it's just not terribly unhealthy for you. Okay. It's not doing you any good, but it ain't doing any of the arm. I forgot that people just eat fruit. It's like string cheese or like those little squares of like the Tillamook.

0:40.2

Oh, those, man.

0:38.6

They're so good. but it ain't doing any arm. I forgot that people just eat fruit. But that's like string cheese or like those little squares, like the Tillamook.

0:55.1

Oh, those, man, they're so good. Yeah. Is cheese, is that, is that good or bad for you? Cheat ultimately. That's what we're saying. But I think if you try to eat more protein, like obviously you don't want to just survive on cheese, that would be bad. but I just think as far as the realm of snacks go,

0:56.7

I think it's string cheese and the worst thing at the way. They say the convenient breakfast items, like Pop-Tarts, cereals that are full of sugar and muffins are popular for being fast, but are packaged with processed flour, corn syrup, and unhealthy oils. But that's why they taste so good. Look, cinnamon toast crunch is not healthy. Yeah. I don't even eating something. even eating something. Typically, I eat it because I just got buzzed up. But still, man, it is so delicious. But the milk's healthy. There's something. Yeah. I typically don't go big on breakfast things like that. Really? I will do something like a bagel, which I think is worse. Yeah, bagels, I've heard a terrible thing. I think they're the worst thing you can possibly have in the morning.

1:30.3

Our fast food and frozen meals, burgers, fries, frozen pizza, box macaroni, are consumed

1:35.2

for speed, often contributing to excessive salt and unhealthy fat consumption.

1:40.7

I have lived off those for years being single.

1:43.3

Well, sure.

1:44.1

Just based on the simplicity of them. And pop pies. Yeah, you're a big pot pie guy. I would go to Pop-Tarts. I never even toasted them. It was open a thing. Eat it. They're good. By the way, most people here on YouTube are saying, cheese is not good for you. In general. Right. Yeah. But still delicious.

2:01.8

Yeah.

2:02.0

I'm just saying it's compared to chips and pretzels. Dolly to shrink cheese. It's not really how we do it, though. Yeah. Like, well, look, I'm still going to snack. It's not going to be healthy. It's just not as unhealthy as the other things of my pantry. Right. But obviously, if you have high cholesterol or something, you don't want to be eating that much cheese.

2:16.6

Sure.

2:17.5

Oh, it's cheese contribute to cholesterol?

2:19.5

I think so.

2:21.4

Oh. Right. Obviously, if you have high cholesterol or something, you don't want to be eating that much cheese. Sure. Oh, it's cheese contribute to cholesterol? I think so. I don't know. Well, then I shouldn't be eating that. Healthy misconceptions on common survival food. That would include granola bars. Yep. Flavored yogurts and veggie chips are often packed with hidden sugars and sodium. But why would they think veggie chips are... So why would you eat veggie chips if you could just get regular potato chips because you're doing that in the first place? Because they say veggies. So you think about it. But potatoes are not unhealthy by their nature. We just recognize that potato chips are, right? Because we fry them and add salt. So it's like you take a veggie chip

2:50.8

and it's like vegetables are not unhealthy. But you fry an oil and out a bunch of salt. It's kind of

2:56.8

the same thing. Yep. You're just the annoying version of a snack or we're eating veggie chips.

3:01.4

Well, those ranch veggie straws. Pretty damn good. Yeah. I was about to bring up veggie
