A bit of background from BuzzFeed.
study shows that the sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease — blaming saturated fat, instead
Born in '71 for context.
Fat bad!
Sugar fine, just don’t go nuts. Bad for your teeth.
Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.
Also, all y’all are fat as fuck. It’s truly freaky what we kids considered “fat” vs. what people today call “fat”.
Pro tip: Exercise won’t drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it’s OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.
I’m in your cohort.
Every time I eat fatty meat, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna kill me. And part of me thinks it’s perfectly fine to throw back sugary drinks and treats.
Those fuckers have a lot to answer for.
Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.
A legacy that continues today
Its all the MSG!!!¡¡¡¡111!!!
I love all the candy that is “fat free.”
Sugar fills that hollow feeling in my soul, and isn’t that the important thing?
Literal propaganda
Unless the people who wrote that really thought it was true 🤔
Of course they didn’t. Do you think the body metabolizing sugar like any other calorie source and storing it as fat is new information that was completely unknown to science in the 1960s? You think they knew how to split the atom and go to the moon, but not the single most basic fact about nutrition?
Have you ever smoked cigarettes? You know something’s up in the first month—you can feel them “taking your breath away”.
I think you meant to respond to Valmond. not me.
Hahahaaaaaha…
…hahahaaaahaa. Nope. They knew
Nope. Still propaganda. It has a negative cultural connotation but any form of persuasive rhetoric fits the basic definition of propaganda.
Yeah wild times, those cigarette commercials too man, “doesn’t take your breath away” with two tennisplayer girls smoking…
I’ve got something that could fill her hollow feeling too.
Only 18 calories per teaspoon and it’s all energy
Yeah, that’s what calories are measuring…
the false implication being that calories of energy are somehow better than “calories of fat”. Though since they don’t say it out loud they can mislead people without technically lying.
Now, it turns out, bacon is actually good for you in moderation. Turns out it has the same Omega 3 fat found in healthy fish and other foods, so now they’re saying, a healthy diet should include bacon. And sugar, well - a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, so we do need some sugar in our diet also.
Its fat time right now, gonna eat a whole frozen pizza
Don’t forget to cover it in sugar for maximum energy.
ive heard they’re even better cooked
Nah
Cooked with sugar for a glaze, deep fried, and then topped with sugar while cooling are my Achilles’ heels ngl

You look weak. I recommend you drink some 36% cream. It will give you energy and you won’t need that exercise nonsense.
This but with eggs.
Got milk?
Or the Dutch “Melk is goed voor elk” (“milk is good for anyone”). Same vibe, different era.Well, milk IS good.
It really isn’t, though.
It really is though.

Yes really.
almost every “milk is good for you” campaign has been government-funded marketing for people to consume the surplus stock of overproduced dairy post-war. human milk is good for human babies, animal milk is good for animal babies.
And cheese. You forgot cheese.
Oh but cheese is delicious
this is true

Joke’s on them it’s always fat time in my house.
The cure for fat time … Fatter time! … It’ll be a race to determine how fast you can get fatter or how rapid we can make your heart pump

If sugar can fill that hollow feeling, I’m all for it!
The expression on her face no less
And when I’m about to be overcome with feelings of existential dread and rage at the patriarchy, I just reach for my box of Bisquick™
Wait this was supposed to be rhetorical needling at ancient propaganda and now you are personally attacking me and my little box 🧐
