so true…
awesome. short & sweet wisdom
This couldn't be TRUE! That's why We've invented a way to cook with LITTLE TIME
do you all here see the carrot on the left ?
I'd love to, but I wish I knew how to cook better
Happy Valentines Day! Make sure to be aware of what is on Your plate during Your lovely date in a restaurant 🙂
This is wise advice.
Excellent!
It's true for me.
or control yourself and pay for french fries in this case only once few days .
wtf making home made frenchfries takes me about 40mins, i cut them up (without peeling) sprinkle oil on them and some salt. and in the oven and after 40mins you should have perfectly good frenchfries
woaw woaw woaw, eat anything i want? lmao does this guy understand that 99% of the food people cook for themselves are processed foods made by food corporations? that is terrible advice! OH hey im going to go eat a whole cake because i baked it myself
Ummm… Calories 666? 😕
America has ruined the world more with their spreading of fast food than anything their military has ever done. 🙁
Fries every 6 weeks? I make my own fries whenever I want. It's never too much work for me. I can't stand fast-food fries, they make me sick.
Too much work for making french fries? LOOOOOOOOOOL lazy level 9999999

Keep telling my hubby this but he Won't listen
I hardly buy the chit in supermarkets I read and read the labels
Who makes gravy or even stock with sugar!❣
Great video
Simple cake? 5 minutes putting stuff together, an hour of cooking. Loads of delicious carbs with very little work.
You just eat food made with love..with better intention;)
You make the claim that better nutrition is found in people who more often cook for themselves/have other people cook for them rather than corporation-style cooking. I totally believe that could be true. However, I'd love to see where this claim came from. Is there a research paper or something of that ilk I can read that's relevant to this?
And not to mention the cacophony of random chemicals added to the factory foods that act as texture modifiers and preservatives! We have no idea how they affect the body exactly, but as long as they don't show any visible short-term effects, they are used!
eat anything you want as long as you watch calories and nutrients, that's it
This Man brings it to the Point! very good!
Cupcakes however aren't too hard to make, lots of sugar for everyone
But, but, I don't know how to make chocolate, only use it 🙁
Mmmm brownies… pardon me I need to go cook.
Totally agree!

My grandmother's pancakes are really addictive.. because they taste good. I bet you guys if I eat as many of them as she'll bake I'll become as obese and unhealthy as they come.
