  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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?

  4. 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!

  5. 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.
