    Peas and carrots are too full of sugar. I mean, they’re better than chips or candy bars by a long shot, but minimizing them or mixing peas and carrots with other less sugary veg is a better idea.

    Edit: triggered people who somehow think I said you can’t eat peas and carrots. Whatever. SJW away.

      Good grief, can we stop shaming people for eating the “wrong types of vegetables” as if that’s even a thing? Just be happy they’re eating any at all.

        No. Health obsessed people are mostly obsessed with feeling superior to others based on diet, so they won’t ever stop shaming anyone who eats differently than they do. They are projecting their insecurity with themselves, and they are so insecure eating some peas might as well by drinking 2L of soda per day, because they are unable to contextualize anything appropriately, and just panic over every slightly ‘wrong’ thing someone else does.

        Same with politics or a hobby, or anything else people seek personal validation in. Anyone who doesn’t do it exactly the way they do it is invalidating them and it hurts them and they lash out.

      You do understand all sugar isn’t created equal, yes? And sugar interacts with other components of a given food? Carbs don’t exist in a vacuum. You’re comparing actual whole foods to literal trash.

      Please educate yourself and also stop spreading bullshit.

      Dude, let’em eat vegetables they like. They can venture further without the gatekeeping; otherwise, they’ll say “why bother.”
