    Caloric surplus makes you overweight regardless of the macro source.

    You keep up these lazy propaganda post and I’m going to have to schedule a beef thunderdome meeting.

    Let’s be honest, eggs are not crazy expensive or bread or many items for that matter more than previous …if we can pinpoint what is expensive ….it is beef . Cows are at a lowest point in supply plus the markets are not conducive and demand has not wavered…eat more chikin

    I think tariffs and the fact the agricultural industry is very globally connected that has to withstand various supply shocks from floods, draughts, and war is vastly more responsible for grocery prices than debt issues.

    MAGA campaigned on lowering the prices, but not only are they adding to the deficit like the Dems MAGA also enacted inflationary tariffs. Seems like that tariff revenue will go towards bailouts for farmers (again) and their massive deportation program.

    We will see how back to school shopping and then Christmas shopping goes

    Grocery is so expensive that the MAGAs might have to do a round of redistricting every Sunday

    1. Tariffs have not led to inflation at all - numerous recent articles have been shared on this.

    2. The US had a budget SURPLUS in June.

    All of the economists have been dead wrong. Trump has been right.

    GOOD DAY

    Bring it. Unless they all die of heart disease first.

    Being overweight is not the only way of being unhealthy.

    thanks big guy, I appreciate the concern. But I've gotten my A1c down from 8 to 5.9 through diet and exercise and lost 50 pounds, I don't think Clutchfans is where I'll be doing any serious diet research for the foreseeable future. The original comment about carbs was meant to be a bit of a joke anyway. Everybody's body and everyone's nutritional requirements are different, but processed carbs are still pretty much the enemy. ;)

    Trump Is a Degrowther
    What else do you call a strategy designed to raise prices and lower productivity?

    By Annie Lowrey



    In the past few weeks, Americans learned that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. canceled half a billion dollars of government investment in the development of mRNA vaccines, Las Vegas saw a 7 percent drop in visitors, residential electricity prices shot up by an average of 6.5 percent, the number of housing permits issued hit their lowest point in half a decade, employers quit adding workers, the manufacturing sector shrank, and inflation rose.

    I again defy anybody to claim they voted for higher electricity prices, less housing & less jobs.

    OK, these are the prices I got straight off of the HEB website June 9th and today.

    The first column in JUN 09
    The second column is AUG 09

    Also, a large mango went from 98 cents to $1.50 and a jumbo mango went from $1.98 to $2.50.

    It's so typical for Trump to continuously lie about it though, like last week when he said...

    “You know, if you think, inflation, I’ve already taken care of.” “Prices are way down for everything — groceries, everything.”

    Hey man, my post wasn’t to discredit any of your progress by any means {seriously, congratulations} … I’m not sure it can even be interpreted as nutritional advice.

    I was just combating that specific quote, I didn’t even know it was a joke, don’t ha ha me okay guy
