27 Oct 2014 "A Healthy Snack!" (self.fatpeoplehate) submitted 3 days ago by lizeah While browsing Facebook while I should be doing homework, I come across this shared 'heathy' recipe. -_- Ingredients as follows: "Healthy Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups Makes 8 1/4 cup butter 3/4 cup peanut butter 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips 1/4 cup milk Sea salt" Wow, thanks Facebook! That sure sounds balanced and healthy! ----- NerdyHippo To be fair, if you ever looked at fitblr on tumblr you will find, that every fit blog glorifies peanutbutter. All sorts of in all quantities. Its super uber healthy to eat an apple with 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Basically everything gets healthy if you add peanut butter, everything. I agree healthy fats etc. in MODERATION. --- mitty_moo i saw nutella-filled strawberries being called healthy. or that using honey while baking is somehow 'healthier' than regular sugar. Sugar is sugar is sugar. --- Patrol_Border That's annoying. I like to make my own peanut butter cups (crunchy peanut butter and dark chocolate is yum) but I never delude myself in thinking they are healthy. Maybe they have less processed ingredients but they still contain calories and must be factored into your daily budget [home made stuff is more satisfying. fake "food" isn't. old knowledge.] --- lizeah[S] Yes, exactly! I could swap some ingredients and make it a little bit better. Like maybe PB2 instead of peanut butter and stevia instead of sugar, unless if it would seriously mess with the moisture of the treat. Milk could easily be swapped for original almond milk & butt probably could be swapped with greek yogurt to some extent. --- Miss_Meltymel This makes me so mad. The terms we use for food is just plain annouying and wrong. What they probably mean is healthier then store brought, its still not "healthy" tho. Food producers are the worse, like at my bfs I had some of his "plain" greek yoghurt, it was bloody super sweetened and when I mentioned he got the sweetened version by mistake he said "but it said all natural" oh my dear sweet man, sugar is natural, thats the trap. Almost every meal I have to snap some healthy logic out of him, like "its canola oil tho, thats good right" honey, oil is oil, the key is moderation. And then there was the discussion about our childrens teeth funnily enough right as he said his son eats hardly any sugar, I was saying his son eats a lot of sugar compared to mine, ha, I found that interesting... (for what its worth, neither him or the child are fat, I was very fussy about the size and fitness of my dating choices, id say hes lucky hes over 6ft and lifts and runs tho or we would be in mega trouble...) === rcv jan 2021 okay yeah, this one's boring. my QC will improve.
