First off, I'd like to say that I'm no body builder, and just a guy who wants to stay healthy.
However, it has come to my attention that in the past few years there have been various media marketing schemes that you may have seen on television or on the web. Health is now, more than ever becoming more important, thus the businesses and advertisers use this to their advantage to sell their product. I could name a big list of them, this includes subway (high carbs, high fat [if you order the fatty meats]), frozen yoghurt (high sugar), etc, etc. I'm sure you know someone who think they're on a diet, but the food they put in their mouths are actually foods that the media has advertised as healthy. You try to tell them otherwise, but they don't believe you. This is a bit off topic, but this is a video I made of how I feel about this current situation.

No food is unhealthy, what is umhealthy is eating excess of your calorific requirements.
I suggest you stop trying to be healthy and become a lifter, no point been alive if you don't lift. So hurry up clean out that vagina and get under a barbell.
How many fights have you done?I put my energy into sports like Muay Thai and Rock Climbing. We got different goals =).
Yes, it is true that you eating more than your calorie requirements is how you can be unhealthy. However, isn't one of the things you have to do in 'bulking' is to take in more calories on top of the training you do in one day?
If what you say is true, wouldn't that be unhealthy? However, it isn't!
Say you eat deep fried foods and kept under your 'calorie' requirements, sure you won't gain weight, but it comes with other complications such as high cholesterol and heart disease.
You are what you eat as they say.

If its too good (or tasty) to be true ; it probably is! If its low carb, its most likely loaded with sugars, and if its low sugar the reverse is normally true.

@Bazza - I haven't been in any fights. However, I've come home bruised and battered on days when we do sparring. They put 'overs' and padding on you, but let's just say, it's pretty much like getting hit with a metal baseball bat with foam padding around it.
So you're not actually a fighter then.
I'd rep that.
I'd rep that.
No food is unhealthy, LOL. Got any proof for this please.
What about degenerative diseases as you get older. I'd love to eat red meat every meal and KFC for dessert but something tells me I wouldn't be lifting in 10 years, wouldn't even be getting out of the hospital bed.
I'll just ring 0ni for some studies, vids and citations but I suspect my cardiovascular system might be so stuffed I wouldn't be able to stress my heart without risking a heart attack or stroke and aren't a lot of degenerative diseases related to bad diet. I know numerous studies have shown the less calories people eat the longer they tend to live (and it'll feel that way to lol.)Why wouldn't you be lifting. Lol. Got any proof for this please.

@Test E - Thanks man! I thought I'd post this video on these forums because you guys are body builders, thus it would spark a lot conversations. And it sure has! I love the different opinions that have come out of this discussion.
@Brick - I value your opinion, and if that's what you live by. Fair enough =). One thing I dislike is people who live by other opinions to fit in, but not their own.
