Do you have yearnings for foods that you suspect are not healthy?

Asked by faye (17857points) December 30th, 2009

I asked because I want CheeseWhiz right now. I also like those canned meatballs in gravy with white bread and butter. I even like fried spam. Do you have any yearnings? And do you give in to them?

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Even if it is, we don’t care. That’s damn awesome cheese. :)

I just discovered white chedar horse radish cheese. Nom nom!!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh YEAH That oscar meyer precooked bacon is to die for!!! I think they must spike it with something addictive because it isure the hell IS!! I can eat four or five boxes at one time. My husband is always nagging me about it not being good for me!

AstroChuck's avatar

No suspicion here. I’m without doubt that deep-fried battered asparagus heaped with parmesan cheese is unhealthy.

faye's avatar

Hmmm, I have an asparagus bed. I I’ll try that next spring.

holden's avatar

Leave it to Americans to take a perfectly healthy green vegetable like asparagus and de-healthify it.

AstroChuck's avatar

@holden- I love asparagus anyway you can cook it. Healthy or not.

holden's avatar

I likes it crisp with peanut sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmpeanut sauce.

Judi's avatar

@AstroChuck , I just don’t like the way it makes your pee smell.

faye's avatar

Don’t you pee in privacy? Use Febreeze for the next guy when you’re done.

Judi's avatar

@faye I don’t want to smell it myself!

faye's avatar

OH. My love for asparagus would outweigh that though. Use the Febreeze before you?

holden's avatar

My dad, who spent the majority of his early life eating only canned vegetables, called urgent care once because he was concerned about the inexplicable smell of his urine.

AstroChuck's avatar

@Judi- How do you know how my pee smells? Maybe I don’t like the smell of yours either.

gemiwing's avatar

Well, I’ve never yearned for a carrot so I’m guessing yes.

DominicX's avatar

Yeah, we got hella Chinese food today and I’m having it right now… :)

Bugabear's avatar

Crystal light. There goes my kidneys.

Judi's avatar

When will they make diet coke with Stevia so I won’t be putting chemicals in my body?

Jeruba's avatar

Uh-oh, what’s wrong with Crystal Light?

OpryLeigh's avatar

I often crave fast food which I am very aware is bad for me! My favourite is Fish and Chips but I also sneak in the odd MacDonalds much to my boyfriends disgust, Chinese or Indian takeaways etc. Now, it’s not often I can afford fast food which is probably a good thing but I really enjoy it when I can!

rooeytoo's avatar

I’m still up there with @turtlegrrrl ‘s precooked bacon in a box!!! What the heck is that?
I was never a fan of baconbits in a jar, is this better?

JustPlainBarb's avatar

3 words… cheese, cheese, cheese!!! I would melt cheese over anything.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

Almost every food I enjoy is unhealthy is some way. I compesate with vitamins, cholesterol lowering drus and vigorous exercise. My life expectancy is also of little concern to me at this point. If I knew that I had developed an expensive-to-cure disease, I would not burden the state or insurance carrier with it but choose to end my life when the condition threatened to become debilitating

Jadey's avatar

I have a constant craving for humus… I know its not the worst thing really, i mean it has chick peas! But with the chips and pita its the quickest way to go up a dress size.

dpworkin's avatar

Mmmm, salty snacks; Ben and Jerry’s; bacon.

aprilsimnel's avatar

Cheeseburgers!

janbb's avatar

Never met an unhealthy food I didn’t like – oh wait, there’s beef jerky! Potato chips, premium ice cream, cheeseburgers, good French fries…............And then there’s chocolate

BraveWarrior's avatar

I love & crave candy. Not chocolate, but the 99.5% sugar with 0.5% food coloring “kiddie” candy. I try to keep it out of the house & avoid it in the supermarket (especially since I’m hypoglycemic) but when I get my female time of the month, sometimes I’ve just GOT TO have some or I can’t focus on anything else.

Ron_C's avatar

I have this occasional desire for a corndog. Incase you don’t know they are made of unidentified hot dogs on a stick coated with a thick cornmeal batter then deep fried. I can feel my arteries harden as I eat one but dipped in mustard, they are soooooo good!

dpworkin's avatar

Hmmm, Ben ‘n’ Jerry’s has to be healthy, doesn’t it?

Ron_C's avatar

@pdworkin It is all natural ice cream, must be a health food!

dpworkin's avatar

That’s what I was thinking. And whatever nutrition it doesn’t provide, I’m sure I pick up in my mdr of Cheetos.

janbb's avatar

What’s an “mdr”?

dpworkin's avatar

minimum daily requirement

Ron_C's avatar

There’s an MDR of Cheetos? Aren’t they the ones that turn your fingers and lips orange?

janbb's avatar

Have you trademarked that yet?

dpworkin's avatar

Orange Lips™?

Ron_C's avatar

@pdworkin maybe I don’t know what Cheetos are . I though they were the cheese covered puffy things that are orange.

janbb's avatar

@Ron_C They are and they pretty much make every part of you orange. I had some on a plane the other day and I’m still orange!

Ron_C's avatar

Yea, I thought that was what we were talking about. I very seldom eat that sort of thing. If I do I get them from the vending machine in desperation because I missed lunch. I think that is what messed up my keyboard.

dpworkin's avatar

It’s a rather nice shade of healthy fluorescent orange. the color itself probably has special health benefits, in addition to the proven benefits of salty, greasy snacks.

janbb's avatar

Hey, I went out walking last night and I wasn’t hit by a car so I’m sure the glowing orange must have health benefits!

Ron_C's avatar

@pdworkin I think the color also attracts honey bees. I don’t want to be pollinated.

Ron_C's avatar

@janbb Funny you should mention that. I have been complaining about our city. We are very rural and all the new houses have been built without a side walk requirement. Our street is a narrow two lane with a narrow berm on each side. The speed limit is only 25 MPH (40 KPH) but the cars go faster. My dog and I have had a couple near misses as the cars reach the top of the hill. It’s mostly the teenagers. I could use a orange coating that glows in the dark. There IS a reason for Cheetos!

janbb's avatar

@Ron_C Repeat after me, “I do believe in Cheetos, I do believe in Cheetos!”

Ron_C's avatar

hahahahah, “I BELIEVE IN CHEETOS” but do Cheetos believe in me?

janbb's avatar

You have to ask them about that.

turtlegrrrl's avatar

YES and OHHHHHH YES!!!!!!!!!

turtlegrrrl's avatar

bacon,,,,,,,,,lots & lots of bacon, anytime.

Ron_C's avatar

@janbb now I have to point my yellowed fingers at the Cheetos bag and ask for their belief. Too much work for something I’m not crazy about.
