I too, said initially that David's remark was amusing.  I still maintain it is, but I can add a "but" to my statement and say I wouldn't take dietary advice from him!  

it doesn't mean I'm a bad person (the word sin was actually used) or that anyone has to feel sorry for my relatives.😳

I just have one thing to say to people who hate America and its people:  Delta is ready when you are.

What? I didn’t know Brussels Sprouts were American. I though they were from Belgium.

I made hamburger steaks, roasted Brussell sprouts, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes for lunch today.  Soooo goood.  Now the fat police are going to come after me for having hamburger steaks.  Yikes.  Gotta run.  Those fat haters are teaming up against me.

MMMMMMMM...hamburger steak, especially with gravy, is "last meal on earth" worthy!

Funny story...my husband (does all the cooking) makes hamburger steak the 1st day of every month because our little dog Toby will not take his 1x month flea, heart worm pill unless we disguise it, so you know who gets hamburger steak the 1st day of every month...only a little bitty bit of gravy, though!  He never knows is pill has been crushed up & mixed inside.  We tried everything to get him to take it & the first time we tried hamburger steak, we stopped trying with anything else.

We rolled up our dogs' in a slice of sharp cheese.  It fooled everyone we ever owned.  I understand disguising meds.  I have a time with my cat.  She does not like fish and seafood.  I try with chicken but I think she is smarter than my dogs.  Such a diva.  We have learned to hold her and open her jaws and slip it in.

Ladies, I'm not a 'Suzy Homemaker' but I'm a pro at hiding a furbaby's meds.  My latest ploy is breaking apart the baked fishsticks.  I then break my boy's glucosomine chewy into pieces and sticking them into bites of the fishsticks, which I cover with a dab of homeade sauce and mashed potatoes.  Works like a charm if anyone wants to try!

Now, can anyone tell me how you make a hamburger steak?  I always looking for recipes.  TIA!

@eddyandme My recipe for hamburger steak is as follows:

1 lb ground beef

1 egg

1/4 cup panko

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Growing up, I never liked them either (mom used frozen and the were soggy) so I never made them as an adult.  When we chose keto our keto lifestyle, I tried them again (the au gratin casserole) and I flipped over it.  Brussels sprouts are part of the cruciferous family and super healthy. These days I eat them several times a week - roasted, pan sautéed, steamed. I always use fresh.  Love ‘em!

I do agree that the host's weight is his business, but if he makes derogatory remarks about healthy foods and encourages viewers to eat cheese, bacon, and other fatty unhealthy foods, there are going to be comments from those who disagree.

Disagree is one thing.  To not allow others an opinion about food, and think that they should be shamed for not liking a food, or for not telling others how to eat is thought police.  

We are not all think alike, we do not talk alike healthy food and to say we can't express that is nonsense.  People have a right to make a choice about what they eat;  whether others like it or not.

Thanks @deepwaterdotter .  Your recipe sounds good - gonna try it this week!  I always keep hamburger in the freezer.

@mom2four0418 @I don't know this host personally. Neither do you.   I think he seems like a nice guy during his presentations.  

what I "know" is that he's a big guy.   I also know what he looked like in his earlier years at QVC. The camera doesn't lie.

Many of the longtime hosts don't look like what they did in earlier years. (Not saying that in a negative way because many look good, but who looks the same 25-30 yrs later?).
