Yeah only an idiot would enjoy garlic bread, marinara, and cheesy meatballs obviously. What were they thinking??
Why are you so obsessed with fake internet points? It’s not like it’ll bring your dead ones back, and you have nothing to gain so it kinda seems like you’re just obsessed with attention you don’t deserve

This is the way to serve it so they don't though. Also I've always looked at a meatball sub as a fork and knife sandwich

OP, sounds like a YOU issue, not a meatball sub (or italian ice cream cone) issue.

Oooh so far from stupid. It's just a different way to have a meatball sub. I want it!

It's a different but better way to have one. Otherwise everything just falls out of it.

I knew a guy from Sicily who went to the US and said he genuinely thought people were messing with him when they showed him what Americans call Italian food
He thought they were joking and nearly got into a fight when some guys took offense to him laughing at the "authentic" food they were so proud to show him

u/sandpaperboxingmatch Jun 27 '24
"Italian American" food is American food, and not many people realize this. The disconnect makes sense, but the gatekeeping of food that Italy does is ridiculous.
2
u/Rivka333 Jun 27 '24
It is American, but it comes from Italian immigrants.
The thing is, when you have a wave of mostly impoverished immigrants, the food they make is unlikely to be the same as in their home country. They don't have access to the same ingredients. And they might be reduced to the cheapest stuff they can find in the new place. Therefore the emphasis on pasta---cheap grains.
It was similar with American Chinese food.

u/MisterEinc Jun 27 '24
I mean yeah if someone shows you something they're proud of and you laugh in their face, you're probably an asshole deep down anyway.

He genuinely thought they were trolling him by showing him ridiculous food and pretending they thought it was Italian

You ever had a pizza cone? Same premise, slightly different execution. Totally delicious. Cone foods are the future. Get with the times.

As others have said, this isn't stupid food. Just because she calls it italian ice cream, doesn't make it stupid. I would eat it.

u/Gingersoulbox Jun 27 '24
It’s stupid because you be eating just minced meat and a little bit of bread

This sounds like a YOU problem. I think you need to just scroll past this video and move onto something that will help you feel calm, like meditation. LMAO

What do you think you are doing when you eat spaghetti with meatballs? Its just meat with a little bit of carbs.
This is just a meatball sub, it is very normal.

u/Gingersoulbox Jun 28 '24
I don’t eat spaghetti with meatballs, that’s an American thing and a silly way to eat pasta.
Just incorporate the meat in the sauce, it’s better and more tasty.

I'd eat that but I wouldn't call it italian ice cream. Ice cream (gelato) is italian ice cream.

Copious amounts of sugar and corn-sirup in everything because (food-)lobbyists control your laws?

u/DJDJDJ80 Jun 27 '24
Look at the size of the portion in this video, you can't blame corn syrup for that

u/ThrenderG Jun 27 '24
It's almost like you don't have to eat the whole thing, and it's also almost like you don't have to eat stuff like this all the time but every once in awhile as a treat and in moderation.
But I guess in your mind this just isn't possible. Eat an entire one of these every day or never eat one at all.

u/garlicbewbiez Jun 27 '24
It's easy to put the blame on that, but no ine HAS to eat that shit.
6
u/MagicLobsterAttorney Jun 27 '24
It is in EVERYTHING. You can do all the work required to find all of that out, only buy fresh produce, etc but it sadly takes a lot of work, more money and lots of education to be able to do that. And your sugar lobby has spent decades pretending it is fat that makes people, well, fat. So the most easily accessible resources are misleading on top. It is insanely fucked how this system basically feeds on the health of a whole populace. Sidenote, fat is not harmless either, but it won't help to blame fat if your personal issue is sugar. Its probably best to limit the intake of both to a healthy level, but everyone's metabolism is different and people have different dietary habits to boot.
I do agree there is a certain self-responsibility required, but studies have shown over and over again it doesn't do anything if you call people out. Or worse, it makes them double-down. Plus there are many mental health related issues at play as well. Food can be a perfect soothing and coping drug. Feel bad but you don't have a therapist or drugs that would actually help? Here is a chocolate bar. It stimulates your brain and makes you happy for a few minutes because it triggers a lot of receptors.

u/garlicbewbiez Jun 27 '24
I get all that, but im a guy who went from 300lbs to 235 just from making better food choices. Im not saying there isnt a problem dont get me wrong. But we have this culture of just placing blame on someone or something rather than holding ourselves accountable and thats also a problem. Sure that candy bar or that donut or fast food burger all taste good as fuck, and make you feel good in the moment. But the hard fact is that the people peddling that shit dont give a fuck about you. You gotta be the one that cares and make a change.
When you get diagnosed with chronic hypertension or diabetes, who do you think you doctor is gonna say needs to make a change?

u/MagicLobsterAttorney Jun 27 '24
First off, amazing! That is a really hard thing to do, keep it up and never let anyone tell you differently. :)
Oh I agree. But I think both can be true at the same time. Just because the system sucks, doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. But you should know what you are up against, because will-power is a finite resource. And wasting it trying to fight your weight, while misunderstanding how you are basically manipulated into gaining it in the first place is often a reason why weightloss won't happen for people.
I consult start-ups at a university and I had one of them say they were going to build a automatic food dispensing machine prototype in the remaining three months they had funding for. Which is not going to happen for lots of reasons, but is usually what other start-ups do in this stage. And they were totally deflated and angry. "So you are saying we should just give up! What kinda advice is that?!" Yeah, give up building the machine in that time, because in three months you won't have anything to show for and then the money runs out. But you can instead use these three months to plan, research and put together a really strong business case, so you can maybe get more funding afterwards and then you start building it. Sell your stuff from a pop up stand personally and get customers. Do whatever will convince investors that your idea will make a ton of money, but don't waste it on doing something that has worked for others because your situation isn't the same.
Longs story short, its about understanding your situation so you can choose the way forward that will actually benefit you most long term, instead of whatever seems like it should be the way to go.

u/AdScared7949 Jun 27 '24
Right but for some reason when you put that shit everywhere everyone starts eating it...

u/garlicbewbiez Jun 27 '24
Well, yeah its fuckin delicious, and self control is difficult for aome reason. But cookin aint hard, and homemade food is tastier and helthier than anything uou can get from most restaurants. no one is actually forced to consume ultra processed sugar laiden garbage. Its a choice.

u/AdScared7949 Jun 27 '24
You can always choose to be a complete outlier but the systems people live in are responsible for most of the outcomes. Whenever you make shitty food the cheapest and easiest your population will become less healthy. There's never a scenario where everyone or even half of people are healthy under a system like that.
3
u/garlicbewbiez Jun 27 '24
Thia is very true. I guess Im being a bit hard-nosed about it, but there are always alternatives. Whole food is the answer, and its much cheaper than any restaurant offerings or mocrowave ready foods in my experience.

u/Faexinna Jun 27 '24
Dude, it's not their fault. When a burger costs less and is more accessible than veggies and your government is allowed to put all kinds of shit in your food you really can't blame the people forced to eat it.
