Haha when the US Surgeon General declared alcohol as a dangerous substance I did wonder how long it might take them to get around to the crazy UHP stuff runners suck down during marathons. Just for a moment. Runners' minds are not for changing

I simply try not to run so far that I need to eat a meal during it or so far that I shit myself

I'm practicing by eating a bag of gummy bears a day so that I won't have GI issues when sucking in gels on long runs. works!

I find most of the processed food discourse to be painting with an unproductively broad brush. The category of “processed foods” contains multitudes. Yes, some are terrible for you. Others aren’t great, but probably aren’t gonna kill you. Some (most?) are probably fine in moderation.

Like with everything else these days, nuance is being completely lost.

Yes. Runners aren't eating bread while running.
