i hate hate hate the concept or hype or whatever of 'comfort food'.

i'm sure it's nothing new but not until recently have i heard it
meantioned over and over and over on tv--cooking shows, news programs,
talkshows, etc.

are we turning into little babies? what with the family breakdown and
social fragmentation, are we seeking mama in food? from rich, yummy,
buttery, nurturing goo goo delights? feel stress? ahhh, wittle baby,
why don't you hug a baggypoo of potato chips and eat the whole thing?
troubled by tewwible news story? ga ga goo, why don't you pile your
bowl with ice cream and suckle on every spoonful.

for chrissakes, what is 'comfort food'? you mean junk or fattening or
sugary food? and, since when should grown adults be seeking comfort
from food? imagine john wayne being attacked by indians and going for
beef jerkies instead of killing the stupid savages. imagine humphrey
bogart as a detective in a noir film, stressed by the latest case,
losing control and regaining stability only thru creamy pasta and
cheese. pathetic!

of course, the food industry is also largely responsible for this
comfort food craze. how do you package and sell fattening and sugary
junk? why, just call it comfort food! yes, comfort foody is your
family, your friend, your religion. who needs friends, family, or the
bible when you got the crunchy, munchy, or creamy yumkins?

what kills me is americans are fat as hell. they eat and eat and grow
fatter. they look at themselves in the mirror and hate their fatassed
selves. they feel miserable so what do they do? they want comfort, and
what easier and more pleasurable reassurance than comfort food... which
only makes their arses larger and bellies wider.

gimme a break!

why don't go out and have fun on saturday nights for a change. don't be
a loser stuck on the computer.

This troll was posted to the following newsgroups:
rec.arts.movies.current-films,rec.arts.tv,rec.food.cooking,rec.music.phish

Looks like a good one to ignore, although some folks might have some fun
with it.

I once had some annoying redneck dental hygenist drone on and on about
what "comfort food" she loves, as she mauled my teeth. The phrase got
on my nerves too -- and has ever since. I share your rage.

You're right, it's not a new term. What rock did you just crawl out
from under: did you just graduate, move back to the country or have
you been in jail?

I'd agree. There is something wrong with contemporary society when
things like "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and "Comfort Food" become
well-known. People are WEAK. They need motivation. Right now, many
are simply living for a living. "Decadent," the term would have been
in years past.

You seem really quite uptight and angry about small little things that
should not matter at all to you - I think you could use some comfort food
for that.

I'm a ****ing champ at getting worked up and angry over stupid
insignificant shit.

And even I thought this post was ****ing over the top and stupid.

Calm down dude.

I personally don't go around referring to "comfort food" but I guess I
can relate to food helping you feel better or at least be a pleasurable
experience.

It's funny when people in a newsgroup filled to the brim with drug
users complain about people relieving stress with food.

dont you hate it when people give a shit whether you post on top or on
bottom? could anything be less important?

Not that I can think of. I've just come to realize, and accept, that
for some people, exerting control over every facet of their existence
is the most important thing in their lives.

Chill, dude. Comfort food is food with which you associate some
pleasant nostalgic feeling ... like food your mom fed the family when
you were young - or sick - or when the family was poor - or whatever.
Food which has memories which you enjoy. That's all; nothing more.
It's not necessarily bad for you or fattening or anything else. For
example, a "confort food" for me is hot lemonade and soda crackers to
nibble when I have a terrible cold, because that's what my mom gave us
when I was little.

Find some other soapbox - this one isn't what you think it is.

And what is lost on you, moron, is that most of us do not need a
constant reminder of every word written in the thread, so why should we
have to scroll off the first screen or jump to the bottom because you
are memory challenged?

That is the standard. If you do not like it, start your own network or
expect to get flamed.

You seem to be missing the point that you do NOT need a reminder of "every
word written in the thread". You should remove all quoted text but
a small portion to which you are directly responding.
