BHT, TBHQ are preservatives that should be banned. what do you think they are doing to your colon crypt cells? or systemically throughout your body? causing DNA abducts, mutations, and ultimately cancer. Americans are not educated enough, and are victims of marketing - 90% of the food in grocery stores is toxic. 50% obsesity in the USA confirms my point. artificial colors should be banned, especially when natural alternatives exist. americans love cancer though, and can't connect the dots. They think they know something but can't prove it. They love being victims of marketing. lack of knowledge is embedded in the culture.

I’m so glad someone brought this up, because I think that there are probably some very twisted people in society, who claim that Americans love all the drama and victimness around cancer. They seem to try to influence us to love cancer — endlessly running commercials showing people getting hugs from the nurses when they go in for chemo, and promoting this narrative of loving family rallying to your bedside when you’ve had cancerous tumors removed.
Aside from someone who has a Munchhausens type approach to life (milks cancer for attention), I just refuse to believe that Americans love cancer.
But yes, Americans act like little children — clinging to carcinogenic ANYTHING, and not willing to turn away from anything that is associated with cancer.
Wow, this whole thread is ridiculous. You guys think that Hobbs isn't eating a well rounded diet the rest of the day? We are only talking about his post-run fuel. And he's doing what's right for his body in that moment: prioritizing fast fueling carbs. I imagine the rest of his diet is nutritious and limits processed foods. While everyone else is spending half their paycheck on gels and bi-carb, Hobbs is saving his money and finding something satisfying to eat. I'd be more concerned about Hobbs if he were hypervigilant about his fueling practices.

Agreed.
Can any of the posters complaining about his diet provide a number of Rice Krispy Treats, fruit snacks, and amount of lemonade that Kessler is allowed to have per week?

I mean, “allowed to have” is not an issue. He is a grown adult and can smoke cigarettes, and drink windshield wiper fluid.
From the perspective of his career, his food choices want to 1.) get the job done nutritionally, and 2.) not chance any med issues that would disrupt training.
Random example: You don’t want leaky gut, and you don’t want autoimmune disease. (Crohn’s or IBS would not be helpful in training.)
So, if industrial fructose promotes leaky gut (higher risk of autoimmune), or if free glutamates (malt flavor, etc.) raise risk, then are there any equally good recovery foods that do not have these things?
Even homemade rice krispie treats do not have industrial fructose or free glutamates, for what it’s worth.
The only thing I am saying, is that if there are substances that increase risk of a problem that interrupts training, some athletes would choose to eat these as rarely as possible, while others would throw caution to the wind.
Recovery foods might be intentionally free of fiber, but the diet as a whole should promote healthy gut, among other things, EVEN if the only goal is to get to retire in six years and eat like crap.

So much ignorance here. The worst part is guys like you just parade your ignorance.

I get it, though.
There are foods that we ate freely in the 70s and 80s, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and nobody called child protective services on your parents.
Now, it’s “oh, the hydrogenated oils” and “oh, the aflatoxins”, and people are really grouchy about that.
People want to believe that the foods we grew up on are OK. We ate twinkies and happy meals and stuff with artificial dyes, and it all seemed perfectly harmless.

Okay, so maybe my wording wasn't precise enough.
What is the number of Rice Krispies Treats, fruit snacks, and amount of lemonade that he could ingest that wouldn't harm his training?
Indeed, leaky gut is a very random example. What are the chances he develops that?
You are correct that the diet as a whole is what we should be focused on, and it seems like some people think that he's only eating Rice Krispies and drinking lemonade. What do you think he's eating outside of post-workout calories?

It's true. I am ignorant. I don't know how much Rice Krispies and lemonade calories detract from his training. I don't even know what the rest of his diet is like! Do you?
Some of you have really weird relationships to food and it shows. You think consuming anything considered "junk food" or "desert" is some kind of moral failing. The Hobbs story really triggered you because here's this ascending superstar in the sport who fuels his recovery with foods you think are decadent. If he's right, then it collapses this strange puritanical philosophy you have on training and diet.
Getting enough fuel in the body is the goal. Keeping the body "pure" is a fools errand.

I would think it’s a matter of mitigating risk. Nobody can know in advance how the roll of the dice plays out.
Nobody could possibly say precisely how junky a diet a person could consume without developing any avoidable medical problem that would disrupt training.
Side note: i may be wrong about Crohns and IBS. Possibly bad examples. Google says “immune-mediated” and “auto-inflammatory” are as far as the science will go on those, so my memory may not be serving me well today.
