During visits to the states, and staying in motels, not only in the tourist traps, but also in the middle of fecking nowhere, the food they pile onto you is outrageous.
I love my food, curries, pasta, fish, meat, veg I'll eat absolutely anything and enjoy doing it, but I must say the wasted food that was given to me each time I've visited the US was just obsecene.
Maybe spun coded and capped chemicals do play a part in morbid obesity, affecting an individual's metabolic rate, maybe, those chemicals are there to trap those individuals with addictive personalities, like my posting about Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams, maybe food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, subversive sexuality are all there to trap the bodies and the mind of the weaker elements of society.
Then again, maybe not.
Perhaps, food is so cheap in the US that people gorge themselves, maybe petrol is so cheap, they drive 5 litre obese vehicles, maybe technology is so cheap, they use communications to flash their genitila across the world at the speed of light.
If you build it, they will come. And if you provide it cheaply enough, they will come back.
Yes, Yeo, Americans are wasteful!! There I've said it!!
They gorge, and waste!!
The ever so 'inviting' words: "DO YOU WANNA SUPERSIZE THAT ORDER?" Sure, give me a 25-gallon drum of coke with those 5 cases of french fries.
And I agree with you as far as "to trap the weaker elements of society".
But 'they' will learn (hopefully) on their own, because FOR NOW----they don't wanna know or hear, --ya hear!!???
Certain foods are cheap, but then again today, a grapefruit (the size of an orange) is $1.00 to $1.09 depending (of course) on the grocery store.
So naturally, people will flock to those drive-thru's for those daily 99-cent burgers, and .49-cent shakes (specials) on Fridays.
The lastest campaign that 'Little Caesar's Pizza' is running is a large pepperoni pizza for only 5 bucks. You can't find a parking space after 5pm near this pizzeria. People are walking out with 3 to 5 boxes each. And the grocery store is just around the corner of this mini shopping strip.
They want it cheap, plenty and fast!!!
I've mentioned it a few times here. What have we done to ourselves? What are we doing-----PERIOD!!?
What you say is a good start, but what this thread stated, was just the tip of the iceburg!
MSG is now generally made from SOY. Soy is toxic. And is just now showing many problems.
Our own U.S. Government has know for some time, along with the Major Food Corporations and the Pharmecueticals Giants.
Health Problems from soy include ADD, ADHD, Altzhiemer, Asthma, some cancers, But hear is the major item being seen. SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE PROBLEMS.
Soy effects the estrogene levels in men and women. And at the fetal and infant level is showing signs of feminization in male children and super sexing females.
Soy produces what is called phyto-estrogens i.e. (FAKE) that bind to the real estrogen and over take it. then doubles it up.
for raw data on this issue to include government cover-up to protect the industries. Drug companies make out on drugs to fix all medical problems, food producers would have to go to the real food sorces again, which would cost trillions.
you can see this data at http://www.senselessplanet.com/youmadeit.htm
MSG is the same as Aspartame PURE POISON. When I discovered what Aspartame can do to you I stopped taking/drinking everything that it was in.
after I had got rid of it out of my system, which took about 6 months. I felt great. But now I have diabetice, which I have read can be corsed by Aspartame. I don't really know if this is true or not. Only I'm the only one in my family to have diabetice. So I now look at it like this: - If the drinks company ain't getting my money, the drug companies are!!!!!
