Did somebody say Mc Donalds?


So a couple of years ago when the government "regulated" most major fast-food corporations (McDonalds paticularly) they all lead us to believe that fast-food restaurants had cleaned up their acts and the food was safer. Americans are still the most overweight and obsessed creatures on the planet, not to mention diseased and malnourished. Thanks be to our precious fast-food and our forever so faithful government! The trans fats, saturated fats and calories were and still are the LEAST of our problems.

The FDA allows McDonalds to put deadly chemicals in its french fries. Dictionary.com defines food as any nourishing substance taken to sustain life and growth. Well if thats an accurate description of food then I hate break it to you but Mc Donalds is NOT food - =( yea i know...

Say No to fast-food Part II



In a previous post I stated, "say no to fastfood" but I never elaborated because I assumed that it was self explanatory. Apparently not. Well I honestly didn't know the dangers of it all a couple of years back so no one is being judge. Eons before the Great Depression, Americans were driven in particular things. Rapid advances in technology and profit were our specialty. I guess this is why Americans are some of the most greedy people in the world. So I guess it is in our blood to be as productive and profitable as possible, striving to learn only things that make us more marketable and efficient in sales and production. So as a result somewhere along the line science and business crossed paths. We discovered that in order to be as profitable as possible we must produce food faster, yes, but we must also make it last longer. The first factor isn't a problem, however, the second most definitely is. Millions of chemicals endanger our food making it almost extinct. Fast-food must be prepared fast, sold fast and must make fast money. There must also be an abundance in it daily to provide food for the masses. No fast-food business will run a day without ensuring its inventory can more than provide for any premeditated influx of consumers. Fresh, 100% natural organic unaltered unprocessed food will spoil much faster than many of us would ever imagine.

This flaw in food is without a doubt a great disadvantage to fast-food corporations and they won't let the food waste.
So of course with permission from the government and the FDA, poisonous and deadly chemicals are added to our food supply. It is beyond disgusting and proposterous for a lack of better words. I hope this leaves nothing more to be said. Say NO to fast-food.

We need more protein?!


First of all, most of us gorge our stomachs with pounds of protein. We have eggs and bacon for breakfast, a cheese burger or rice and fried chicken for lunch, and steak for dinner or some other type of meat. Without a doubt protein is necessary but definitely not in the quantities in which we consume it! This is simply way too much protein/meat for our poor bodies to handle. It causes a tremendous burden on our liver and GI tract. Our digestive system as a whole and our stomachs don't even produce enough hydrochloric acid to digest the amount of protein we overwhelm our bodies with daily. Only about 6-8 to eight ounces of protein are necessary in men and about 4-6 in women a day!

Many of us believe that it is inevitable to sustain a healthy vegan diet. This is a misconception. Yes, the quantity of protein available in meat is sufficient and beyond adequate, however, protein is found in most fruit and vegetables also. As a matter of fact, why would we feel that we need to eat meat to be strong, well, and healthy when some of the strongest animals in the world are herbivores, or in our case vegan -- from the tallest -giraffes to the strongest and heaviest - pandas, gorillas and elephants.

Thank God animals are blessed to live by instinct by eating the things they need that also are good for their bodies. We eat the things we want that happen to be bad for our bodies. After reading a couple of books regarding the dangers of eating meat, I've discovered that it takes about two days to digest. This means it sits in our system rotting and increasing the risk of parasitic infections and a host of other disorders. Most of our meat supply is drugged with antibiotics, growth hormones, fed unnatural feed, mistreated, confined, and live in unnatural situations. This corrupts, destroys, and devitalizes the meat we eat everyday, which in turn, causes degenerative diseases, shortened lifespans and other health problems. I happen to be very picky with the meat I decide to eat and also rarely eat it. If you love yourself and love your body then treat it as if you do. Be particular with your food choices and very cautious when eating meat.

Now if you can't stay away from meat, I strongly suggest you eat much less of it. The types of meat that I strongly suggest you AVOID is pork, sushi, and seafood excluding scaled fish. Pork is the most toxic, diseased and dangerous meat known to man. Anything a pig eats turns into fat on its body in minutes and pigs eat ANYTHING! So I can't imagine what you people are eating when you eat pork. Pig meat also contains millions of parasites and many of them won't die no matter how long you cook it for. Most of the type of fish that sushi is made from has parasites living in its spinal cord that never die.

Most types of seafood such as our favorites (shrimp, lobster etc) are scavengers and no meat is worse to eat than scavengers. I also would suggest eating less chicken. Most of the chicken we eat is caged, ill-slaughtered and fed artificial food. Now I can't suggest meat you shouldn't eat without suggesting meat in which you should. Wild salmon, and free range organic beef are the best. Now I hope we all (including) myself can make better health conscious decisions and abstain from too much meat.
