Americans getting fatter

I think that when you're trippin' you become more accutely aware, and more sensitive to toxins, whether they be social (you can more easily discern those who mean to do you harm) or environmental, and this would include the food you eat.

We do have choices though, organic foods are more expensive, but readily available these days. When I go on back packing trips I stock up on organic foods instead of that pre-packaged high-tech crap 'cause I notice I feel better and more energized with organic nuts, carob, and Cliff bars.

The problem is that many Americans don't have these choices 'cause they're too poor to afford good food, or they're just too lazy or on the run, and McD's is pretty convenient. I can't see an organic fast food chain taking off if their food is much more expensive, but I'd sure like to see it happen...

 

It's definetely quantity and nutritiion. As americans, we have to eat less, exercise more, and eat healthier. It's the same stuff we've been hearing for years. But people won't listen until their own personal health is in jeopardy. its sad...

Oh, but for all the teens out there, when it comes to exercise we have it tough and no one can deny that. It's hard to go to school for six hours, then go to two hours worth of extracurricular activities, come home, do five more hours of homework and then somehow find room for exercise. That is just tough to achieve.

 

I totally agree with you, there are good fats and bad fats. It was thought for awhile that Saturated fat was really bad for you such as butter for example, now people realize that hard stick margarine is actually worse because it contains Partially hydrogenated oils( Trans fat).

Saturated fat is actually beneficial if only a certain percentage is taken daily. In fact it is found in some natural oils of plants such as coconuts.

Scientists arnt even sure if the saturated fat in coconuts can raise cholesterol, and it also has some anti-bacterial properties.

Trans fat on the otherhand isnt natural at all it is synthetic the human bodies have only been exposed to it for less than 100 years. Trans-fat may be hydrogenated and seem good since its made from vegetable oils but the human body didnt evolve to consume it. Not natural

The human body evolved and is used to monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and Saturated.

The reason alot of meditteranean cultures have lower cancer and heart disease is because they consume alot of OLIVE OIL (Mono-unsaturated fat).


The same logic here with what human bodies are used to can be applied to synthetic drugs as well. Most of them are toxins and irritants.

The FDA and US government actually would like if everyone ate just processed foods and took pills, you know why?

$

They want people to get cancer or heart disease from eating all the wrong stuff or taking pills so they can operate on you.

Vitamins pills arnt as effective as eating fruits and vegs. Vitamin C pills arnt very effective at preventing cancer as using the real thing: citrus fruits etc.

America is all about synthetic or man-made and doesnt think they need to rely on nature at all. THAT IS TO ME COMPLETE IGNORANCE!

 

fat americans bother me so much. they do it with the drop of a pin as the reality of starving children or suffering animals is not real, and whenever i see them, it turns my energy into knots. more twisted than pretzels that dont leave until i rip out more emotion for them and all the other fucked up shit in the world, and what do they do? continue to eat and steal and waste life energy like its nothing, fucking this world up with their greedy games. well fuck that, i think i am going to make it a point to avoid fat people alltogether, they have hardly a drop of love in their soul which is all fucked and scratched up from this now im sure, and i hope their karma does come around to get them and teach them even a PORTION of what i experience on their behalf.. then again, maybe they can change, but why should i fret over them and give them any more of my precious energy?
over and out and probably staying out
peace everyone

 

Lets not generalize now
