Someone recently gave me a copy of Supersize Me, so I'll have to watch it. It's also amazing how much I'm learning while reading Master Your Metabolism about all of the chemical and junk that are in our food!WriterMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280436020496988815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367252400580046798.post-29756134813781108852009-06-28T21:13:36.489-04:002009-06-28T21:13:36.489-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040513296641810904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367252400580046798.post-83360049905278856742009-06-28T21:12:37.174-04:002009-06-28T21:12:37.174-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040513296641810904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367252400580046798.post-77141618351928990222009-06-28T21:12:24.769-04:002009-06-28T21:12:24.769-04:00I could go on for hours about how incredibly BAD f...I could go on for hours about how incredibly BAD fast food is! If anyone gets a chance, pick up the book, "Fast Food Nation"...you will think twice before you EVER eat another fast food burger again, I guarentee it! It is so very sad how UNEDUCATED people are about nutrition! Instead of looking down on these parents, we should be looking for ways to educate them about how important good nutrition is! I'm going to post information on my blog soon about fruits and veggies and how vital they are to our diets. It is especially vital to growing minds and bodies to have the proper nutrition. The saying "gargage in, garbage out" is very true! Not to mention the extremely high rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes, hypertention that exists in people in this fine nation of ours! Most of these conditions are at least partially, if not wholly preventable with diet and exercise!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040513296641810904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367252400580046798.post-8986468037482738392009-06-26T13:02:50.510-04:002009-06-26T13:02:50.510-04:00Have you ever watched that docu-film called "...Have you ever watched that docu-film called "SuperSize Me"? It compares what USED to be a large fries and drink and the sizes those things have become in recent years. Shocking.<br /><br />A bloggy friend of mine was eating lunch at the mall with her two young kids (ages 3 and 5, I believe) and EACH of them had ordered a slice of pizza ~ and you know how huge those slices are! They watched in disbelief as a tourist couple from Europe sitting next to them SHARED JUST ONE piece!! From their body language and facial expressions, my friend knew they were very hungry, and yet they were both satisfied after only HALF of what <i>her little kids</i> ate!!!! It's incredible how much North Americans consume, simply because we <i><b>can.</b></i><br /><br />Have a look <a href="http://www.aboutcolonblank.com/2008/02/11/what-people-eat-around-the-world-photoset/" rel="nofollow">here</a> to see a great comparison of food consumption around the world.tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367252400580046798.post-58588841231518473482009-06-25T15:34:02.673-04:002009-06-25T15:34:02.673-04:00you are totally right! i don't have any kids,...you are totally right! i don't have any kids, I hope to one day though. I know that there wasn't much I was limited from on a fast food menu when I was a child though. I remember jumping straight from the kids meal to the Whopper at Burger King(and I'm not talking jr - even though the Junior is still too much). I love my parents VERY much and I know they didn't mean me harm, but now I wish I was allowed whatever my belly desired. A whole whopper (with cheese), fries and a Medium drink is more than an adult should even be eating and i was only like 9. A friend said she felt sad the other day because at the grocery store, this lady was pushing a cart that with a kid and the basket was full of fruit snacks, cookies, potato chips, pop tarts and juice boxes. She said there wasn't one thing that wasn't processed, boxed and fat/sugar filled in her cart. :(Meshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369633273834498488noreply@blogger.com
