Impertinent Question # Sixteen |
Are Americans growing fat because they eat too much fast food ? Or are
they growing fat because they eat their food FAST ? We live in a society
that encourages us to eat it and beat it ! Stuff it down and get OUT !
Make room at the trough for another hungry mouth ! Isn't it possible
that if we took (or were given) more time to eat our food we could chew
it, digest it properly and not pack our stomach tightly with undigested
bulk that clogs our arteries. Can it be that it's not WHAT we eat, but the
speed at which we eat it that's killing us ?

It is quite possible to be overweight without ever going anywhere near
McD's, et al. You can't blame it all on them.

totally agree Ken-what ever happened to personal responsibility? Fast
food has nothing to do with it, our poor choices do. If we had more of
a mindset like the europeans in moderating what we eat, splurging now
and then but not overindulging constantly-we'd be much better off, imo.

Get the DVD 'Super Size Me' - then talk.
It's the story of the poor guy who tried to live one month just eating
at MacDonalds.
Needless to say, the experience nearly killed him, and it took him a
year to get his weight back to normal.
