Same Food - Different Wrapper ... Which tastes better? The answer may surprise you ...


It's time to STOP this INSANITY !!
Today, a study came out that revealed that children, when fed EXACTLY the same food preferred the food item that came to them in the label of a well known fast food company ... The SAME FOOD !!!??? Preschoolers are SO conditioned by advertising that they chose the fast food wrapped food as tastier !!!!
.
But what was more frightening than that simple finding were the other statistics cited in the study. It was noted that out of the 63 preschool children polled, only TWO had NEVER eaten under the Golden Arches before ... AND fully ONE-THIRD ate there weekly !!!!????
.
What is wrong with us as a culture, that we've allowed such crappy food to become a staple in our diets ??? Are we THAT stupid ???
.
Wait, don't answer that ...
.
It's time to stop this madness ... it's time to stop eating franken-foods, and return to food the way it is meant to be ... prepared with care ... grown without chemicals ... and consumed fresh without processing and preservatives ... It's time to STOP feeding our children CRAP. (Comedian Bill Hicks said it much more succinctly in the early 1990's when he rightly called fast food "SHIT !!!" and urged people to "just stop eating it!!!")
.
The stuff that spews out of our fast food outlets is high in fat, high in sodium, high in calories and only tastes good because of the chemicals and preservatives poured on it ... it has no nutritive value, and it is so far removed from real food that according to the likes of Morgan Spurlock, it defies all natural rules of decomposition and can last indefinitely ...
.
And yet we feed this to our children ... over and over and over ... and we wonder why obesity rates are sky-rocketing ... why we are encountering strange cancers and other ailments ... and we're wondering why our diets are SO bad ...
.
There's a connection to be made people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
It makes me glad I cooked my kids a roast pork supper tonight with all the fixin's including garden fresh new potatoes ... After reading Spurlock's book "Don't Eat This Book", and reading about this study it makes me want to start a Fast Food Boycott ... it also makes me understand why that French farmer tore down a McD's in his town back in 1999 ... He might be on to something ...
