Avoiding Fast Food
When it really comes down to it there are hundreds of reasons to avoid fast food and fast food restaurants. These places don’t even sell anything that could be considered real food and most of what they do sell is downright dangerous when it comes to our health and the risks we are taking with it. On top of that the chemicals and other substances that are in the food, the way the workers are treated and paid, the detrimental effect these restaurants have on not only the general health of our society but also the intelligence of it and our overall economy is astonishing.
So why is it that we continue to eat these foods if they’re so terrible for us? Part of the problem is the general ignorance of the people in this country. Most people just don’t know what is going into their food, how it’s prepared, how it’s raised, killed, and so forth. Most people don’t even want to know. The fact of the matter is that if more people know how their food was being raised, taken to slaughter, and what exactly was going into it - they wouldn’t be eating what they’re eating. Many people aren’t aware of the places that fast food restaurants get their meat from and it’s best for the fast food places that they don’t because people would be horrified if they knew that much of the meat is mostly chemicals, along with a lot of all the other food. The reason that we keep eating these foods is that they contain addictive substances in them that make us crave them more and more along with tons of different chemicals that make us think that our food smells and tastes good when really it wouldn’t without all those chemicals in it. Scientists have developed these kinds of chemicals and food additives to trick us into believing that we’re eating something that smells and tastes good when the reality is that we would never want to eat such awful food if it didn’t have those kinds of deceptive chemicals in it.
Another big problem with this food is that it’s dead - completely and totally dead. What that means is that this food doesn’t have any natural living enzymes in it. Enzymes are what help the body digest its food in order to be able to break it down and assimilate it any any nutrients that may be present. So not only does fast food have no nutrients present (which defeats the purpose of eating it) it also doesn’t have any enzymes to digest what you’re eating, which is essentially hot cardboard. What that means is that your pancreas is forced to use its supply of stored up enzymes in order to digest all your food and it takes those enzymes away from other important tasks in the body (like fighting bacteria, getting rid of free-radicals that cause cancer and keeping your immune system strong) to deal with the very basic task of digesting your food. If you didn’t fill your body up with crap then your body would be able to focus on more important things (like keeping you healthy) except for the fact that you are essentially getting in it’s way every time you eat fast food. This is why it’s so so important for you to eat food that has these natural enzymes in it - when you don’t you’re essentially forcing your body to either get rid of your food or find some other way to use it because it can’t digest it properly.
On top of all of this (as if that wasn’t enough already) these kinds of foods are known to lead to all sorts of disease and illness and if you don’t believe that just look at the people you see around you the next time you’re in a fast food restaurant - do they look happy and healthy to you? How about the people working there? Do they look like they’re in good shape, enjoying a life of nutritious foods? Nope. They look sick and halfway to death because that’s what they’re eating - sick and dead food. If that wasn’t evidence enough the fast food companies know it which is why they work so hard to advertise their products and the insurance companies know it as well because they spend millions of dollars every year investing in fast food brands. Why do you think they do that? Because insurance companies make money when you get sick and eating lots of fast food makes you sick. Not that hard to put two and two together is it? Why wouldn’t they want to invest in companies that cause people to be ill - that’s the best way for them to make money!
So there you have it. Fast food is terrible for your health, it’s terrible for the animals, it wreaks havoc on the environment, it perpetuates disease and filth, it makes other people very rich when people get sick from the food, and it’s not even real food to begin with. How hard is it to see that we need to switch from this awful junk that we’ve gotten in the habit of eating and move towards more natural fruits and vegetables. This is the only way that we’ll ever be truly healthy as a society - which, after all, is the most important part.
