Fast Foods Saltier in U.S. Than Overseas?
Countries overseas have been demanding that US fast foods be less saltier. So, why wouldn’t McDonald’s and Subway offer the same food here? It only makes health sense that they would do that. If you have followed my posts, you know that I am passionate about healthcare reform and that I believe that I believe [...]
What Is Processed Food Doing To Your Body?
Do you know what processed food is doing to your body? How about your kids? How much processed food are they eating? Where are they getting it (or the money to buy it) from? Processed foods have been altered from their natural state and are laden with saturated fats, sodium and sugar and provide little [...]
Turkey Sub & McDonald’s Oatmeal Among Worst “Healthy” Fast Foods
I frequently hear people tell me that they had a healthy lunch of a turkey sub or ate McDonald’s oatmeal for breakfast - assuming it would be healthy. “NOT SO,” says the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. PCRM dietitians found that some fast-food items advertised as healthy choices are actually high in fat, cholesterol, sugar, [...]
Overweight Kids Risk High Blood Pressure
Overweight kids risk having high blood pressure now – not just later on in life, but now. Being overweight, not just obese, can cause damage to the heart, blood vessels and kidneys. Childhood obesity is for the most part preventable and from my perspective it is unconscionable that in 2011 we are feeding our kids [...]

Jamie Oliver Makes An Ice Cream Sundae
Did you see Jamie Oliver make that ice cream sundae on his Food Revolution? Pretty gross, huh?

I keep saying that we must vote [...]
McDonald’s Chooses To Make Kids Fat
McDonald’s shareholders have chosen to continue offering kids meals that are high in fat, sugar and sodium, all in the name of “choice and the demographic process.” Can you believe it? Dr. John McDougall says that “The pain and suffering inflicted on children by the American diet is so brutal that if it were administered [...]

Fast Food Against “Happy Meal” Laws
It should be no surprise that the fast food industry is lobbying against “happy Meal” laws that would limit or prohibit the marketing of unhealthy junk food packaged for kids. While I do believe that government has a role in preventing deceptive advertising, I believe that the ultimate responsibility lies with us as parents. Let’s [...]
McDonald’s Making Oatmeal . . . Wrong
McDonald’s oatmeal: more sugar than a Snickers bar and costs more than double-cheeseburger. WHY SO WRONG?! Just when you’d think that maybe McDonald’s was going to serve something healthy they go and screw it up! Several Slender For Life™ weight loss hypnosis clients have mentioned that McDonald’s now had oatmeal. Oatmeal on the go is [...]
Eating With Awareness ~ John Robbins
John Robbins has an insightful take on eating with awareness. The costs of cheap fast food is violating and betraying us. Our culture is entrenched in unconscious consumption.
