Well, we humans are not cows, we don't need all those cereals. We'll do fine with ONLY pasta and wholesome (is this the right word) rice. We need a lot of red meat because it stimulates our brains to think and other animal fats from fish like salmon because some vitamins are soluble in fat like A and D. We also don't need milk, that's a LIE, the industry has told us to sell their products, we can get calcium from almonds, sesame seeds and broccoli, milk is BAD and the way they get it is GROTESQUE to say the least. We need much more veggies than fruits. Another lie they tell us is that SUN is bad, Sun is not bad, it helps us to process the fat-soluble vitamins I mentioned before. And another lie is the "30 minutes of exercise a day" is enough, we need AT least 1 hour of aerobic exercise and a little bit more of anaerobic exercise. The contemporany diet of the Western man is the reason we have such hideous teeth and why people in their 20s develop chronic-degenerative diseases. Also, all the **** that comes with a plastic package makes girls have their periods at 8 instead of 13. The whole thing is so twisted

In the U.S. there is fast food on every corner so it is ridiculous. Way to much crap..... and it is cheap which makes it even more accessible to a larger demographic. This could be intentional however in order to help fuel and make medical business "prosper" or "thrive" (as Kaiser says) that would benefit the government. Why wouldn't the government place restrictions on it unless it was somehow benefiting them....

That picture is actually somewhat true about Americans. I remember walking to the mall once. The escalators were full and so tight, people were elbowing each other for a little room. But right next to the escalators were perfectly normal, people-free stairs. I used them instead.

I don't know specific statistical facts but I do know something about fast food from expirience.
I live in a tiny little village half-way up a mountain in the middle of nowhere, although I go to school in the capitol. From my house you need to go about 30 miles to find 1 fast food place and another 20 to find any more. In the city there is coffee shops galore but very few fast food places still, there is probably 3 in the city centre and 1 every mile coming out.
Yet where I stay in Minnesota, also completely in the middle of nowhere has more fast-food places within 10 miles than the capitol city of NI.
I find that shocking.

That's even WORSE. Milk is a very rich aliment in its natural form, but you'd need to have your own goat to be sure you're drinking pure milk. Cow milk is not very nutritional as it has a very high rate of PHOSPHORUS. Human milk has less calcium than cow milk but it also has MUCH LESS phosphorus, goat milk is the most similar to human milk. But as I said, we don't NEED it.
Did you know your tetra brick milk has PUS in it? It's really gross.

I despise elevators and escalators, I would rather walk up 10 flights of stairs, they make me feel physically sick.
The only time those sorts of things are neccesary are in the like of airports, where they make travelling long distances on a tight schedule possible. But I have seen moving walkways in freaking malls, what the hell is up with that?!

If I'm going to be killed if I keep eating those twinkies than I'm not going to eat them anymore! Simple. There will be less demand for fast/packaged food because people will be fearing for their lives, so fast/packaged food will at least hold a significantly smaller percentage of the food choices at a restaurant/supermarket.

Ch....
I'm like that because I can't climb a set of stairs for life. My locker is on the third floor...and every morning I gotta climb those sets of stairs. By the time I get to my locker, I'm laid out on the floor (not really but I sit down for dear life)

Moving WALKWAYS
That's, that's CRAZY!
Anyways, I love escalators and elevators. Escalators are fun walking backwards, and running down the opposite way, and then people stop you to turn you back around
Elevators are fun because of that feeling you get when moving up and down. It turns your stomach inside out
But moving walkways, that should be banned

In my school the seniors or sixth formers as they are called here have their own 4 story building. You gotta climb 4 stories to buy food. Genius.
