Fast Food Makes You Sad, as Well as Fat

Apparently, one can eat, drink, and be merry, or one can eat, drink, and be totally bummed, depending on what one chooses to eat.

  1. To my Spaniard Friends abroad, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! Learn from what has happened to us over here before it’s too late there. The IDEA of putting chemical tastes, colors, and texturizers, along with synthetic sugars, fats, and other chemicals, into food, to make it look better, last longer, cook faster, and made cheaper, has done two very big and great things here in the West. One, this idea has made a tremendous amount of profit selling a whole lot of food, and two, it has nearly brought a Country to it’s knees with the cost of health care for one of the most unhealthiest societies in the free World. Look it up, and class dismissed!
