McDonald’s Now a Health Food?
The links to the articles posted below confirms the insanity that has taken our country by storm regarding our perceptions of what health is and how we go about achieving it. I highly encourage you to read them and watch the video. Our country as a whole continues to buy into the propaganda that being healthy has something to do with how one “looks” or “feels.” So much so, that we will go to any length to look a certain way or achieve a certain body image even if it means convincing ourselves that somewhere along the line McDonald’s food could help us achieve these goals. This is apparent in Weight Watcher’s current endorsement of McDonald’s chicken??McNuggets.
The main question I want you to ponder is this: Just because you lose weight, does that mean it is healthy for you and helping you in the long term? Couldn’t we simply weigh less and at the same time actually be destroying our bodies and getting sicker?
Along with the obesity epidemic we are currently faced with another epidemic, we are the sickest nation and generation, ever!! Obviously, obesity and poor health go hand-in-hand. However, we are seeing younger, skinnier, better looking(fit) people fall into the trap of chronic degenerative diseases that are a direct result of lifestyle choices, or lack of choices. Sure, you “look” great but in reality this is doing nothing for your health. In fact, it is only making your coffin a lighter load for the pall-bearers at your funeral.
Health is function and healing and is determined by: 1. Nerve Supply. The power that made the body heals the body. 2. Proper Diet/Nutrition (food by God) 3. Exercise/oxygen 4. Water 5. Detoxification. Toxicity “bogs” the body down and causes poor function 6. Time/Stress Management
