Banned Food


Banning fast food ads is a good move. We support this.

Like sex, the promotion of food in America is about as neurotic as it gets.

We are simultaneously supposed to be healthy and trim yet the messages say eat and then eat some more, and by all means eat incredibly high caloric, fatty, and processed food. And while you are at it, eat more of it.

So is it any wonder that we are a nation of mini - hippos. Fast food is garbage. Food that is unhealthy and unfit for us is not food, its poison. Go ahead eat a majestic triple plot cheese smothered heart clogger, but do it once a year not three times a day.

This is not preaching, this is common sense.
