The Western Diet (Typical American Diet)

~
Food logic ?!

Direct quote from Sarah Palin’s new book: “If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

Is she a complete IDIOT!

Other obtuse logic could conclude: Cannibals eat humans because God made them out of meat. - OR - If God wanted man to play soccer, He wouldn't have given us arms.

I am losing empathy for people who are now suffering from heart disease. Although special interest groups and some health agencies are trying to stifle information from scientific research, research IS available that proves that people are literally eating themselves to death.

Heart attacks, cancer, and diabetes are only “normal” diseases in cultures that eat the rich Western diet.

When discussing former President Clinton’s health status after his latest heart episode, the newsperson said research has not yet found a cure for heart disease.

Excuse me?! There IS a cure for heart disease. Changing what you EAT reverses heart disease!

A lifetime of feasting on the wrong foods CAUSES heart disease. Eating a healthy diet cures heart disease.

People make all kinds of excuses to eat what they want to eat, and it is certainly their choice. But they are RESPONSIBLE for their own health. If they feel enjoying their customary Western diet is worth suffering with and dying from heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - so be it.

What does bother me is that many people are eating what they THINK they should eat to maintain good health. They are being misinformed by the government, special interest groups, and even national health agencies! EVERYONE should at least be exposed to the TRUTH.

I believe it is a crime that special interest groups (the meat, egg, and dairy industries) work to suppress accurate scientific research studies that prove their products CAUSE these diseases. Then they flood our schools and the media with propaganda to brain wash people into thinking their products MUST be consumed to achieve good health! If you hear something enough times, you begin to believe it! They spread intentional MISINFORMATION!

I also feel it is UNFORGIVABLE that national health organizations (Heart, Cancer, and Diabetes) do not make available fully accurate scientific information about the effects of the Western diet for fear the recommendations would be too stringent. They should make SURE the public has the FACTS to allow Americans to make their own dietary decisions.

After people understand the facts, I feel they get exactly what they deserve – whether it be good health or poor health and early death.
