First you have to understand thea this is all happening without Americans even realizing it. It is a crime being perpetrated against Americans, not by Americans.
The only facts you stated in that thread was the pricing of the wendys burger and bologna sandwich but last thing a homeless person is concerned with is condiments.Bread is merely empty carbs and those ingredients from the grocery store can make more then one sandwich so the fact that it costs more is completely irrelevant if the yeild is higher
Yes it is true that leading a life with a diet primarily of fast food and frozen goods will not lead a healthy life but you will not die from starvation.
The owner of wendys is an american so is that of MCdonalds Checkers white castle and so on and so forth. The only reason their food is so bad for you is because and only because those ingredients are CHEAP. Everything is about maximizing profits in any industry and thats exactly what theyre doing. If good quality food was cheap that is what they would be using. But that is not the case

The premise of that thread has obviously escaped you, as have the facts.

I would have to say that this is not accurate. Take scurvy for example. A condition that is the result of a lack of vitamin C, and can be reversed by re-introducing the vitamin into your diet.
What scares me most about your post is that we have a new doctor who is soon to go into the field believing this, and who was taught this. Where did he go to school, Codex U? So now are doctors are being taught that we don't actually need vitamins? Now that's scary.
I didnt say vitamin c (ascorbic acid) isnt vital for good overall health i also didnt say that all other vitamins and minerals were useless i stated those nutrients that are vital for SURVIVAL.

Very interesting and worrying thread.Ok, i'm just putting this out there for people to discuss- i am certainly no expert- just passing on info that i was told by a usually reputable scource (nearly qualified medic/doctor).
Apparently your body has most of the vitamins it is ABLE TO PROCESS stored in the body by the time we hit puberty. Therefore, vitamin supplements are a complete waste of time. Anyone who has ever taken "mega vitamin supplements" can verify that your urine dramatically changes in colour and smell. This is because they pass right through you without being absorbed. Can any experts confirm or deny this for me please?

This much I will agree with. But if you think the owners and board members of these international corporations are eating their product everyday, and are not in the "inside loop" of what is actually happening, you would be mistaken.
I doubt they ever even take a look at the food they sell. The main problem isnt fast food itself its the abundance and convenience of it. Fast food is EVERYWHERE. Its extremely hard in this day and age to find a decent market that sells natural foods that are not at break neck prices.
My tip stick with small local farms/markets to buy your foods itll cost more but the extra cost is worth while if you value your health

Again, I must agree. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself to an oversized combo-meal with a shake in place of a Coke even, but it is the everday diets of Americans that is the concern.

When you consider that one in eight Americans live below the poverty line, and even a full half of Americans could be considered poor, then this really is not a viable option for most. Especially too when you consider that even those who are not poor, are working so much that they really don't have the time to eat healthy, and to lead a healthy lifestyle. And their children suffer as well, with both parents working 50 hours a week each, or the single parent who is working 70-80 hours a week.
Then you must also consider what I said earlier as well. That even foods that are thought to be good for you, are now being stripped of nutrients. The humble potato, the salvation of the Irish, has lost something like 70% of its nutritional value in the past few decades. This is not by accident. This is Codex at work.
It isnt safe too assume that the nutriet loss in potatoes and many other staple crops are due to codex there are other mroe viable explanations such as poor nutrients in the soil or over use of soil.
