With all the war on this and the war on that isn't it time?
There is a war in Iraq. There is a war in Afghanistan. There is a war on poverty, there is a war against just about every thing...Take the war on drugs for example its suppose to be because drugs are dangerous and rotting the souls, and killing our population.
I made a statement recently about fast food, killing more people than drugs. So of course in this modern day and age, I did some research on the net.
As it turns out eating fast food twice a week significantly increases your risk of heart disease. It is estimated that 80 Million people in the USA have heart disease. Thats about 20% of the entire population or more. It's true that U.S. heart disease deaths overall are down. From 1993 to 2003, cardiovascular disease death rates dropped to 22.1 percent.(cnn) Its true. heart disease is still the number one killer. Killing nearly 400,000 people in the USA per year. By contrast with Billions of dollars being spent on the war on drugs. Here are some startling facts.
Annual Causes of Death in the United States
Tobacco 435,000
Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity 365,000
Alcohol 85,000
Microbial Agents 75,000

So isn't it time, that we had a war on the fast food industry? Its the biggest killer by far. Fast food rots our bodies. Its killing us isn't it time?
A battle against fast food
As the opening salvo of the battle begins;Our alarm clocks awaken us at 0400-gotta prepare Breakfast.First a cuppa coffee.The Lady of the household goes outside to the bushes and-after finishing the customary ceremonies-picks the bushes of the leaves and twigs that a properly bedded charcoal brazier needs-cannot cut corners here when the first drink of the day depends upon the considerate care of the cook.
However,we can cut this description short cuz time's a- wasting.By 0930;the coffee is ready and it is time to ask Mother hen for some eggs.We prepare the Sacrifice and the eggs are hurled into the Holocaust and come out in time for God to consume his(the shells)part while we prepare the rest for our delectation.By this time(1130) the camels arrive from the salt pans laden with our seasoning.The women smash the blocks into small pieces and sprinkle them upon the yolks,The repast is ready!After saying a few Rosarys;we dig in.Gotta hurry;cuz it's almost time for the noon meal!
We make a mental note that we've forgotten the toast.
Why does the woman always do all the work.
Why can it not just be the people doing the work? Meals should not have a gender. Must leave now its almost the lunch hour.
