Go ahead. I dare you. Open the grocery flyers that get stuffed into your mailbox
every Friday. Take a gander at what the big corporations and society say is
good for us. Hey, if it’s on sale, it must be good, right? Mmmmm-mmmm-mmmmm.
Push the cart over this way. Come on.
Let’s start by loading up on a few litres of that oh-so-sugary, chemical filled and utterly devoid of any nutritional benefit dreck we call soda pop. 4 for $5. Such a deal.
Oh look – there’s some loaded-with-goodness “Enriched White Bread” for $1.99 .
And check that out –it’s that plastic in a tub otherwise known as “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter”. Don’t come too close to it with a match – you could cause a nuclear meltdown.
Over here… grab some of that jammed-with-air and other assorted fillers ice-cream on sale for $4.99. And how about some of that no name salad dressing — the one that checks in at 15 grams of fat in a tablespoon. Yee haw. Just screams “clogged arteries”, doesn’t it? But hey, it’s on sale. It must be good, right?
Just like the sad little sheep that most people are, you baa-baa check the ads once a week, baa-baa make up your shopping lists and baa-baa head to the big box grocery store.
You think you’re making the decisions about what to buy and what to eat.
You’re really just a puppet in the hands of the corporate behemoths and the advertising geniuses. Those big nasty food giants don’t WANT you to be healthy.
It is not in their BEST INTERESTS for you to be healthy. Just like a crystal meth
dealer on the east side of whatever city you live in (crime heads east, it’s a fact)… these
people want to hook you and your kids on sugar, bad carbs and fat. In other words, CRAP. And we are a generation of people hooked on the worst crap imaginable.
Candy, chips, sugar-coated cereal, twinkies, ding-dongs and ho-ho’s… you name it, we buy it and shove it into our mouths. And then we go back to the store next week and buy more, and shove that into our mouths. It’s a terrifying vicious cycle that will never end until all the sheep finally wake up and knock some sense into their little sheep brains.
The more you’re hooked, the more the big nasty food giants can count on big delicious profits. You have probably been hooked on sugar since you took your first sip of Mountain Dew or Orange Crush or Fresca when you were 4. These people are every bit as insidious as a back-street crack house. In fact, that should be the new name for supermarket: Crack House. “This week at the Crack House, buy five cartons of crap, get the sixth one free!!! Face painting for the kids – and free samples of cookies to jack the whole family up on even more sugar so that you’ll come back to the Crack House later tonight to buy a metric ton of sugar. It’s white. It’s gritty. It makes you feel
so g-o-o-o-o-d.
Hey,Chicken Little…The Sky is Falling!!!!
For as long as you continue your addiction to sugar and crap, the big nasty food giants will continue to drain your wallet, and suck the life out of you. You will lie delirious on your death bed asking someone to bring you a box of Little Debbies and a glass of milk. Look at the enormous guts and asses on the people you see in line at the check-out at those big box stores. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve whispered “Good God” under my breath when I’ve caught a glimpse of a woman (or a man) with a butt big enough to barbecue a box of steaks on. The world is eating nothing but crap crap crap. We are teaching our children to eat crap crap crap. The magazine ads tell us that an Egg McMuffin, hashbrowns and coffee make for a HEALTHY BREAKFAST!!! Are you freaking KIDDING ME???? If you’ll buy that, I’ve got some swampland in Florida
I need to unload.
The tv ads tell us that a calorie laden iced cappuccino from the local donut emporium is something to be lusted after. LUSTED AFTER. Why??? Because once you’re hooked, they have you as a customer for life. It is madness, madness, madness.
GREAT WHISTLING JEHOSEPHAT!!! Have enough respect for your health, your body and your future to SAVE YOURSELF NOW!!! Run screaming from the Crack House and head for the health food store. Have a glass of tap water instead of a can of pop. Eat some bran flakes instead of Count Chocula. Shovel some REAL food into your mouth and see where that gets you. I’ll tell you where it’ll get you. On the road to good health for good.
