Eating Poison Everyday: Fast Food 1
In the 1930’s a new form of restaurant arose, it’s called the
“drive-in” .
--- The food was
served to people while they were sitting in the car.
--- That’s the birth of the “Fast Food” era.
But it’s also
the beginning of:
- Monopolization & controlling by
a few large food empires & meat industries.
- Factory system into the food production ( massive & speedy production
)
- Mono-crop planting in farms.
- Nightmares of innumerous cows
& chickens (
raised & slaughtered cruelly )
- Food poisoning caused by contamination during speedy meat production
process.
- Adults & children’s addiction to junk food.
- Increase numbers of obesity, heart diseases, diabetes……
--- This is
a food system that the whole society is paying a “huge price” for.

Have you heard about the “E. coli”?
This type
of bacteria that can cause serious food poisoning, could be found in the beef burger you eat.
Cows were born to eat grass, but
the meat industries feed
their cows with corn,
in order to promote speedy
growing.
Cows fed with grass have Ph-neutral
stomachs, but a corn diet dangerously raises the acid level in the cow’s
stomach, and increases
enormously the risk of infecting with E. coli.
In some of the cattle industries,
over-crowded cows are standing
in ankle-deep manure.
If one cow has E. coli, the others will get it.
And during the “high speed” slaughtering & handling process, the risk of beef contaminated
by E. coli is also high.
Instead of solving the problem
from the very beginning, the meat industries use Ammonia to kill E. coli in the hamburger meat filler……

Poison Everyday: Fast Food 3
In 2001,
two and a half year old Kelvin ate a hamburger contaminated with E. coli, which caused him to be stricken
by “Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome”, he died in twelve days --- Kelvin’s case was
only one of the many.
The hamburger meat produced in
the factory came from meat mixture of over thousand of cows; when one cow is
infected with E. coli, chances of whole batch of beef being contaminated are high.
Kelvin’s parent hired attorney
and took almost three years to find out which batch of meat they had eaten,
however, the food
industry refused to apology.
Those governmental departments
that were supposed to oversee the food products and protect the consumers, were
controlled by the
food industries instead……

Do you know that
fast food affects children’s intelligence?
University
of London had conducted a research that involved 4,000 children, and the
results obtained are more than overwhelming.
Children
who ate mostly fast food had an average IQ lower than those children who ate
mostly fresh and traditionally prepared foods.
The idea
that fatty foods in general hurt
brain development has
actually been tested and proven in the US and Australia as well.

As the fast food
industry is on the rise, the numbers of obese people are also increasing.
This is not just a phenomenon in
the western countries; In Hong Kong, 1 out of 4 children is obese.
The 18, 19 years old are
diagnosed with high
blood pressure, diabetes cases were found in people 20
years younger.
United States spent as much as
$14,300,000,000 annually in the medical expenses for the obese children.
If this “obesity” crisis were to
continue, our younger generation might live a shorter life span than their
parents --- Dying from the illnesses related to obesity……

Poison Everyday: Fast Food 6
Businesses all
around the world are having their eyes on the children & youths,
using them as a tool to “nag” their parents to spend money.
Children in the United States
spend about $800,000,000 every year, while the youths
spend about $1,600,000,000.
Fast food & other junk food
corporations use “advertisements” as traps, in order to lure the
children & youths to be addicted to their food products.
The fast food corporations also
use the “toys” as baits, in order to attract
the children to nag their parents for kid’s fast food such as Happy Meal, so
they can collect those cartoon characters.
Most of those colourful toys are
made from toxic
plastic, after
disposed will generate large amount of “plastic trash”.
