Eating Poison Everyday: Fast Food 1-6

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……

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……

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”.

天天都在吃毒: 速食篇 1

1930 年代的时候,一种新的餐饮方式崛起,叫作 “drive-in”(免下车餐饮)。

--- 侍者将食物送到坐在车里等候的顾客手中。

--- 这是“速食”世代的诞生。

但这也是以下这些问题的开始:
- 少数几家食品大企业和肉制品行业的垄断控制
- 工业系统进入食品制造过程(大量和快速的生产)
- 农场的单一农作物种植方式。
- 无数牛只和鸡只的梦魇(残忍的饲养和屠杀方式)
- 肉类快速加工过程中的污染造成食物中毒
- 成人和小孩对垃圾食物的上瘾
- 过胖心脏病糖尿病……等等数据上升。
--- 这是一个导致整个社会付上“沉重代价”的餐饮方式。

有听过“大肠杆菌”(E. coli)吗?

这种导致严重食物中毒的病菌,可能会在你所吃的牛肉汉堡里找到

牛本来是吃草的,但肉品工业为了使牛快速长大,就改用玉米喂食
吃青草的牛的肠胃 pH 值原本是中和的;改喂玉米之后,其肠胃的酸性飙升,大大提高感染 E. coli 的机率
有些工厂式养牛场,拥挤的牛群,一只只站在粪便堆中;若一只牛有 E. coli 其他的也会被感染。
而在讲求“快速”的屠杀加工过程,牛肉沾染 E. coli 的机率也是相当高的。
与其从源头来解决问题,肉制品工业却用阿摩尼亚Ammonia)来杀死汉堡肉里的 E. coli……

2001 年,两岁半大的凯文吃了一个有大肠杆菌的汉堡,结果导致一种倂发症:溶血性尿毒症候群 ( Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome ),在十二天内就去世了 ---  凯文只是众多个案中的一个。

工厂生产的汉堡肉,混合了上千头牛的肉;当一头牛感染大肠杆菌,整批牛肉受到污染的机率是很高的。
凯文的父母雇了律师,花了快三年的时间,才找出他们是吃到哪一批肉,食品公司却不肯道歉
本来应该监管食品、为消费者把关的政府部门,却被食品企业公司所操纵……

你知道吃快餐会影响孩童的智商吗?
伦敦大学对 4000 个孩童进行了一项研究,研究结果令人担忧。
那些常吃快餐的孩童的平均智商,比那些常吃新鲜营养食物的孩童来得低。

自从速食业崛起后,“过胖”的人数也跟着提高。
这不只是欧美的现象;香港平均每 4 位孩童当中,就有 1 位是过胖的。
1819 岁开始有高血压糖尿病提早 20 年发生。
美国每年花在肥胖儿童的医疗费用,高达 143 亿美元。
如果这样继续下去,我们的新生代可能会比他们的父母亲短命 --- 死于过胖所造成的疾病……

全世界的商家都在瞄准孩童青少年,利用他们来“吵”父母们花钱消费
美国儿童每年消费约 800,000,000 美元,而青少年每年消费约 1,600,000,000 美元。
速食业者和其他垃圾食品业者,用广告佈下“天罗地网”,诱使孩童和青少年离不开他们所销售的食品。
速食业者也使用玩具当诱因,旨在使孩童们为了收集卡通人物,不断的要求父母们带他们去购买Happy Meal之类的儿童餐。
 这些色彩艳丽的玩具大多是有毒塑胶制成,丢弃后也制造大量的“塑胶垃圾”。
