Most of Americans are now consuming way too much food and are taught to do so thanks to the media, who are supported directly from the advertisers, who also feed from that system, which has now become abusive in many ways. The distribution of food has become overwhelmingly burdensome on our surviving earth system. It now costs many times what it would normally cost just to get food on the plate and because of massive distances and transportation costs. This is not an intelligent system, but a system of corporative manipulation that will eventually fail based on earth events that affect us more than they affect earth, or a form of unbalance in progress. For some strange reasoning, our society is more concerned with growth and expansion as a species. We have lost the knowledge to eat food produced from the land locally and over emphasize luxury as an option. We should seriously reevaluate our perspectives if we intend to survive and stop exsiccating the resources we have available, just it seems, to move food around the planet on a mass scale. Have you ever wondered, "How big is the fast food industry in America"?
This convenience has become habitual because of many reasons. First, the corporations intend to sell you as evidenced by the clustering of fast food restaurants around schools where children are greatly affected by this tactic in a habitual way. You also notice them around places you like, and places you go to have fun or partake of the local entertainment. [2] Secondly, people are not being educated about food calorie content unless it has benefits to the mass system in place because educating people cuts into profits, that is, if they get the message. Knowledge makes a difference and the corporate system fears it the most. Thirdly, may it also be noted that responsibility for oneself is somewhat removed in the eating out persona of the mind. It is much easier it seems to place this task onto someone else who is courteous to yourself, yet, a majority of servings provided in America are excessive in amounts which entices people to eat more than they should. If it is in front of you on the plate, you feel obligated to eat all of it when you should feel NO OBLIGATION at all to eat it entirely. Why on earth would you want a corporation telling you how much to eat? By not eating so much, you place the burden where it belongs, on the seller, and their over abundant need for generating profits by inventory volume focus, when that focus should be placed in other areas of consumerism, such as health and well-being. At the same time, YOU, avoid fast food bad effects that seep into your life secretly without your noticing because you weren't paying any attention. One could easily consume a meal of 3-400 calories and feel fine, and later have a healthy snack. We assume the food must be consumed in lots per day, 1000 to 2000, or at available times. In our society, this only forces people to eat more for lack of time waiting on being served, and clogging up traffic. The system itself is overlaying the mind as a form of stress which in effect causes you to move into a survival mode without realizing it. Small portions should be mandatory, and the way our world is going, probably soon will. Calorie counters around the web seem to be heavy compared with world data coming in. America is used to living on more. This is waste, and the waste from it could probably feed all the poor. What a shame. We can make a difference by not ordering all that junk loaded on the plates, or eating half, and asking for a refund. Over eating is really a serious psychological disorder and needs attention. Disclosure of the truth begins to help change the minds of the perception, but only if seen. It is likely that the more fast food you consume, the less of it you actually absorb into the body, as the body becomes affected by the nutritional and chemical contents, that is to say, the body is much more likely to absorb nutrition when the body has a greater need for it. If you eat out constantly, or eat out once per day, you may be adding weight just on calorie count alone. This is one of the primary unhealthy facts about fast food. Consumers are not told that those Blooming Wings and Cheese Things are almost 2000 calories in every order, and sometimes in the range of 3000. [3] Consumers are not told because it affects the system and the system currently has priority over your health. There are those who had initiated a bill [4] that would force these corporations, [those who had 20 or more franchises] to disclose the hidden costs when supporting their enhanced self servicing from others, and the corporations have fought hard against it. There are others now involved in trying to change this bill and get the tobacco industry involved in an attempt to manipulate consumers on a more abusive psychological level. So the original bill that began years ago [Menu Education and Labeling Act], introduced again in June of 2006, sits in waiting subjected to committees with special interests at hand.
Based on many recent studies about our cyclic nature, as in our sleep cycle, our consumption should match more these natural habits. In balancing our daily cycle, one should push in the proper direction, as in, more sleep, less food, and keep this as a priority or pattern of normal living. Instead, we are forced to get less sleep and eat more food, which is dead wrong, habitual, and dangerous for your health overall, which could cost you later in life when you're trying to finally have some peace. Most people completely ignore calorie intake and have had fear instilled into their minds about nutrition, and not getting enough. The supplement industry is a perfect example of the affects of nutritional focus, and they are a mix of abusers and those who actually care and research in order to make products available that can help educate and enhance personal living. Supplements as food are only as good as the current body state sees fit to absorb and utilize, which may be almost nothing depending on the individual state. Our eating habits are excessively tied to our unconscious mind, and eating is often only thought of in the mind vaguely. In the process of eating, our pattern making and habits can easily be concealed inside our minds. An example is, eating anything that is thrown in front of you, and performing the function as a way to get on with one's life or day. This type of habit is dangerous because it usually lacks variety, is based on convenience, it is often done too quickly, and the amount of water intake has not been seriously considered. Food is a gift to the body and must be consumed conservatively for an entire life. Your whole life represents thousands of pounds of food. Where is the balance of the life path and why is it not considered? If this knowledge is discerned, one will find in a life path, the less food that passes through, the better the path. It is much easier to discover you have lost weight and should eat more as the other way around. Gaining weight is easy to do with highly packed energy foods, so we push in the wrong direction as seen from the physical effects prevalent in American society. To correct health problems, one needs a clearer understanding of the basics of all the planet consumables, not just food, and with this information, can avoid trying to fix health problems by adding another system outside factor, or another chemical into the mix, which can never correct the original problem created, and in most cases, creates more, moving you farther away from your original intention you had in your mind.
We consume more air than imaginable based on volume, but only briefly use it, and possibly, breath most of the same air several time local to our position, no matter what it contains. Sleep has the least priority of the three while the air is still a primary function. Air, water, and food must all be as natural as possible, meaning free of man-made effects. The manipulation of food genetically is only playing with mother nature and more than often a bad idea for an existing system needing an overhaul. We as a society should also re-evaluate our agriculture systems of which are losing a war on this planet. A large portion of our human calorie intake consists of prairie grasses such as wheat and rice. [5] This food comes from land that is relatively flat without slopes which causes erosion. Erosion is a major problem for our planet compared to the population and available land that is not challenged. We have not expanded our species beyond even realizing our denied dilemma before us. If societies were forced to regain knowledge pertaining to a better understanding of the food of the land, some of our children just might survive, some of them. Unfortunately, they are the one's who will pay the price for our existing go faster foolishness.
