Obesity is Rampant in the United States

FAST FOOD INDUSTRY IS CORPORATE ASSISTED SUICIDE

The garbage food industry dovetails nicely with the medical-industrial complex. You spend the first 50 to 60 years of your life filling the garbage food merchants' coffers and then the rest of your life paying expensive doctors to hand you very expensive pills.

Some people aren't that lucky and don't make it that long. Other get smart and opt out. In case you have any doubts, this is what the typical American diet does to the human body. Your body. Here is the entire story in the full-length movie, SUPER SIZE ME. Sit back, get out the popcorn and enjoy!

Child Obesity is a Criminal Corporate Conspiracy

We are all aware that America has gone fat. Obesity is rampant. I remember when I was in school. It was pretty rare to have overweight kids in class. Looking back on my old elementary school pictures, I see one person who could be considered obese among several class pictures. It was a rare occurrence. Today, it is estimated that around 1/3 of our school children suffer from obesity. Why? Simple. It's a corporate conspiracy.

Did you know that public schools actually teach kids to eat hamburgers, bacon, fries and cokes as a way to control their weight?

Would it surprise you that Coca-Cola and McDonald's spend millions on "educational materials" for schools?

Don't kid yourself that eating junk is good for you just because the calories are low. Nature gave us plenty of foods that are perfect for health. We owe it to our kids to teach them the difference between garbage and real food, don't we? Ever heard of fruits and vegetables?

Here is a short 2-minute video made by a middle school child that tells the story better than I can.

Portugal Decriminalizes Drugs and Drug Usage Declines

You Deserve a Break Today -- We Do it All for You -- I'm Lovin' It

Those who oppose the decriminalization of drugs or at the very least, marijuana, won't like this report.

Eight (8) years ago Portugal decriminalized the usage of all drugs and the results have been astounding. According to a new report entitled, “Drug Decriminalization in Portugal: Lessons for Creating Fair and Successful Drug Policies,” while drug use across the European Union has risen steadily since 2000, Portugal, which has the most liberal drug laws of any country, has actually seen its prevalence rates decrease in various age groups since it decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Prevalence rates measure how many people have consumed drugs over the course of their lifetime.

“I think it’s bizarrely underappreciated what’s been done in Portugal,” said Salon writer Glenn Greenwald, who authored the report. Greenwald, who speaks fluent Portuguese, traveled to Portugal in 2008 to study the affects of drug decriminalization in the country.

Because drugs were not legalized outright in Portugal, violations of laws prohibiting drug possession for personal usage are now merely treated as administrative offenses and carry with them no criminal charges. Drug trafficking, however, continues to be prosecuted as a criminal offense in the country.

Compared to the low to moderate levels of drug use in Portugal since decriminalization went into effect, the majority of EU states have drug use rates that are double and triple that of Portugal today, according to the report.

Greenwald, who presented his findings at a Friday event at the Cato Institute, which sponsored the writing of the report, noted that the United Kingdom and Estonia, EU nations with some of the harshest criminalization laws, also have the highest cocaine usage rates in the EU.

“None of the fears promulgated by opponents of Portuguese decriminalization has come to fruition, whereas many of the benefits predicted by drug policymakers from instituting a decriminalization regime have been realized," writes Greenwald in the report. "While drug addiction, usage, and associated pathologies continue to skyrocket in many EU states, those problems—in virtually every relevant category—have been either contained or measurably improved within Portugal since 2001.”
