In Defense of Junk Monsters

Fast Food, the type distributed by commercial corporations, exemplified by McDonalds, is not really food, but slow poison served in tasty eatable bulk.

Food is defined as any nutritious substance that people eat or drink to maintain life and health. Fast junk food maintains neither health or life. It simulates the eating process and stimulates taste receptors, but provides neither hunger relief or nourishment. By depriving the eater of nourishment while injecting real and artificial sugars, vicious fats and a flood of chemicals, it creates hunger that hides in waiting behind a fooled filled stomach.

Although no signs warn the customers of the dangers to their health (as are required on tobacco products), eating at fast food restaurants daily will kill more surely and faster than smoking daily.

Rather than list and detail the extensive amount of junk and chemicals in a Big Mac & Co, it should be enough to mention that the bun and burger do not deteriorate. Put them in a cupboard for weeks, months and even years and they will look basically the same as when they were bought. Bugs don’t want them. Bacteria doesn’t want them. Even mold and other microorganisms avoid them. This, I believe, is rather general knowledge. Why would any sane person voluntarily eat this junk and feed it to their children?

Sane and sane! The corporate directors peddle their products for profit. This is understandable. Profit sheets blind them to other considerations, be it people or nature. The mommies and daddies on the other hand are not understandable. Who jeopardizes their child’s health for any reason?

Although millions of junk eaters still walk and drive into the junk ”food” joints throughout the world, their numbers are declining and both McDonalds and Coca-Cola, to name two flagships, are struggling with falling numbers. Let’s, for the sake of the health of our children, hope this trend will continue and accelerate.
