Some Sort of War.

The fast-food industry is always fighting something and someone about how they are alright to eat and they aren't a cause to weight issues, and health problems.

But infact they are a cause and a help to that problem.

I watched the movie "Super size me" again(its been a while)
in the movie Morgan Spurlock eats only Mcdonalds for thirty days for every meal, three meals a day, only drinking soda and only super sizing the meal if they asked him to.  Sounds simple right?  Well yes, it is a simple thing to do and start, but he also walked under a mile a day every day for the month.
Now, most people would say that its a ridiculous diet to take on and it may be a little crazy.

Yes it is, but the only reason he did the whole reaserch project was to show people the effects it has for lack of exercise and a consumption of artificial foods and by products of food that is processed and changed in many ways.
As opposed to its Mcdonalds or anyother fast-food joints fault to the cause of health problems.
The film was about eating healthier, getting more unprocessed foods and to start not consume as much as we do and as much as we want to.


So I saw another movie which was a follow up to "Super size me" the movie "Fat head".
The movie is a reply saying the fast food in a moderation is alright, which is alright once in a while,
but this movie totally takes away from the point of eating healthy.  Saying that, fast food is alright and even ok to eat a few times a week.  So what was any of his points?
He started off saying that fast food in moderation is alright, so everyday he is eating food from different resturant chains for every meal for a whole month. But theres a problem,
One. He goes to different chains everyday
Two. He is limiting what he is eating every day
Three. He is also exercising everyday saying he can lose weight on a fast-food diet; as opposed to what Spurlock did which was exersised less while on his diet.

So what Tom Naughton is saying is that some of the trans fats and these artifical products are good for you to consume.  The other thing he is saying is that these "Low Fat" "Low cholesterol" products are bad for you and saying that the whole point of "Super size me" was to get you to use these "All natural" products Which is not true.  Morgan was saying the more natural fats is better than artifical fats, in fact Morgan is not a vegan, he eats meat and enjoys meat, but in Fat head, he was saying that he is claiming that fast-food and all these artifical products and by products of meat and other various foods is infact better for us?
I would like to say its not.

In "Super size me" he was saying that eating at those places makes you want to eat at that restaurant, makes you want specific food from that place.  And that the food is addicting and makes you want to have them and you crave them more.  In fact i believe this is true.
In "Fat head" he took those more literally, He went to several different restaurants and stood outside the restaurant to see if they would make him eat the food they sold.  Without a doubt anyone with a brain would know that no one would force him to eat the food, in fact no one would suggest he go inside and order food.
In his movie he kept saying something about having a brain and being smart, but in fact who would go out of their way to talk to him.  So brain yes, smart about that no.
After that he went to a drive through ordered some food, and than asked "would you force me to eat your food?".  Really?  Thats how you come to the conclusion that they do not make you eat their food.

The problem in "Fat head" is he says they dont make you eat their food, and that its all because we dont have self control and that makes us "Stupid" in a sense.
But Tom ate at different restaurants for every day, and he also exersised everynight and didnt drink soda,
Whereas Morgan ate at the same restaurant every day, hardly exersised and only drank soda.
He wanted more of the food(addicted) more of the same food(addicted) felt sick at some points when he didnt eat enough food(addicted) and gained weight because of it.
Tom, drank tea, water, sugar free lemonade and diet coke.
Portioned his meals to about 2000 calories a day and exersised everyday for at least an hour a day.
So on top of having portioned meals, hardly to no soda, eating at different restaurants and exercising every day, that made him lose weight.

So you tell me which sounds like more of a scam.
Eating at the same place every day for three meals a day, no exercise no portion guideline and only drinking soda.
Or eating at different fast food restaurants so he cant get addicted to the food they have there, having a meal plan and calorie guide line, exercising everyday and drinking low sugar, low calorie beverages.
That sounds like one big scam to me.

How The Lonely keep and the Lovely fall.

Our generation today, bought by television, music, movies and books; have this vision in their headsof, what they are supposed to have, look like and to become.  Moreso none of it is relevant nor is it realistic of what life actually is.  I can say without a doubt, this is a selfish generation, but not only does it effect kids and teenagers, but most adults as well.  Working is now a punishment, having money is an accomplishment, and finding your group of people is what will make you happy, let alone will get you by to survive.  Contrary to popular belief, the american dream does not exist, nor will it ever. 

"The American Dream, sometimes in the phrase "Chasing the American Dream," is a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes a promise of the possibility of prosperity and success." (Taken from Wikipedia)

Already in what that sentence states is a Promise that you if you believe in, will bring you prosperity and success on all levels of life.
But we all know a promise can be broken, as well as a possiblity or potential that in life you will have money and be a successful what ever you choose to do.  But both those things are not a guarrantee that you will succeed in doing so.  In fact, if the american dream were possible, than why are so few people doing it?  Are they failing in some way?  Do they lack what it needs to make this dream possible?  In fact, so many people do have the go, and the needs to make these things happen.  They all have potential to do and make this "American Dream" a reality.  But sadly if something does not exist then it is not relevant, you can not make this thing a reality.  For some yes, the succeed, they do something and make something out of themselves. For others, no they cannot nor will not have a go at things and make something of themselves.  Or what life throws at them takes them aback from making this dream real. 


If theres a 50/50 shot at making something of myself, then why havent I been set up to do so already?
If there was any chance at some point in my life to even have a slight chance at the American Dream, wouldnt I have taken it?  Never will I understand why the blind lead the blind, nor will I understand why believing in nothing seems to be popular.  Cause believing in nothing is a pretty scary thing, it also ends up taking the focus on something, mostly others away from them(not that the focus should be on others. But the focus on ones self is a lonely one), and takes the look on something anything, and puts a disgusting focus on myself.

If this American Dream, wasnt such a scam, maybe I'd go for it.
But as goes for me, I dream of better things than money and success.
Let alone.
I don't believe in nothing.


The American Dream is nothing.

Bought with blood.

Psalm 44:3 -
"We didn’t fight for this land;

we didn’t work for it—it was a gift!

You gave it, smiling as you gave it,

delighting as you gave it."

This is going to sound very controversial...
But none the less.

I read that verse and I immediately thought of Jesus dying on the cross. Starting off with lash upon lash, ripping flesh from the bone,  the flesh of someone who only came to save us but was persucuted for what he wasn't and didn't do.  He took the whole punishment, every time they hit him, every time they spit on him, every time they mocked him. Going through a trial of a crime he didn't even commit; being betrayed by one of his closest friends.  Being denied by another of who he was so the man would have a status to not be known as the follower of the Christ. Getting traded for a liar, all within a short period of time. Getting tormented by this world, by this flesh, keeping his cool while getting beat and bruised, battered up for doing nothing but preaching his fathers word. Taking a crown of thorns and bearing it, as a mock of who he is and who his God his father is. Having to carry his own cross(with some help at one point) all the way to where he would he be killed.  Being layed upon a rough surfaced wood cross, bleeding all over it; getting splinters in his already broken flesh and then getting three nails in his hands and his feet.  Being lifted up and hanging there to die, bleeding in front of hundreds,  Being mocked still. "If you say who you are, send angels down to get you". This was yet another test of the flesh; like when he and Satan were in the desert and he tempted him to turn rocks into bread. He denied the all and tempting, and now he denied the people and let this be an end to his time here on earth.  He said "My God why have you forsaken me?" being part of the God-Head, he knew why, and knew God was not forsaking him, But bringing him closer so we can grow closer to him. I would think that right as he said those words, My name came into his head.  everyones name came into his head. He thought of every single person, every sinful person and smiled.. Smiled at how much he loves you.. I mean. He could have stopped this torment at anytime,  But he bore those scars, he took all that pain, all for us. All for you and all for me.  I think that He smiled thinking about how much he loves us, And said and thinks.. It was worth it... Smiling saying, It was worth it...
