So Many Healthy Food Replacements

Fast food is destroying the healthy America we all know and love... well the one we used to all know. Now I fear a healthy America is all but forgotten.

There are still those of us who know that we have to change a few things about our food and bodies, but the vast majority of the United States are throwing their lives away right through a fast food. How can we stop this and become a healthy nation again.

Well because commercial success is greatly rewarded in the U.S., people who create something everyone wants are going to make a lot of money, and if they are smart they can use that money to increase or expand their business; this is capitalism. Luckily, we have a great president Mr. Obama who is working to change all that.

Obama is doing all he can, but we have to help too. We are just facilitating growth of these devilish corporations; we have to start finding food in other places.

French fries, those are a very popular side that people will regularly eat with burgers or sandwiches or pretty much anything. They are basically fatty starches that are deep fried in grease and pumped full of preservatives.

These preservatives are basically poisonous chemicals, what they do is kill bacteria from growing on the foods. That may sound like a good thing, but it actually has some pretty negative repercussions.

See bacteria is neccasary there are good kinds and bad kinds, we need the good kinds to break down the bad ones. These preservatives do more than just prevent bacteria from breaking down the foods, but they also stop the body from being able to digest or metabolize the food either.

This results in major weight gain, and can be detrimental to health. A healthy alternative to French fries would be a good sweat potato.

These are much healthier packed full of nutrients and fiber that you won't get from regular taters. Plus they have a much more seasonal type of taste to them; they don't taste like a bland piece of snot with a bit of crust wrapping round it.

Instead of eating hamburgers you could fry yourself up some fish. Not eating hamburgers is probably going to help you a lot.

If you ate a fish instead of a hamburger every time you were hungry you would be a skinny healthy person. Fish gives you all sorts of lean protein and a lot of other nutrients too, specifically ones that benefit your brain.

So stop eating fast food for the sake of America. Most everyone can qualify for food stamps so if money is an issue just get those.
