toxic food – The Burning Platform

You just had to know that picture is from a K-Mart.

Pass the fries and let’s have some Cheetos for dessert. Corporate processed toxic shit marketed as food to the ignorant masses with no self control mechanism has done wonders. Mega-corporations make billions poisoning you and then other Mega-corporations sell you drugs to “treat” the poisoning. They wouldn’t possibly stop selling the poison or curing the disease. That would drastically reduce profits.

Adult obesity now exceeds 30% of the population in 20 U.S. states. In 2014, the rates of obesity surpassed 35% in three states — Arkansas (35.9%), West Virginia (35.7%) and Mississippi (35.5%) — 22 states have rates above 30%, 45 states are above 25%, and every state is above 20%. Arkansas has the highest adult obesity rate at 36%, while Colorado has the lowest at 21%, according to an annual report, “The State of Obesity,” released by Trust for America’s Health, a Washington, D.C. health policy group, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to public health. The data show that 23 of 25 states with the highest rates of obesity are in the South and Midwest.

This is a dramatic shift from previous generations. In 1980, no state had a rate above 15%, and in 1991, no state had a rate above 20%. Today, more than 30% of adults, nearly 17% of 2- to 19-year-olds, are obese.

Suck it fat asses. Pennsylvania didn’t make the top ten.

This story is making me hungry.

The average woman now weighs what an average man weighed in 1960. Who says women don’t have equal rights?

I find it fascinating that our weight started soaring at the exact same time that consumer debt began soaring in the early 1980’s. Corporate fascism and the banking cabal captured our economic system and used their propaganda machine to sell toxic processed chemicals, disguised as food, to the increasingly dumbed down and sedated masses. TV, iGadgets, carbohydrate rich corporate carb enriched crap, and suburban sprawl requiring autos to get anywhere have combined to create the Obese States of America.

Who benefits?

The mega-corporations peddling toxic faux food.

The medical industrial complex peddling pills to treat all the ailments created by the toxic faux food.

The bankers supplying the debt to consume the faux food and pay for the pills to treat the symptoms.

He ain’t heavy, he’s your obese brother.
