Can't be any worse than Jack in the Box serving up Kangaroo meat during the early '80's.... priceless. Wait... does Horse qualify as game meet? Just Sayin'

I love fast food. My favorite is BK, but you gotta special order a burger so they make it fresh. Love fries, burgers, those little mcnuggets. Did anyone ever try a Holiday Pie? OMG.

McyD's has about the best coffee I've ever had in my life.

I stopped eating fast food about 3 months ago because I just didn't want to spend the money on it any more. I don't feel any better or worse and I haven't gained or lost any weight. Don't miss it or crave it. And you're talking to a guy that drove 40,000 miles a year for work and lived off fast food for 20 years.

I really think all the hype about feeling like crap when you eat it is all in people head's.

It's almost impossible to find food without preservatives in it now days ... and look how much longer people are living these days compared to the days when people grew their own food.



A&W is more down south here in the U.S. Stewart's Root Beer is another similar place. But here in the Mid West ... Sonic. It's almost like pulling in to Al's Drive In.

Try the produce section.

produce section=pesticides, herbicides and other such things.

go organic...grow your own in fresh soil...

I limit fast food to just once a week because for the most part I prefer to roll my own; I like to cook up favorites such as; 

Yukon Gold potatoes, Carrots and Sweet Potatoes 'oven baked' in a cast iron skillet... comes out crispy golden!  

Oven roast a slab of Rib Eye, so simple yet so fricken delicious! 

Pork Butt, oh yeah baby; first off I give it a good hard slap and then marinate it overnight in my own special blend before I cook it,. No kidding; it comes out so juicy and tender you can easily eat it with a fork. 

Burgers; so easy; first up get quality beef; the color should be a deep red (NOT PINK) hand-make patties (easily done) and slap them on a cast iron grill with a little salt and pepper. Not over seasoning it retains it's natural 'beefy' flavor. 

All my cast iron cookware is very well pre-seasoned so nothing sticks to it....  just tonight I cooked up Crab Cakes with Sweet and Gold Potatoes clean cuts all baked together on a very large cast iron griddle (also a pizza pan) it all came out crispy golden! So easy to cook all that in less than 30 minutes. Love it! 

For breakfast; I love becan (fat cooked out and strained on paper towels), scrambled eggs and left-over potatoes (diced) and finally topped with gravy.  It's so fulfilling and satisfying it may as well be a brunch!  But hey, I only have this once a week, other times it's a bowl of healthy fiber cereal or toast with honey, or all fruit spread or that Aussie icon; Vegemite, and I love to wash all that down with a cup of good imported tea. 

In summer, hard to beat a fresh salad that contains more than just green mulch; I need to have cherry tomatoes, sliced sweet beets (the purple juice doubles up as the dressing), carrots, alfalfa, cheese and either 'real' lean becan pieces or diced ham.

trimph is right, it's all dowsed with all kinds of chemicals.

Plus some of it is Irradiated. Supposedly 100% safe, and recommended according to the USDA and FDA of course.

It's not like they inject the "stuff" into the vegetables and fruits... the way they do with the meat that ends up in the meat counter.


My guess, and this is coming from a live long whole foods organic food enthusiast, is that the commercial grade produce in the supermarket is doused with a lot less stuff than you think it is.


All that stuff costs money and most farmers use a little as they can get away with.


The real problem, for me, is that produce is usually picked to early so that there is time for transport before it rots.


That's why local gardens are so superior... you can eat the food while it still has a breath of life in it.










I had some of the best lettuce EVER the other day... it was picked about 20 minutes before we ate it as a simple salad. Yummmmm.












It seems like you are using some factual information about mild food processing techniques to justify exposing your self to the worst food processing as if it's all comparable.












Here's another small nutrition factoid. Some of the most nutritious vegetables in a super market are in the freezer section... because they are picked when ripe and processed in refrigeration units right in the actual field... and so retain more nutrition that many "fresh" products that were picked to early and sold when stale.














I think that people who eat well can instantly notice the impact of bad food on their systems. That's how my body is working if I continue to eat well I feel great, if I eat junk food I feel junky almost immediately.

People whom have destroyed their systems with years of bad food aren't going to be made to feel well simply by eating good food... they need to fix all the damage done by the years of bad food before feeling better... and some of that stuff isn't fixable.








The recently acquired pastime of swallowing high fructose corn syrup in mass quantities is going to blow out a bunch of livers with irreversible damage... just like it happens with alcoholics.














Having said that... It seems like a good fresh piece of Horse meat can be pretty healthy.


Do horses have Filet Mignon or stuff like that?








Good times.
