I always get a kick when 'country people' refer to everyone else dismissively as city people, as if that actually explains anything or nullifies what we actually know. Sorry, but no matter where you live, a bad diet and and poor exercise habits does the same thing everywhere, and that exists in the country as well. You can go to some rural places and see alot of pastey and soft looking bodies, like a grub, and people just don't look all too healthy. Since I've lived in both, I have an idea what people look like other than just having such a narrow frame of reference.

Eating too much, and in partiular some of the foods that we subsist on- high energy processed foods is some of the worst things you can do to yourself. Smoking and drinking are often to blame, but the effects of eating can jeopardize your health just the same- why wouldn't it? This is the fuel that your cells get energy from and the basis from which your body replenishes and reproduces from. You wouldn't necessarily drink a chemical dye on its own, but you consume it anyway when it's put in foods to make it look appealing.





That makes no sense. There really is something wrong with that statement. Now, in the past, people didn't live long enough to get some of these conditions, it's true. They weren't being felled by a lot of the condtions that people have now, it was something else doing it- like primitive medical attention, being worked to death, and so on. But how you go from that to believing that processed foods are suddenly ok is not a good conclusion.

I don't propose a cause and effect relationship, otherwise I would get some health problem the moment I smoked one cigarrette or ate a single Twinkie - there's also other things, like your overall living habits, genetics and so on, which combined aggravates one another. But doing that consitently, as people tend to do over the course of several years- the damage to your body accumulates. If you want to age faster and physically look older your chronological age, then that's what you want to do- eat these foods as often as possible, and try and get as little exercise as possible.

As anyone heard of this place in Las Vegas- The Heart Attack Grill? People have actually had heart attacks right there and then sitting and eating one these ridiculous hamburgers. Their mascot actually died within the last couple of months from a heart attack at the restaurant in front of customers. It's your metabolism and your immune system's ability to absorb the damage and keep cancer and other disease held in check- but when you damage those things with poor eating, you're going to become more susceptible. Maybe not now or tommorow, but sooner rather than later.

If I were to do it, I would feel like crap afterwards, but I probably wouldn't have a heart attack, I'm not ashamed to say I'm quite healthy and fit. But someone more or less eats like that all the time and doesn't get much exercise, well they increase the odds. This is not some weird agenda, this not ignorance due to not living in the country, whatever that means, this what people do to their bodies. It's like the old maxim "You are what you eat." You really are- you eat junk, and that's what your body replenishes itself with, that's the fuel for your cells, and yet people still think that there's no correlation there at all.
