24 Reasons American children are world's fattest.. but things are changing
24 Reasons American children fat
WEIGHT LOSS IS COMING
12 Solutions


American fast food reaches Africa


Why were American children the world's fattest while our trees are skinny?
But the tide is turning. Americans
are beginning to lose weight despite:

1. The dairy lobby is federally subsidized.. 1/4 billion annually.. to promote
milk designed to make a calf into a 1000 pound animal in a few months.
This food was not designed for human beings.
http://www.notmilk.com
The Swiss owned Nestle's conglomerate promotes
cows' milk for human babies.
2. Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and other
tv advertised and heavily marketed
antidepressants cause long term
weight gain. Those
not taking prescription drugs are subjected to
these compounds which contaminate the water supply from the urine of those programmed to take the drugs.
Tranquilizers like valium,
antiinflammatories like prednisone and antiseizure medications
also cause long term obesity.
http://www.netnutritionist.com/fa12.htm
3. The food advertised is high animal protein and animal fat
food.. which isocaloric studies by Mervyn Hardinge MD (while at Harvard
before he like Mad Cow discoverer Prusiner left that institution because
of its meat investments)
indicate will make a nonvegetarian
23 lbs. heavier than a vegan after
3 months given the same number of daily calories.
http://www.pcrm.org
Conversely, the Atkins and other
high animal protein diets cause
a sudden weight loss. Then
participants reach a plateau and
cannot lose further weight. Atkins
died weighing around 260 pounds
after a cerebral stroke which
caused his fall.
4. parents who allow a lifestyle
of tv and internet without exercise
sunlight and fresh air
5. some school systems still have
Coke, Pepsi and other high sugar
colas in vending machines
http://fruitarians.blogspot.com
6. USDA dominated school lunch programs promote
trash animal products, with little
in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables.
http://www.meatout.org
7. The WIC program (Women Infant
Children of the animal agribusiness
dominated USDA) is another dairy subsidy
giving the poor obesity engendering
dairy products.
http://www.vrg.org
8. Convenience stores and gas stations sell junk cola, potato and corn
chips, candy bars, cows' milk and no fruit and vegetables.
http://www.goveg.com
9. Small farmers and their markets are forced out of business by
chain stores with the help of the USDA.
10. The Food Network, The Rachael Ray
Show, and other
tv shows for their multi tirllion dollar
meat fish and dairy agribusiness
clients promote cooking with
carcinogenic, stroke engendering
high fat foods. Rachael Ray would
throw bacon on icecream if she
could as she shills for NY butchers.
http://www.vegweb.com
11.
The Swedish dairy lobby of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, represented by
the Diebold installed Senator Coleman as
well as Feingold and Kohl and with the constant ads of Minnesota
"Public" Radio
promotes a racist disregard for the
natural milk intolerance of Africans,
Asians and other cultures. In addition, a Vermont tv stations has
a weekly ice cream promotion show, despite the correlation of
hormone containing icecream to prostate, uterine, cervical, and
breast cancer.

http://www.veganoutreach.org
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/votefraud.html
12. Despite objections from the
European Union, American agribusiness
has forced its way in giving
female hormones and water retainers
to animals, with the dosage upped
before slaughter. These hormones
and water retention chemicals
continue to act in humans, causing
weight gain and planting cancer
seeds.
13, Decadent gorging on the murdered
causes waste, obesity, animal agony,
and in some cases choking
http://www.nathansfamous.com/nathans/contest/
14. Alcohol is fattening and causes
teen and other deaths, cirrhosis
of the liver, busted families,
domestic battering etc. yet Coors,
funder of the warpromoting Heritage
Foundation, also advertises alcohol
on radio
as early as 11 am on weekdays
15. The cultures in which people
absorb the most sunlight tend
to be the most slender. The energy
of the sun replaces the inferior
energy of food. It comes in numberless
frequencies, each body taking
what he or she likes. Americans do
not stay in the sun as much as many
other cultures.
16.
In addition Americans adopted the
English fatmaking breakfast, high
in meat and dairy, not the
French breakfast. France has
a low average weight.
17.
Americans are subjected to more food ads than any other people.. Fast
food ads have accounted for over 100 billion in advertising revenue.
A Canadian study reports that tv watchers eat more than non tv watchers.
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/070602/x060202A.html
http://www.mcspotlight.org
18. We may be addicted to coffee,
but it is for many an appetite
stimulant
19.
Corporations, grocery chains,
and a very
strong restaurant association
have saturated many foods with
gratuitous fattening and toxic
animal products.
Farmers' associations, 4H clubs, Oscar Mayer
program children. School curricula are sometimes created
by the dairy lobby. School lunches are animal product laden.
20. Judge Holwell and other
unelected judges have sided
with the fast food industry
in rulings on calorie postings,
liability of fast food chains for fat etc
21. A liver filled with poisonous molecules such
as insecticide, preservative, hormone and other residues
is less able to burn fat.
22. The animal flesh industry through illegal corporate influence
in the NY and other schools sponsors social studies courses
which promote animal flesh, studies promoted by the
school administration and even the teachers' unions which
historically resisted corporate influence. These courses
make children fatter, and the 'nutrition' taught is full of lies.
The meat industry also secretly funds books such
as The Compassionate Carnivore.
23. Writers such as Nina Planck, nutritionists from meat
invested schools such as Columbia, Harvard, Univesity of
Texas, and deceased animal protein promoters who died
before their life expectancy should have been (Dr Atkins,
Dr Stillman, etc) have been paid or programmed to promote
purloined animal flesh.
24. Rising food prices as money is diverted from America
to bombing babies overseas has put fresh fruits and vegetables
out of the reach of many.



TRUTHFUL CLICHES FOR WEIGHT LOSS

1. exercise more
2. eat fewer calories (a journey
of a 1000 miles begins with
a single abstention from biting)
3. eat more fruits and vegetables
(vegans weigh 23 lbs less than
nonvegetarians and 11 lbs
less than vegetarians after 3 months
in isocaloric studies) www.pcrm.org
4. eat more uncooked food (more fiber
... more food eliminated)
5. when faced with a mental stimulus
to eat...
some go out and walk
6 others repeat their favorite one of
the infinite names of God
7. still others believe the illusion
of hunger is thirst.. and drink
much water
http://www.watercure2.org/
8. Salt retains water in the body,
adding to weight. Lemon juice
dressings are one salt substitute.
9. Caffein stimulates the appetite
unnecessarily.
10. Shop when not hungry.
11. keep a log of what is eaten
and the estimated calories
12. Community is necessary.
Overeaters often isolate themselves.

SOLUTIONS BESIDES GIVING CHILDREN A VEGAN DIET
1. Alcohol and cigarette ads have been banned on tv. Animal flesh
and products cause more deaths annually than tobacco, alcohol, war,
traffic deaths combined. It's time to ban tv, radio, and billboard advertising
of meat, dairy and fish which cause cancer, heart disease, stroke,
food poisoning, kidney dysfunction, arthritis etc.
2. Count calories. Set a daily limit. Keep a log of calories eaten.
3. Be informed about the greedy pharmaceutical, germ ridden hospital,
and multitrillion dollar animal agribusiness connections of the CDC
which through Atlanta's prosecutor persecutor Boring has
crucified a vegan couple while ignoring the millions of deaths
annually from animal products.

OTHER PROBLEMS WITH DAIRY

1. American agribusiness allow
carcinogenic female hormones made
by Merck and other companies to
be given to cows and other animals.
The European Union banned these
hormones because of their known
cancer causing properties, as the
US government long ago banned
diethylstilbestrol. However multitrillion
dollar animal abusers took the EU
to the WTO, a servant of moneyed
interests, which ruled against
people's health.
2. Dairy products cause a mucus
lining of the respiratory tract, creating
colds, flu, etc.
3. Salmonella, brucellosis are 2
of thousands of diseases from animal
products.
4. Food poisoning: 97% of all
food poisoning fatalities are animal
product related, reported Knight
Ridder.

Why are our trees skinny?
The regime dominated Forest Service
has caused the logging in some
places 3! times of the people's trees.

SOLUTIONS

Cows' milk is worst for the animals,
humans and earth. Soymilk is
better but is still a factor in
deforestation. Almond milk, coconut
milk etc. are best for animals, humans,
earth.

TREATMENT OF COWS IN DAIRY FARMS AND FACTORY FARMS

In Chino California
6500 cows
suffocated as they
sank into the mud

In North Dakota untold
numbers froze and
suffocated in
20 foot high snow drifts.

In southern Ohio
a cow slipped on mud.. her back legs
went both ways.. she was split up
the middle and left there over
several days to die

In Maryland cows
are electroshocked away
from their babies.. stolen
to be butchered as veal

In Vermont cows have
infection encrusted udders
as they bleed from
milking machines

In Kentucky, a downed
cow was kicked repeatedly
and pulled off the truck
with ropes

In West Virginia, a truck
filled with cows was in
an accident. 75 cows
spilled down the mountainside.

In Colorado, the
winter wind rips through
the slats at 81 mph
as the
slaughterhouse bound animals
huddle iin trucks speeding
through mountain passes.

In Texas, trains full
of cowssuffocating from
heat.. have downers
.. 4 d animals..
dead dying diseased
debilitated.

At New York's "stock"
exchange they
hide the truth
of Mad Cow
to try to protect
the Mad Cow Dow

In Kansas untold
millions of cows have
frozen in blizzards

In Wisconsin, after
a lifetime of giving
a lifetime of slavery
exhausted old "milk" cows
are sent to slaughter
for fast food chain hamburgs.

In Minnesota, 'dairy' cows
are given food (not feed..
a chauvinist term) with
animal products in it..
causing Mad Milk.

In Oklahoma cows'
ears are stapled with numbers

In Wyoming, bulls
are castrated

In Iowa the smoke
from the branding irons
of cows rises to God
and asks for mercy

In the land around
Yakima Washington
.. lived a 4 year old
little girl.. what
was the name of this
little "mad cow"?

What have been the names
of the billions of cows
who have gone to their deaths
terrified in Illinois?

In Pennsylvania pharmaceutical
labs calves were slashed..
and smallpox sprayed
on their gashes

in a few weeks the gashers
come back
and plane off the scab.. and grind it into powder..
powder which contained BLV or bovine leukemia virus
.. the same disease as HTLV except in a different species

In Calgary, little calves
are slammed to the ground
their necks and legs breaking
in a rodeo called the Calgary
Stampede

In every state in the union
cows are electroshocked,
are bleeding, are kicked,
are pulled off trucks
are pulled from their babies

1. I am not sure I buy much of this
In my travels in europe especially in France and Portugal where the diet has an abundance of meat and plenty of cream sauces and wine is served with meals, I did not see much in the way of obesity. I lived in the Azores Islands and noted the same. I think it is HFCS and inactivity that is the culprit. I think the car cultrue is also a big part of the problem as in other countries more people walk.

2. Have you watched how much pop kids drink?
And we're supposed believe they're fat because of that little teeny carton of milk?

Pfft.

3. Inactivity mostly
you can get away with eating less than healthy foods as long as you get outside every now and then. But that would require supervision and the possibility that your kid might scrap a knee.

And #15 is ridiculous.
