Fast Food Industries Continue to Spread Obesity

According to a report from Taipei, Taiwan, a certain fast food company - McDonald's - is adding to the obesity problem by taking it to Asia. Employees are taught to ask customers if they want to "Supersize" their order. This helps increase sales and revenue by "luring" customers into the "better deal."

This means more fat consumption and more soft drink consumption. And here's to the Director General of Director General of Taichung County's Public Health Bureau - he "will release a study next month which says over 30 percent of Taiwanese boys aged six to 12 are overweight or obese" and that "increased portion sizes and "upsizing" at fast food restaurants, are part of the problem." You won't hear that in America! Too much corporate influence and political contribution keeps them under wraps.

The truth is very evident and at the same time, sad. While no one wants to take responsibility, it is very clear that the companies with the largest influence are the first to take the most blame. And while responsibility first lies with personal choice before any one product or products are to blame, there must be a clearer message sent to children in schools and the general public, that the foods and drinks with the highest concentration of (unhealth) calories comes from fast foods and soft drinks. The money spent influencing consumer choices is so great that there may need to be some sort of governmental 'regulations' over the calorie and quality of the foods and drinks offered. Because there really is no benefit to so many of these foods and drinks (other than avoiding death in a time of total famine!!), then some intervention may not be such a bad thing.

I'm all for free enterprise and the opportunity for companies to create a profit, but NOT when it's at the expense of the health of the people. Take action and write your local and state congressmen and let them know how you feel! And make healthy choices as well!

Obesity not a Poverty Issue

A new study in the UK shows that obesity is not a factor of financial deprivity. In fact, this study shows that those most likely to be overweight are the middle class. The International Journal of Obesity reports, "Children with wealthy middle class parents are more likely to be overweight or obese than those from poor households."

You could make some sense out of this if you made the assessment that poor families don't have enough money to consume an overabundance of calories, that the wealthiest don't have the time and maybe more discipline (which is how a large percentage got to be wealthy), and the middle class are those with two working parents who don't have the time to cook healthy meals and are eating unhealthy meals on the run, while not having enough money to have one parent stay at home to provide such. This is just my view on how these stats could be intrepreted.

However, "no link was found between the number of hours worked by the children's father, or mother's partner, and weight problems," and "the risk of obesity is only 10 percent greater." I don't think that 10% is enough of a percentage likelihood for obesity to raise more concern for that group. This still is a problem of education - like soft drinks and fast food and snacks being responsible for the extra unhealthy calories in most diets of those overweight! Without the message getting out that most fast foods and soft drinks being responsible for a large percentage of the obesity epidemic, the statistics will continue to rise. For starters, I don't see Coca-Cola or McDonald's stock suffering - the two biggest companies providing those calories.

Stick to a diet full of water, fruits and vegetables, and lean meats and you can avoid being a statistic!

Diet Drug Increases Risk of Depression

As if struggling to fight the battle of the bulge doesn't create enough emotional stress, the diet drug Accomplia is now showing signs of adding more stress. It turns out that Accomplia doubles the risk of depression among those 100,000 patients that were studied. The risk gets even worse with those who have been diagnosed with depression.

"This doubling of the risk of depression occurs in all types of patients," the EMEA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) said in the most definitive statement to date quantifying the link between Acomplia and depressive side effects.

The struggle to lose weight creates enough emotional distress that Accomplia becomes more than just a drug to help a dieter, but Russian roulette. Why put yourself at risk by taking a drug that could endanger your life (wait, don't all drugs have that side-effect?)? This all goes back to living with common sense - what seems to be the least common thing! Changing your diet a little bit at a time so as not to overwhelm or "shock" the body when it comes to losing weight, is really the only way, the healthy way, to get back to a 'normal' weight.

Stop looking for shortcuts and just make one change at a time. Don't risk your life on surgical procedures or diet drugs hoping for a quick fix. The only long-term fix is building a healthy lifestyle - one healthy action at a time.

Pardon my language but I have never read more double talk in my life!

Roger A (for absurd?) Clemens of the Institue of Food Technologists basically says "if you can control your cravings you deserve a Nobel Prize". Two things wrong with this Rog, first you totally demeen the Nobel Prize with this statement, secondly--you completely underestimate the power of the human mind and are basically telling people that they have no choice but to eat whatever junk they "crave" because there is NO way to control it". Dude, you couldn't be more wrong and you obviously haven't a clue about losing weight. Every day I meet with people who are successfully controlling their "cravings", controlling their actions and are losing weight--me included! I used to eat icecream EVERY day and haven't had a bite of it in 13 years. So, where''s my Nobel Prize Roger? I guess if you are a food technologist, you would think it is 'all that' but trust me, a determined person will beat a scoop of icecream EVERY time!

Then they say that "it has long been thought that cravings were caused nutritional deficit but that can't be the case if many claim to crave salt but consume more than 2times the recommended sodium daily intake.

So, what is a craving? I define it as simply your body asking for something that it is USED to you giving it. So, to banish a craving, or bust a vice as I call it, you simply get UN-Used to having it! All that a craving is, is a habit folks! A bad habit or "diet vice" and I have seen thousands of people "bust their vices" or break their unhealthy habits and eliminate cravings from their lives permanently.

Permanently that is, unless you take the double talking advice of experts such as Mary Boggiano (quoted in the Forbes article/psychologist from the University of Alabama-Birmingham) .

I can't really follow what exactly she is trying to say, and such confusing "expert" mumbojumbo keeps dieters confused and failing.

See if you can follow her logic:

"Restricting yourself to certain kinds of foods, bland food or even foods you don't like triggers the hedonic appetite. As a result, the brain causes us to crave what we like, especially if like most Americans, you are used to enjoying a variety of foods." (so Mar, should we condone eating unhealthy foods if it is what someone "likes"?)

"A history of dieting and a high stress level may make a person even more sensitive to a craving, causing them to overeat once they get a bite of what they've been longing for" (I am with you on this point Mary!)

But them Mary starts the double talk:

"Ultimately, the key to successfully cutting back is to maintain variety. If you look at the most successful diets they don't leave anything out."

Now Mary, help me out here, you state that once the "dieter" has a BITE of the foods that they long for they overeat, but you are saying that not leaving those foods out is the key to successful dieting? How can you have it both ways?

If we know that a BITE of the "trigger" foods, the "liked" foods or the foods we crave and incite a binge, why then are you recommending that a person wanting to lose weight keep them in their diet?

Let me share a story with you that might enlighten you as to why I am correct and the experts such as Mary who continue to tempt dieters with the vice foods under the guise of "moderation are wrong.

Valerie M. came to me weighing 365 pounds. She was morbidly obese and a diet failure. She tried every diet under the sun and came out weighing more each time when it was all said and done. She thought nothing would ever work for her. Then, she tried Vice Busting. Turns out that Valerie really liked cupcakes and would down a 6pk of Hostess crap cakes a day. She really liked fast food and would typically have one to two meals a day at the local McDonalds or Sonic. She drank a few soft drinks a day and really liked them. Mary would have her include these foods in her "diet", I tossed them out. For 17 months Valerie abstained from her cupcake vice, her fast food vice, her Coca-Cola vice and stated walking on a treadmill, eventually running on it and even entered a marathon!

Over that 17 months she lost and astounding 185 pounds. She even appeared on the Cover of Woman's World magazine promoting her successful transformation. She successfully kept this weight off for the next 3 years--coincidentally, she also continued abstaining from her vice foods/drink. Then, she met a boy--the boy and they decided to get married.

As any bride would do, Valerie decided to go "ON" a 'diet' to get skinny and she her remaining 10 pounds of excess body fat. She chose the Bill Phillips Body of Life program, afterall, the before/after pictures are impressive and who wouldn't want similar results?!

Things went great for her Monday-Saturday the first week; then on Sunday the diet said that she could eat WHATEVER she wanted and in as much quantity as she desired. If Bill said it, it must be ok, so she did and with delight she has a cupcake or 3; drove by and picked up a burger from Sonic and had Coke! Boy did those taste yummy! 4 years without them, 4 years of not craving them, not feeling deprived of them and not missing them but suddenly it was as though she has never been without her once beloved treats.

Monday was a tough day. She kept tasting Sonic on her lips. The cupcakes neatly wrapped in celophane in aisle 5 were literally calling her name and the beads of sweat on the soda can of her coworker paled in comparrison to those on her brow. She was a goner.

Before she knew what happened Sunday continued into Monday and the week sort of became a blur and soon, very soon...65 pounds of formerly shed body fat found their way home again.

The wedding dress that she dreamed of in a size 6 quickly became an 18. She is married now, I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and she is back to busting her vices and is happily down 45 of those 65 pounds but she will tell you even more passionately than I can that Mary and Bill are wrong. You can only contorl your "cravings" when you do just that--CONTROL them and not endulge in the unhealthy foods that are only going to keep your body overweight or get you there quickly.

Moderation is the diet industry's ploy to keep you fat and happy and coming back to buy there fad diets over and over again.

My goal is to literally put myself out of business. If you do it my way, bust your vices and do so permanently you will lose the weight that plagues you and the crazy diet/craving yo-yo cycle that has dogged you will end.

The choice is yours--contineu to try to eat the foods you "love" in moderation or realize that deprivation is NOT living without unhealthy foods but rather continuing to consume them and depriving yourself of the life and body of your dreams!

on my soapbox,
Julia

In March of this year Florida paramedics required three hours, some plywood, two stretchers, and removal of a window to get a 500-pound man out of his home.

Massachusetts paramedics needed rock-climbing equipment, an aerial platform and a U-haul to transport an 855-pound man to hospital.

Now the city of Calgary (Canada) have a $30,000 mechanical system to lift bariatric patients. These units are popping up everywhere and are going to add millions of dollars to health care costs. And people like Michael Moore wonder why the health care system in the US is screwed up?! It's not the system that's the problem, but the people and their own choices! Even he, with his current weight going up, will be on his way to needing the "mechanical system" to lift him up one day when he needs care.

So instead of looking out at the problem(s), look within for the solution. Take an active role to live healthy and you'll beat the system!

4. Avoid all tobacco products.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy start. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Also, there are many weight loss plans out there, but the one that most people agree is the best is a Dr Oz diet approved plan. If you have used a Dr Oz diet, then you know it's a weight loss plan that is healthy, and if followed will lead to a permanent healthy and fit lifestyle!

These are the basics. We have complicated what it means to be healthy and what it takes. Movie maker Michael Moore spins the facts and complains about the US health care system, yet he epitomizes what unhealthy America represents. He's overweight, negative, and doesn't offer any "solution" that is viable. Here is a fact that Moore has used in favor of his case: "In the US, spending per person on health care is approximately $6,000; while spending per person in Cuba is approximately $250." This is part of the case he makes. But understand this: the average Cuban lives almost as long as the average American (within a % of error).

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our Dr Oz diet approved weight loss plan, this is a healthy choice. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get nutrients but many convenient even if you have apple juice. When I can't have healthy and fresh products, juice plus, and juice nsa plus is a way to get health with juice plus vitamin, so if you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence, but it is a problem. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research. Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but a complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. If you have a complaint juice plus, then any distributor juice nsa plus can help you. Juice noni plus is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus.

I ask you this: if you're sick, does it matter if you have to get a $5,000 surgery when it's unneccessary to begin with? If you're prescribed a drug for a problem and that drug creates more problems (i.e. side effects) does that mean you shouldn't have been given that prescription? Are more health problems brought on with our health care system than are fixed? Did you know 80% of patients are going to get better no matter what treatment is done? That would lead me to believe that more health and financial problems are created with prescription drugs and unnecessary procedures - i.e. blood tests, scans, x-rays, biopsies, etc. - than would occur with no care at all.

And by the way, if you load up on health insurance, then your doctors are going to "load up" on the diagnostic tests, procedures, and office visits. If you'd like a good perspective on the US health care system, watch the movie Critical Care starring Albert Brooks and James Spader. Albert Brooks sums up the irony of the health care system in Chapter 17. It's a scene worth watching. He is a head of critical care of the hospital but has no insurance and wants no doctor to "get within 10 feet" of him if he gets sick. He even puts it in his will that none of his money or estate is to be used for health care. His name is Dr. Butz in the movie, and he ends by saying "if you want to die a happy man in your king size bed then just make sure you don't have money for health care."

That may be true. In the end, we all die some day... that is a fact. It's how we choose to live that will ultimately have the biggest influence on how we die.

Wake up America - your health is in your hands! Take action to preserve your body and your mind and you'll live a full and healthy life!

I was driving past the local YMCA the other day and I noticed a counselor walking with a group of children. She was wearing a bright yellow t-shirt with loud green letters that proclaimed "Professional Mentor". I immediately was impressed. I knew nothing about this woman, other than what my eyes could see. I first realized that she obviously cared for children enough to be spending her time caring for them. However, her T-shirt made a much larger statement about her...she wasn't just babysitting them, or watching them, more merely monitoring them...she was mentoring them!

It is one thing to want to be something in life, it is one thing to dream and hope and wish to be something...it is another thing all together to proclaim it in bold green letters on a neon yellow T-shirt for all of the world to see...and to hold you accountable for! Now that it is a known fact that this woman is a Professional Mentor, it is not as though she could very well sit and read a magazine and let the children run amock, or smoke in front of them, use curse words or set other bad examples...she is trying to mentor them and wants everyone to know it. Therefore, her actions must stand true to her proclaimation.

Imagine what doing such a bold move could do for our weight loss efforts. Think about it for a moment, what would you have to do differently in your day if you were wearing a bright yellow T-shirt with "Professional Dieter" on it? If you were to put on your "Professional Dieter" T-shirt and head out into your life, could you do everything, exactly as you usually do it and impress upon people that you were the role model of "dieting"?

You couldn't swing into the local fast food restraurant and order a super sized, lard filled meal of a double dripping burgers, fried potatos and a calorie filled "milk" shake, now could you?! Or you would not look like too successful of "Professional Dieter" if you were to be caught standing outside of the local ice-cream shop licking the melting triple caramel turtle fudge off of your waffle cone, now would you? Imagine the shock of the fellow pizza parlor patrons when they witnessed the town's "Professional Dieter" ordering a thick crust, extra cheese, sausage, bacon and pepperoni extra large pizza...with a diet coke (you are a dieter, after all!).

No, that just wouldn't do would it. The accountability that you would feel to those around you who would be able to assess your actions would be great, if only you had a bright yellow T-shirt to proclaim your mission. Accountability is a great thing, it is a darn shame that we do not have "Professional Dieter" T-Shirts available to wear each day. Short of that, what can we do to instill some accountability, someone to answer to?

I propose to you that we proclaim a national day of weight loss motivation. I querred my readers to see what we could do to draw attention to our special day. The responses that I got were very creative and fun to read. The most popular idea was to wear a ribbon, much like the ribbons that people wear for Breast Cancer or for Aids Research. The majority thought that a yellow ribbon that resembled a piece of tape measure would be the perfect pin for our cause. I couldn't agree more. Recently I found such a ribbon at the local craft store. They had a bolt of yellow tape measure ribbon and I snatched up all that they had remaining. Tirelessly, I have been cutting little pieces of ribbon and forming bows and sticking pins through them (I know what you are thinking...I have too much time on my hands!). I would like to give those ribbons to all of you...but I haven't enough to go around. So, I encourage each of you to head to the craft store, buy a ribbon, make your Weight Loss Motivation pin and wear it. If you can't find any, email me, I will try to send you one (julia@juliahavey.com) When someone asks you what it stands for, tell them! Tell them that you are "Professional Dieter" and then let them watch your habits, lifestyle and see what health looks like in action! After all, with your pin on you wouldn't dare order a supersized meal, now would you?!

and, on that note, being a Professional dieter, doesn't mean being on a diet for the rest of your life--I would like to think it means LIVING HEALTHFULLY everyday, for the rest of your life!

If you are a true PRO, soon the excess weight will be gone and YOU will remain! Keeping being a "pro" and you will keep looking awesome!

Carpe Diet!

I don't know about you, but I was really getting upset seeing her parade around in a bathing suit with that extra 10 pounds on her otherwise perfect body! I mean, really, she is 5'10 and weighs 145 now, up from her perfect bodyweight of 135! I imagine she has even had kids coming up to her in stores and exclaiming "Mommy--that lady is fat!"

Ok, maybe not.

I think it is safe to say that I would think myself the sexiest woman alive if I looked like Rachel Hunter does at this very minute--heck even 10 pounds bigger than she is now! But she wants to lose 10 pounds and has decided to do it the SlimFast way.

Ick!

I was out of town last week and really really hungry and the only options were gas station fast food/junk food or a can of slim fast, I took the slim fast. I almost spit it out, it really is gross! If that is what it took to lose 10 pounds, I would opt to stay "supermodel chubby"--which in my opinion is simply "healthy" but hey, what do I know!

IF you decide to follow Rachel's lead and opt for meal replacements, may I suggest a product that is much better tasting and in comparing the labels of the two, much more nutritious--click the banner over to the right, the pink one with the cute gal sitting there for some nutritional advice and order the product called Complete. I mix mine everymorning w/ ice cubes, soy milk, some cantelope and a banana. It is so tasty, so good for my body and much more "real food" than something out of a can with the shelf life of many years!

and, note to Rachel, you look great just as you are! keep doing the pilates, figure out your worst food vice and bust it! That is all you really need to get to your peak weight!

Race for the cure; a healthy diet is the cure!

This past weekend in St. Louis, my hometown, over 65,000 people turned out to "Race for the Cure" for one of the breast cancer fundraisers. Certainly a worthwhile cause and important on to support.

I am NOT knocking that effort, nor the need for it.

However, I made a few observations that I think are worth discussion:

There were many very overweight people, mostly women, "walking" for the cure--and that is a good thing, not knocking that, what I am concerned with is that a local reporter interviewed many of these women and I was shocked to see quite a few of them carrying "regular" soft drink bottles, and even one had a large box of Krispy Kreme donuts!

What message does that send? How serious about finding a cure are we when known contributors to the disease are walking right along those trying to find a cure for it!!

Obesity is a direct precursor to many cancers and certainly a big contributor to breast cancer.

A friend of mine and someone I respect a great deal, Dr. Delia Garcia shared with me that more and more the patients she sees are younger and younger and increasingly more and more overweight.

I think that part of the race to find the "cure" to cancer and many of the other illnesses of our modern world starts with how we live our lives EVERY DAY not just on Race day!

and, if one eats donuts and drinks High Fructose Corn Syrup punch aka Coca-Cola and Pepsi on "race" day, image what they do EVERY day!

The first line of defense in fighting these very serious diseases is living more healthfully; drinking water, eating more fruits and vegetables, eating nuts, beans, legumes, lean proteins, whole grains and limiting (if any!) the "junk" that we put in our bodies!

A coaching client of mine today confessed to eating Chick filet food yesterday and said "it was a little piece of heaven"--this woman wants to lose 150 pounds. I assured her that what it really was is a ticket to heaven--and sooner than she would like!

I urge you to race for the cure--but don't make it a one day event or effort, make the pursuit of better health your slice of heaven right here on earth-- you do that, and you will be around long after the cures are discovered for the illnesses we fight, in fact, you may just help solve them!

A Weight Loss Drug that Works... with a Healthy Diet!

What a novel idea? A weight loss drug that will work when you exercise and eat right!  Call me if you want my weight loss "drug".  I've got one that will work just as well.  For those seriously interested please do not read the next sentence! (skip to next paragraph!)...   My weight loss "drug" would be a "placeabo", a sugar pill to be used simply as a reminder that you are living healthy...everyday!  There is not and never will be a "magic" pill to give us health--it's one of those things you strive for by living in a healthful manner.

This as part of our growing health care crisis as mentioned in an earlier blog - if you've got a problem, take a pill!  This mindset is the problem.  If every American knew just how bad fast food, Coca-Cola and other soft drinks really are, and avoided them in favor of fruits, vegetables, water, lean meats -- and got just 15 minutes of exercise per day, the health of the majority of Americans would improve drastically!  I invite you to try Vice Busting - eliminating those unhealthy foods or drinks that are responsible for the majority of the extra weight you may be carrying.  Just one or two changes to a typical diet is enough to create major changes in your health, and weight.  When that happens you can add even more steps - healthier recipes, more exercise - and be proactive in your desire to be fit!

Don't wait until you feel drastic measures are necessary - like gastric bypass, or even diet drugs.  Every single drug ever made has a side-effect.  The Physician's Desk Reference of drugs available in this country lists the side effects and most are about 2 pages in length.  If you don't believe me, go to your library and ask for a copy.  If you look up a drug, you will see 'Indications' , then  further down you will see 'Side Effects' or Warning or Precautions, and those two are the ones that have what seems to be a never-ending list.

The last time I checked, fruits and vegetables did not have side-effects.... oh yeah, there is one - GOOD HEALTH!

Michael Moore - Creating Movies about Problems

It seems Michael Moore is at it again - creating movies that indulge his own ego and "know-it-all" approach to the problems that this country faces.  While Moore's new movie 'Sicko' takes a hard look at the health care crisis in America, he in no way, shape or form, epitomizes what a healthy American should be.  In fact, he is the epitome of 'unhealthy America' - overweight and out of shape. How can the media appease this guy by giving him the stage to rant and rave about the problems we face.... or, rather the challenges that we face.  While we may have a 'health care crisis' on our hands, it is in no way a reflection of the lack of health care available.  The issue seems to be the access to the services and technology for a large percentage of Americans.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our Dr Oz diet approved weight loss plan, this is a healthy choice.

But wouldn't we all be better served if people like Moore started acting for the betterment of health, instead of more and easier access to sick care?  Wouldn't the problem be better solved if Moore started getting his flab more toned by exercising, drinking water, and improving his diet to include more fruits and vegetables?!  Am I to understand this correctly that it is the fault of our government - excuse me, the Republicans - that after years of smoking, eating fast food, drinking soft drinks, sitting on the sofa.... day after day - that they are the problem?!  Are we not responsible for our own health care?!  The system we have in this country is not health care but sick care - not taking care of ourselves and waiting until we're too sick to take care of ourselves. Why is it that someone else is to blame for our years of poor decisions? 

Those who constantly complain about the "system" - ie. Moore, Al Sharpton, and a handful of other powerful people - do nothing more than put a degree of fear and possibly hate into the minds of the American people toward this country.  All that just makes Americans less patriotic, more angry, and less willing to take responsibility for their own health and their own destiny.  Our future - your future - should not, and does not lie in the hands of others.  It's this kind of thinking that yields more governmental control - laws - in more areas of our lives.  We have the ability to do what's right... or not! We don't need more people like Moore whining and complaining loudly about the problem.  We need more people shouting about the solution - taking responsibility for our own actions and taking control of our own destiny.  Not waiting for some politicians to create more laws that tell us what we should be doing and how.

Why not spread the message of health to your local representative.  How about a health care system that pays for gym memberships as long as it is put to use? How about a health system where we get rebates for being within a healthy weight range and a healthy BMI, with normal blood pressure, cholesterol, and so on!? Or maybe it's an added tax deduction for maintaining good health.  I have a brother-in-law whose father is dying in the ICU because they didn't turn his body every few hours to let his back get air and reduce his bed soar problem.  He doesn't lack access to sick care but certainly quality sick care!  There's a problem that has nothing to do with our health-care system.... but a bigger problem at that - consistency with medical treatments.  But this man would have been better off exercising and being fit for the last 60+ years of his life to avoid the problems that he has had to go through in the hospital for the past 5 months.  It was his choice.  And it is your choice.

Don't let yourself get caught up in the problem. Stairing at the problem(s) doesn't make it go away... or even help. Complaining about it makes it worse, and supporting those who complain about it does so even more.  I urge you to boycott this movie and start focusing on your health care!  Focus on the solution of eating healthier and getting some exercise - everyday!  Taking care of yourself is not a part-time job. It's a choice that you live with day in and day out. Make those choices and you will know what health care is all about.  Then you won't have to worry about the sick care system that seems to be ailing this country along with the verbal garbage that is being doled out by the likes of Michael Moore and others.

Take control of your health, your happiness, your future..... your life!

Carpe Diet!

The company said it won't promote foods in TV, radio, print or Web site ads that reach audiences at least half of whom are under age 12 unless a single serving of the product meets these standards:

_No more than 200 calories.

_No trans fat and no more than 2 grams of saturated fat.

_No more than 230 milligrams of sodium, except for Eggo frozen waffles.

_No more than 12 grams of sugar, not counting sugar from fruit, dairy and vegetables.

(this is actually reading between the lines, but this means "alternate sugar" will be allowed! can you say "High Fructose Corn Syrup? I knew you could!)

Kellogg said it would reformulate products to meet these criteria or stop marketing them to children under 12 by the end of 2008.

"By committing to these nutrition standards and marketing reforms, Kellogg has vaulted over the rest of the food industry," said Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "This commitment means that parents will find it a little easier to steer their children toward healthy food choices — especially if other food manufacturers and broadcasters follow Kellogg's lead."

OR are they?

I am willing to bet that they either lower the serving size amount thus making it fall within their reach OR they dump a chemical sweetner in the product and poison our kids w/ aspartame, etc to meet the reduced sugar criteria.

Just because they say they will meet the requirements, doesn't mean what the make it going to be optimally healthy for our children or for us!
