I have to disagree about the quality of the food. At least partially. If it's so bad why aren't more people dying? Have the people who eat chicken constantly become immune to salmonella? I believe quite a bit of this is biased and possibly overblown. I'm not saying the US is the best country in the world but it's not the worst either. There really isn't that much I can say to something put so depressingly negative. If this person wants to voice their opinion on the US, so be it but the entire thing isn't based entirely off of facts.
I pretty much knew all of the things in this article. Also, everyone should be aware of the corporatocracy by now. It's the only way you can really look at America these days. If it isn't corporately owned, it's probably 99% better for you and for everyone else. That's why we look down being healthy, it just isn't profitable like McDonald's. :) One thing everyone should realize however is that this article is a bit emotionally-driven, and that there are surely some blown-up exaggerations for dramatic effect. Although the author is pretty much spot-on, I wouldn't go around saying he's 100% accurate either. At least partially? There isn't an argument about America's food. To be certain, there are 450,000+ deaths from coronary heart disease each year. This is from various food issues such as overly processed meat to badly cooked foods in oils that cause cholesterol problems (such as McDonalds' fries). Plenty of people die, but until that number goes from 450,000 yearly to, say, 900,000, you'll just continue thinking it's somehow normal for that many people to die. While there are only about 70 reported terrorist attacks reported annually, and yet the dept. of defense has about 50% of the country's budget under its belt. what an odd imbalance, yes?
