I also make sure to try and purchase beef that has been farm raised on a range mechanism, not sitting there in a disease bred environment like most slaughterhouses here in the US. and yes, Food Inc is a movie, a very good one at that.

Hahaha like I need anymore beer in my system other than what I already drink Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 God I hate that movie. Put me off fast food, well that and fast food nation, for life. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nothing I have ever seen on TV or read could ever put me off food I like, be it fast or fine food. For me the absolute very last thing I would ever consider when eating food is whether it's good for me. Couldn't care less if it takes years off my life. If I like it I eat it. Probably die young but I'll die contented and well fed Link to post Share on other sites

Probably die young but I'll die contented and well fed OK...how about this one.. My grandpa died at 50 from heart disease. My dad had a heart attack at 24..had another one right in front of me when I was a teen. I won't go into details but it really freaked me out.....triple bypass at 36 , stents in recent years and the meds...oh, the meds! That ain't no TV show. Someone pass me a carrot stick.

My Dad died a slow and painful death from cancer and so did my uncle who was like a second father to me after my dad passed on. My dad hadn't led all that healthy a life having smoked for 30 years and having a diet similar to mine. My uncle on the other hand had always been extremely health conscious, eating well, exercising, never smoked and still didn't make it to 60. Both though had been very much into their careers, worked very long hours and had quite a lot of stress. I gave up on career and stressful jobs when I moved to Japan. I don't exercise for the sake of fitness but do ski a lot and hike a lot in summer. I have an almost completely stress free lifestyle caring about little including my diet. I just do whatever makes me happy. As far as I'm concerned happiness above all else is the real secret to longevity. Well we'll see Link to post Share on other sites
