How many of you like hamburgers? What is hamburger’s made out of? Meat. Do you know how the cows are fed and housed while they are waiting to gain weight and be slaug
The food you eat is making you sick and in some cases is killing you. Do you think that statement is true ? And Why?
The food we eat is loaded with chemicals. Most of the chemicals you can’t spell or pronounce their names but yet we consume them every day in almost everything we eat.
htered for transport to your grocery stores? They are in stalls only big enough for them to stand up and yes their excrement is in the stall with them. This is what we are eating.
We are eating chemicals and animals that are being treated inhuman. And this is what we eat. words like cancer, heart disease, diabetics are words that are usually referred to the elderly. Not anymore. Now they are being used in children of elementary age and up.
This is a matter of such a huge magnitude that a man by the name of Max Sturman wrote this book Cancer rip off and other books on nutrition focusing on children and teenagers.
Now you guys are old enough to know the facts and the facts are these. Foods with sugar are over powering us. Take a can of soda. There are 10 tsps of sugar in one can. That is 40 grams = 10 tsps. What about the number of tsps of sugar in 3 or 4 cans of soda or super size? The amount of sugar is staggering. We add into the mix candy, cookies, cake and pies to name a few and we are on one big high from sugar and Diabetes here I come.
Salt is also a huge problem. All processed food has salt in it. Large quantities of salt. Once you receive your food if it was cooked in your kitchen by you, your mom or dad what is the first thing we do. We look for the salt shaker and add more salt.
Salt leads to so many diseases. High blood pressure. It can literally rot out your stomach.
There is much you can do to help yourselves. You can decide here and now that when food is produced you can make the choice of whether or not you are going to eat it. You do not have to give it up completely, but cut back. If you have a hamburger, French fries and coke go small. Not medium or supersize.
You do not want to start out your adult lives being sick with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or Cancer. Another disease that is really shaking up the adult world is Alzheimer’s. How much of this disease is caused by the food we eat? Once you have these diseases it is impossible to get rid of them. You want your life to be a good quality. You want to live life to the fullest. You can just think before you eat.
You are now young adults. You are the future of this country. Many of you will be going on to college. You can change the way the world mass produces their food. The food chain can be changed. We can eat healthy foods with less sugar and salt and fat. You are the future you can make this happen. It is the most important thing in this world right now to live healthy.
How many of you eat fruits and vegetables? Try a smoothie. Smoothies are made to be creative. You can throw into a blender apples, a little water a cup of ice cubes 2 tablespoons of dried milk a tsp of honey blend and you have a great drink. It will give you energy, boost your body and brain and help you lose weight.
Everybody should be in some kind of sport. It’s great for the mind and body. What kind of sports do you like to do? What kind of sports does your school offer? Get involved. Take that leap of faith.
When you are old enough to start contributing to charities be aware that some of the charities are a rip off. Like the title of this book. Cancer rip off. By Max Sturnam. The more money you contribute to the different foundations the more money they want for research. The drug companies don’t want a cure because they make billions in Cancer drugs. Think about it. There are some good charities out there. There are a few right in this book.
Think before you eat and drink. You only have one life. Live it healthy.
