Marius, that was a dumb thing to say. I hope your next Big Mac lands you in the hospital.

If you want to eat meat, then great, but know where your meat is coming from. McDonalds, like most (if not all), fast food places, buys the cheapest of the cheapest ground beef. Find out what sort of cows are allowed to go into the cheapest of the cheapest ground beef and then tell me if a big mac still sounds good.There's a reason why I refuse to eat fast food.

The solution is not writing a nasty letter to Walmart, or picketing an industrial farm because you feel bad for the "poor animals." The solutions are supporting local farmers and taking an active interest in the foods you consume. We are what we eat and have no body to blame but ourselves when finally the medical problems start to manifest. Take responsibility for yourselves people, and stop expecting everyone else to solve your problems for you, if you truly care about yourselves, your friends and your families. If you do not then you will only continue to be taken advantage of.

I used to be like you, then I realized I wanted to still be able to jog when I"m 40, not be obese by the time I finish college and actually try to live past say...70. If you like it, eat it, I've cut my fast food meals to a goal of once a month or less and I'll do my best to stay with it and I've added in more fruits to my diet.

I don't know about everyone else here but I have grandparents in their 90's that went through the depression and World War II in actual combat (real stress and bad conditions). They all eat meat chili whatever you name it. I don't recall them jogging everyday and all of them smoked for at least forty years. They have most of their teeth and still make the best food I have ever had. I don't know about any of you but they made it through rougher situations than most and are living long. It's hard to say when there is very little evidence that jogging everyday actually lets you live longer let alone not smoking or eating so called "healthy". Do we have actual large populations from the 1920's and 30's to show some actual evidence?No?
