Supersize me

Last week I went to the doctor for my annual physical. She pointed out that my cholesterol and blood pressure were so amazingly low, I would not need a job, as would my future husband for many many lives...Novel concept: how do you sell these commodities?

Perhaps I should write a book. Low blood pressure and cholesterol quicker than you can say supersize me in Japanese! I was thinking to myself. It really is not hard to be healthy if you have an aversion towards processed foods. Just do exercise and eat only things you could grow yourself!

Is this genetic or do I just eat more healthier than others. I stopped to think about America's diet and how the average person eats, asking everyone I know what their coworkers eat. My diet and friends diet is hardly exemplary for this study as I do not eat processed foods or sugar. Shortly after my birthday this year I took a Picasso-esque approach to food, deconstructing everything and readmitting wheat, caffeine, chocolate, dairy, sugar into the diet slowly. I just learned that junk food, sugary drinks and beer make up nearly one-third of the calories adult Americans consume daily. Apparently the results would be worse if we were looking at teenagers. I feel cardiac arrest coming on just thinking about eating that sort of nutrient deficient stuff every day...

If you can handle it, here is something even more disturbing. I am very interested in seeing Super-size me, as it looking at the "Fast-food Nation" on film. To give you a little glimpse into middle america check out the trailer. Quick Time is needed to view it. The basic premise of the film is that the director, Morgan Spurlock could eat only McDonald's for an entire month with three simple rules:

1) No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!)
2) No supersizing unless offered
3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once

Obviously, this sounds disturbing. It won lots of awards so if you dare, take a walk on the supersized size of America.
