Please view the view the video at the following link http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/peter_jennings_reporting_how_to_get_fat_without_really_trying/ and give your reaction to the video in this discussion. Is there anything that was brought to your attention that you may not have known before? Will you purchase food differently or was it just information that you processed and you will continue shopping similarly to always? Listen to the stats about corn subsidies...had you ever heard of farm subsidies? Any thoughts about corn being put into so many products? What is your overall reaction with regard to nutrition and the food pyramid and the role of government?
I freaking love that video. It's really all about the money. I once had a cassette about how the food industry and the health industry was actually "helping" each other. The food industry would put chemicals in food to make the consumers addicted to the product and then the health industry would market healthy live style or something. It's been years since I last heard it. Altogether it was a trillion dollar industry. Anyways, I've never heard of this subsides. The video wasn't shocking but very educational. Props for posting this up.
The sad part for me is that... I actually don't get fat if I eat 3 meals of McD a day.... -__- but just serious health problem... hah
