I never exercise and I eat fast food all the time and I realized here lately that I need to start eating more healthier and exercising. I would like to at least lose 15 pounds. I drink alot of sodas too. Yes it can make you feel fatique.
2 :
Depends on if you're eating fast food like a moron or not. It is possible to eat fast food and be perfectly healthy if you make proper choices.
3 :
By eating fast food, you are most likely to be more fatifure than people who eat healthy. Also, it is damaging your insides as well.I recommend you watch the 30 days show with the guy who at fast food (Mcdonalds dor 30 days and by the way he looked before is nothing like he looked or felt after the 30 days. The movie is called Super size me. Its actually really informative. Eat healthy, thats the best thing for your body and of course, exercising..What effects can a lack of exercise and fast food cause on your body?

Does anyone know how fast food places are doing since the green/health revolution

Does anyone know how fast food places are doing since the green/health revolution?
Like everyone wants organic whole foods now - are fast food restaurants suffering?

I dont believe fast food restaurants will ever suffer. Although alot more people are going green and trying to eat right the fast food places just put out foods that make you think they are healthy but in all reality they are far from it. Its supply and demand and people are lazy and want things fast, so fast food places will be here to stay.
2 :
I agree. I was "green" long before it was a pop culture adjective, long before it was trendy. I was raised to care for God's earth because God blessed us with it and in turn, we should show thanks and care for it. Okay. Sermon over. (I normally don't get preachy, but this is the only way I know how to define/describe this.) Anyway, I did become vegan as an adult, about five years ago before it was trendy and when books like "Fast Food Nation" were more "underground" books and not "mainstream", for lack of better word. (I actually read "Fast Food Nation" about a year after I became vegetarian.) I know plenty of people, like my in-laws, who know that the product that the business serve is not healthy, but frequently eat at them anyway. Even my vegetarian SIL (the daughter of said parents-in-law), who says she became one for cruelty to animals (not about health with the way she eats), has no reservations going to fast "food" places and ordering salads without meat. (Yeah. And who is to say that they didn't pick the meat out when she ordered it? I pointed that out to her once [she's a bit clueless], and she just shrugged.) About once or twice a month, my husband will go to one on days when he is gone all day and forgot to pack snacks and get a double something sandwich and a small fry. (I have taught him many things about caring for God's earth and he has learned and in turn taught me a few things and has come up with some great ideas of his own. I became vegan a few years into our marriage and he understands and respects my decsions and will not do things like feed our daughter junk "food" like fast "food" or candy. Overall, we all eat healthy.) As long as there are clueless, lazy, ignorant, or just don't care people in the world, fast "food" places will be around. Also, the people who think the product is healthy, but really it isn't. (i.e., the apple slices that have probably been treated with a preservative and are missing the nutrient rich skins. Never mind that the nutrients started to break down after the apple was cut... Or like Burger King that calls them Apple Fries, to make them more appealing to kids? Yeah. My daughter likes whole apples because I introduced them to her at a young age, starting with apple sauce with soft chunks. The one time she tried a french fry was at Chck-Fil-A and she didn't like it, but was more interested in the veggies and fruit from the chicken salad and the fruit salad my husband got for us. Yes, I did pick the chicken out because it was the only option, other than leaving my niece's birthday party and taking time away from my sister, and parents to go to Panera of Chipotle the only fast "food" style restaurants I will go to if there are no other options.) Anyway, I'm babbling and ready for lunch. (A veggie burger on whole wheat bread and maybe the leftover potatoes stir-fried in olive oil, but I'll wait to see if my daughter wants them.
3 :
The fast food joints will just reevaluate their menus and roll with the punches. They are going no where.
4 :
The fast food chains just create new products (like smoothies and salads) and market them as healthy even though they aren't. People are still going to be gullible and too lazy to prepare their own healthy food at home, so they'll still buy those foods

Can you recommend a widely available organic food brand

Can you recommend a widely available organic food brand?
I enjoy eating organic when possible (and affordable) and I often buy the O Organics brand of food available at Safeway. Are there any other brands of USDA certified organic foods that are fairly affordable and widely available at major grocery stores like Safeway, Top Foods, Fred Meyer, etc.? Please, no answers about how organic food is a "scam." Also, I do shop at farmer's markets and health food stores occasionally. I am just wondering about the major grocery stores like I said above. Thanks!

Yes. All people that attend Sporting Events should be Heavily Taxed. All foods, especially fruits and vegetables which are loaded with pesticide, should be Heavily Taxed.

A good start. He should also tax the air we breath as it harms our health. Tax toilet paper because we just throw it away anyway, Also tax you on farts (obvious reason) a nominal tax on belches. heavy tax on coughing. tax every bath as all it does is pollute water. Cars need to be outlawed completely. tax guns and ammo at a very high rate. Make gun owners buy a million dollar liability Ins. policy. And above all tax the act of Sex. (transmitted disease you know) I,m sure I have left out many. But you who love taxes can fill in the rest.

Is dried cat food really bad for a cat's health

Is dried cat food really bad for a cat's health?
I often hear that dried cat food is bad for cats. That it may cause diabetes or heart disease, as well as weight gain in cats and dried food should therefore be avoided. Does this apply to all dried food, or just some brands of dried food? Would the dried food brands that list meat or chicken as the main ingredient be better for a cat than those that list corn meal or grain as the main ingredient? Thanks.

I've been feeding my cat Nutro Max dry food for all of his 10 years and he's perfectly healthy.
2 :
What? As far as i can remember, we have always gave our cats dry food. None have ever died from eating it. All our cats that have died have died of old age and that's because we put them down. Dry food is just fine for them
3 :
i dont know about the meat vs. grain but dry food isnt bad in general. im sure certain brands are bad though. it is a lot better for their teeth than wet food i know that
4 :
Dried foods that are sold in supermarkets or cheap brands of food are bad for a cats health it could give them urine infections and other diseases. You should ask the vet which brand is better.
5 :
No its fine, in fact its better than moist cat food cause it cleans their teeth and moist cat food is mainly water anyway. How many wild cats do see on tv hunting down and killing grain for gods sake they eat meat! thats why its better.
6 :
Dry cat food is more likely to be full of artificial preservatives. It also often contains less meat than the canned foods. If you bought two foods from a supermarket and one was dry and one was canned, even if the canned was a cheap food it most likely will have better ingredients than the dry food. Dry foods also more often contain artificial coloring. However if a dry food is a high quality food (not the type from the supermarket) it should not contain artificial preservatives or coloring and should be mostly meat. Personally I avoid a food with ANY corn, wheat or soy. Cats are obligate carnivores and they have no need for any grains/carbs in their diet so I use a grain-free cat food. You can usually find these higher quality foods at smaller specialty dog/cat stores or usually there are a few high quality brands at the big chain pet stores. The other reason people say canned food is better is due to the water content. Cats are not made to eat food that contains no water, so they can sometimes have health problems when on a dry food only diet due to the lack of moisture in the diet. There is also a myth that dry cat food cleans their teeth and canned food causes teeth problems. This is not true unless you are using a cheap canned food that is full of grains and sugars. Most cats don't chew their dry food enough to actually do any good for their teeth and most cat foods shatter as soon as they munch on it so there are not really teeth-cleaning benefits.
7 :
Hi You certainly will hear this from me all the time. Dry food should be illegal for cats! yes and I mean all dry foods. Meat as the first ingredient is better then anything else and grain free dry food is much much better then dry foods that have grains as the carb content is lower. But nothing can make up for the fact that cats are suppose to get their moisture needs from their prey. They are not big drinkers and dry food dehydrates. So what you have is blockages for males, and in later stages of life, dehydration and kidney disease. I learned all this from my cat getting diabetes from eating dry foods. I worked on a diabetes board and have seen the examples of thousands of cats with all different sort of problems and what happens when the switch is made to wet food or raw from dry. The evidence is overwhelming. Unfortunately the reach of the food companies which make most of their profits from this crap far exceeds any evidence

Does Vegemite taste like the Nutritional Yeast they sell in health food stores

Does Vegemite taste like the Nutritional Yeast they sell in health food stores?
Vegemite is made from yeast. I bought some Nutritional Yeast at a health food store and it doesn't taste too bad. It tastes something like cheese but kinda salty and a bit bitter and kinda like some kind of vegetable. I am in the USA where there is no Vegemite, Marmite, anything-ite. If you have never tasted Nutritional Yeast then there is no way to compare it to anything else. I used cheese as an example but it doesn't taste like cheese. I don't like cheese. But Nutritional Yeast has a kinda cheesy taste. So... if you have tasted BOTH Vegemite and Nutritional Yeast then you can tell me how they compare. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO BUY VEGEMITE WHERE I LIVE AND I WON'T MAIL ORDER IT so don't tell me to buy some because I can't do it.

I don't think so. Have you ever tried Promite or Marmite before? They are similar, but not quite the same!! I don't really think Vegemite tastes like cheese at all. You will just have to try some Vegemite on toast with loads of butter to get the real idea of what it is all about. Delicious.
2 :
Nutrional yeast does taste similar to vegemite and they both look similar, being thick black spreads. But they don't taste exactly the same and I can tell the difference - but i was brought up on Vegemite. Vegemite is stronger in taste - saltier and with more of a "tang" to it. Sort of like Pepsi and Coke, similar but not the same
