That is probably how you are responding to this post right now. I would have responded the same way 10 years ago. Back then it was all about buffets, anorexia, and bulimia. Some how between worrying about being to skinny and living the american dream. We all forgot to learn about nutrition, and we all got over weight the new epidemic of today, tomorrow, and the future. High school gave us drug awareness, pregnancy awareness, anorexia awareness, alcohol awareness, and who could ever forget STD awareness. Where the hell was the nutrition awareness? I for one think it would have been good to know that those french fries I love were clogging my arteries with potential brain clots. Or that almost every product with wheat has tons of the same heart clogging trans fats in them. That the bacon burgers I carelessly swallowed can thicken my blood and harden my veins. That alone gives the chance of a stroke happening 3 to 1 odds, and all the diet coke drinkers are doubling their risk. This all sounds like important stuff to know doesn't it. So why am I just now finding out about it? Perhaps, I loved food too much to care. Maybe, I didn't care because I would never see any harmful side effects. That is until the day when I get diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Why would you sit and wait till it is too late?
