Monday Moanin' and Why I Avoid Fast Food Restaurants and Scientific American

If you feel you need a reason to avoid fast food places, here's good reason - they're dangerous.  Another good reason to avoid fast food places, you may be causing global warming.

But first.

The Numbers:

• Fasting Blood Glucose Level:  104 mg/dl
• Weight 187 lbs. 
• Exercise:  45 minute bike ride.
• Mood:  8.0 

The Menu:

• Breakfast:  Usual fruit medley and a real, honest to goodness bagel.  Chewy and everything. 
• Lunch:   Leftover lentil and a big, sweet juicy peach
• Dinner:  Salmon nestled atop greens and a baked potato. 
• Snack:  Slice of cheese and a few almonds. 

Dangerous Fast Food Places. 

I don't generally go to fast food restaurants, not that I have anything against them.  You can really do pretty well eating in such places if you have a bit of common sense.  It's just for best for me to avoid any temptations, upsizing the fries, fries in general, double bacon cheese burgers, massively stuffed burritos and deserts that I really like a lot.

No, my general reason for avoiding them is that fast food places are getting dangerous.  This version has the fast food worker attacking the customer, which is a bit of a change.  The customer was complaining about the his order the clerk took exception to the complaint.  Bad day, probably, and this complaint was one shove that pushed the guy over the edge and into jail.

The usual version is the customer causing the problem.  The first on I remember is over some Chicken McNuggets.  Never have understood what people like about them.  Sad when not getting an order of them is considered an emergency. 

Global Warming Caused by Obesity and Why I Avoid Scientific American

Another good reason to avoid fast food restaurants is global warming.  Okay, that eating fast food results in obesity and obesity is contributing to global warming is nonsense, but it's an  idea  this preposterous article in  Scientific American wants it readers to take seriously.

Remember the good old days when people took this magazine seriously?  Not so much anymore.

The article mentions that Asians should be models for diminishing the world's biomass and the fool of an author cites North Korea as an example.  North Korea is famous for it's staving people and starvation is one way to reduce a countries biomass.

As I said, with articles like this, is anyone taking SA seriously anymore?  As for Asia, what about China's grow problem with obesity and diabetes?  It's the downside of getting rich and more than a few North Koren wished it was their problem.
