The very reason poor people are unhealthy stems from much more than coming to america and having access to mcdonalds. All that shite is already available in the country they came from.

It stems from a distension from traditional family values common in country (I'm speaking about Mexico here). Yea they're poor over there too but home cooked family meals are more common (uncles cousins grandparents etc) which equates to higher nutritional value. This also reduces stress levels so the taxation on the body (heart through a decrease in cortisol mostly)is mitigated somewhat. The decrease in this occurrence is 1). The American dream-work as much as possible to make as much as possible to better provided for your family and 2) working so much you have less time for your family and this eat shite meals and cause your body to degrade.

Don't put down the food industry because you watched a documentary before delving Into the root cause of the problem you illiterate Internet ingrates.

Feel free to do something about it like educate somalian refugees on the merits of vegetables and breast feeding for their children. I have. It'll do a whole hell of a lot more than believing the bullshite some a-hole with an agenda cooked up.

Actually, it's laziness and gluttony.

quote:

After eating nothing but McDonald’s for three months, the Iowa man lost 37 pounds and saw his cholesterol level drop significantly, local TV station KCCI reports.


quote:

Cisna enlisted his students to help him plan out a 2,000-calorie daily diet plan consisting only of food sold by the fast food giant. They also tried not to exceed recommended allowances of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fat calories and cholesterol.

For breakfast, Cisna typically ate two egg white delights, a bowl of maple oatmeal and 1 percent milk. For lunch, he’d usually opt for a salad. And for dinner he’d order a more traditional value meal, including items like Big Macs, ice creams and sundaes


quote:

During the experiment, Cisna walked for 45 minutes every day, and by the 90th day he reported that he’d lost 37 pounds. He also reported that his cholesterol had dropped from 249 to 170. He said he was able to get healthier simply because he made smart choices.

“It’s our choices that make us fat,” Cisna told KCCI. ”Not McDonald’s.”
