Damn Farms: Farm to Fridge

[_Rave_]

Well, for starters, think of this:

Where do the eggs, the meats, and the poultry from your supermarket come from?

There were roughly 5000 slaughterhouses in America in the 70's, take a guess as to how many there are today.

Guess how many meat packing companies there are that are competitors in the market.

How much sway does McDonald's really have over the meat, poultry, and potato markets?

McDonalds does not taste like "stuff" as some of you are saying it does. You don't realize that McDonalds and other processed food companies put millions of dollars researching/developing food that people like. Sure, being cheap might give a food company an competitive advantage, but if something taste like crap no one's going to buy it no matter how cheap.

And humans biologically like fatty foods better. Fat gives the body 2x more calories per oz than starch and sugar does. Humans also have a sweet tooth because we don't need to waste calories metabolizing sugar as much. Fast food is fatty, so we like it.

Everyone is stupider after reading these posts.

Wrong, "stupider" is not a real word. The correct pronunciation is "more stupid."

brother you dumb.  While fats do have double the calories of carbs, they are more difficult to break down, and cannot be stored well.

Are you just making this up? Starch is what takes extra calories to break down. Fat is the easiest form to store because it doesn't need to be converted into fat to be stored. It goes directly into storage.

It wouldn't be a pronunciation it would be a spelling.

forget your derelict semantics.

You do realize that being fat is a bad thing, correct?

I honestly can't believe you are arguing that fats are the best source of energy.

There's a difference between obesity and using fat as a source of energy.

Obesity is caused because their parents and or ancestors were fat making the child inherit his fat.

I never took it, I just guessed because a lot of children are born being fat/obese because of it.

The dispute on whether or not it is caused by genetic factors is still being debated.

you're both wrong, it's neither spelling nor is it pronunciation, it's actually a form of the word "stupid." i scoff at you as i enjoy my superior english skills.
