Fast Food - Direct And Indirect Harm
The dangers of fast food come in two types. There are the obvious dangers posed by the high fat and calorie content of fast foods. There are also some hidden dangers rarely considered.
When a person is told that fast food is not good for them from a nutritional point of view, he is hardly surprised. The relationship between fast food and the almost epidemic obesity of the American population is a fairly well known fact. Still, the factors that make fast food so popular still seem to be powerful enough to make the majority of the population ignore the obvious risks of poor nutrition and weight problems. Fast food is easily available, relatively cheap, most people find it tasty and filling and it can be purchased fast.
Food Allergies And Sensitivities - Some Alternative Recipes
Food allergies and sensitivities seem to be on the rise. Either that, or there are just more and more people who are aware of what is causing their ill health.
Back in the 80’s, I was one of those people who scoffed at the claims of some people regarding environmental sensitivities. At that time the focus was on dyes, inks, fragrances and environmental pollutants. Many of the people featured in news articles and documentaries were reduced to living in tents or “bubbles”. I thought they were all a little bit “nuts”. Then I became one. It sure taught me a thing or two.

Farm Land
Usually I do not get on a soap box about anything although I may sound like it at times, yet the loss of farm land is serious.
Essentially every state is losing farm land. For example, North Carolina’s farming has about 17% of the workforce, and contributes about 68 billion dollars to their economy. But in 2004 North Carolina lost 3000 farms, and in 2005 was tied with TN and Fla for farm loss, losing 1000 farms. Even more important is the loss of food production.
