Dr. Mercola:

I clicked on the link "I posted earlier this year" and would like to suggest that you add a link to www.eatwild.com.  I found excellent local suppliers of pasture-fed meats through that site.

What is great is that those people did not set out to shut down any fast food restaurant, they chose to start eating well!  The byproduct of choosing a wellness lifestyle centered around healthy nutrition was that McDonald's no longer saw that town as a viable income source.  McDonald's only gives us what we want and the important understanding of all this is that we must continue to focus on reating more of what we want.

Focusing on getting rid of fast food chains will only serve to distract us from creating abundant health and vitality.  Remember all the dark in the world cannot cover up the smallest amount of light so keep your focus on burning bright, not getting rid of the dark and you will always be illuminated.

Juicy.

 

I haven't eaten fast food in a year and a half.  I ate at least once a week at Burger King and had to talk myself out of eating at those places more often.  I remember eating the breakfast menu 3 days in a row once, it really was addicting, I'd have it with the diet pop too. I have come a long way since then, I wouldn't eat the stuff now even if I was starving.

I love Dr. Mercola's site, I look forward each day to reading new articles.

This amazes me, in fact. I have seen all kinds of other franchise businesses close down due to economic miscalculations, but I cannot recall ever seeing a Mickey D's go out of business. They've got such a solid business strategy and the advantage of legalized supplying of fixes to addicts. Where there is not much space but much demand, they'll open shop right across the street from an established one--and those are all still operating! The availability of healthy food causing one of these to close? Well, miracles do happen!

Why single out McDonald's?  If your wallet's a registered voter, it should be boycotting not only Micky D's but all the rest.  Dethrone that royal pain, Burger King.  Steal the clapper from Taco Bell.  Sing the oldie but goodie, "Everyone knows it (isn't) Wendy's."  Make sure your home isn't your White Castle.  And on and on.

It's a symptom, really, of our imaginary illness called "rushitis."  We're all so busy that we don't have time to cook, so we drive through.  Then the resulting ingested fats get to drive through our arteries and digestive system. 

Hey.  Have it your way.
