      WOW! This video is absolutely mind-blowing. At he beginning I did wonder how meat was going to tie into global warming, but it's absolutely appalling to find out that livestock produces more pollution than transport around the world. This video is one of many on youtube, and it shows us how we are all the ones to blame for global warming as well. Our demands for meat have lead to immediate production of "synthesized" meat that may taste juicier to us, but is actually really bad for our health. The decisions we make for our diet affect our health and the environment, so always think twice.

  • weight and obese, many parents are looking to fast food as a possible cause
  • children and teenagers who are overweight has more than doubled in the past 30 years
  • a trend that seems parallel with the growth of the fast food industry
  • McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder hamburger without fries or a drink can provide 730 calories, 40 grams of fat and 1,330 milligrams of sodium. When combined with a 590-calorie order of French fries and a 1,330-calorie milk shake, it is easy to see how even infrequent visits to fast food restaurants can add to the amount of calories and fat a teenager consumes on a regular basis.

      This article is really good in showing the relationship between teen obesity and fast food by using statistics. Not only that but it also tells us how we can control and manage our weight and not get sucked into big corporate business ways, like those of McDonalds. Providing junk at an affordable price.

  • Protein serves a number of functions in the body. This nutrient is essential for the proper growth and repair of muscle tissue, as well as all other bodily tissues.
  • There has been some debate about how much protein the body needs for optimal gains in muscle mass, although recent guidelines, as of February 2011, suggest that it's less than previously thought.
  • Recent guidelines, as of February 2011, suggest that the ideal protein intake for strength-training athletes is in the range of 0.7 to 1.0 g of protein per 1 lb. of body weight each day.

  • This translates to about 28 to 40 calories from protein per 1 lb. of body weight each day. Previous recommendations have suggested protein intake in excess of 1.5 g per 1 lb. of body weight.
  • Protein is composed of amino acids, which provide protein with its ability to promote tissue growth and meet other bodily needs. The body can produce many of these amino acids on its own, although nine are deemed "essential" because the body can not manufacture them. The best sources of protein for building muscle are those that contain all nine essential amino acids. Meat, eggs, dairy products and soy have all essential amino acids.
  • Whey and casein protein are two popular protein supplements in the fitness industry. Both of these proteins come from milk extract and can be effective stimulants for new muscle growth, especially when combined with carbohydrates.
  • If you are not a weightlifter, you still need a certain amount of protein each day. Most healthy adults need 0.4 to 0.5 g of protein per 1 lb. of body weight each day
  • Endurance athletes, on the other hand, need about 0.6 to 0.7 g of this nutrient per 1 lb. of body weight. Protein should generally account for about 10 to 15 percent of your total calories daily.

Marketing Children Fast Food Canada

    The number one reason of our health concerns in Canada, is the fast food industry. It's not that Canadians are addicted to fast food, it's the way we are convinced to buy it. Marketing and business schemes are all a part of this world, but using these schemes on kids is cunning way to bring in costumers. Adults and parents need to explain and teach kids about fast food and how it is affecting the modern society. Fast food chains also keep their corporations under wraps, and don't conceal the truth about their products. We need to educate the youth of the future. A starting point may be the documentary the 11th Hour directed by Leila and Nadia Conners.
