SO obese?

well this article and other articles listed on the bottom might have a realistic explanation as why.
BTW I have always blamed processed food for our weight problems, I believe the chemicals used in our foods today have unseen health risks.
The reason I was reading this article in the first place is because I have extreme sensitivity to MSG. I am not making this up I experience high like symptoms with out the good parts of being high. I feel dizzy numb, get a head ache and feel like I will pass out at about 20 mins after eating food containing high amounts of MSG. I made curry using and imported curry cubes. Sure enough later my head was spinning, and I felt weird. Luckily I eat something else and the symptoms started to diminish. I still do feel some of it's effects though.
I also read not too long ago an article in discovery magazine from a toxin expert that there are toxins it plastics, make up and all kinds of every day house hold items that we are exposed to. Some of them are known carcinogens (and we all know those cause cancer).
I'm not saying we should become neurotic and live in fear but we should all be aware of what might be in our environment and the effects prolonged exposure might be having on our healthy.
any way I hope this helps keep some one informed.

And when people walk by when I'm smoking, tho I'm very much out of their bronchial range...they give me "the look". And if they get me riled, I WILL mention something as they are loading their asses up in their big polluting vehicle. Oh yes, I will.
I think chemicals are a big issue in our world. I think degenerative diseases, autoimmune are going to spike dramatically in the near future. I tried to live as organically and close to nature for years, but the fact is these chemicals are cycling through the whole world. DDT in penguins and polar bears, and it has been banned for 40 years.
It is almost depressing. OK, it is depressing. I did a big paper last term on environmental ethics. It is greed that drives people to neglect the earth, and it will come back to hurt us all.
I have a Sci Fi book I have been planning to write for 20 years on this topic. By the time I get it written, it will be out of date. LOL
I'm not saying go crazy extreme and join the Amish community all I'm saying is be aware. All these toxins we are exposed to build up in our system over time and cause health problems. The general public needs to be informed so they can make conscientious decisions. Other wise we are all at the mercy of what our government enforces that we are made aware of.
Sure I may die of cancer either way but I want to know why. Also I'd like to at least be informed.
BTW MSG has been linked to learning disorders and neurological brain damage. The pharmaceutical industry is investing vast resources in the development of glutamate receptor blockers to protect CNS neurons against glutamate neurotoxicity. I think that's interesting considering MSG is in practically all processed food.
But if you had bothered reading the whole article you'd know that. It is two pages long you know?
