Health Insurance Companies Invest Billions in Fast Food Chains

The articles referenced in this post, which are based on research published in the American Journal of Public Health, explain how "health" insurance companies are not really concerned about health at all.  Health insurance companies owned $1.9 billion in  stock in the five largest fast-food corporations -- Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Burger King, Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and others), and Wendy's/Arby's.  All fast food sold in the U.S. is loaded with dangerous ingredients like - sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, monosodium glutamate (MSG), artificial flavors, artificial colors, and genetically modified foods.  These ingredients in fast food can cause brain damage, kidney damage, liver damage, heart disease, cancer, and obesity. 

And now that the "health" care legislation has passed, Americans will be forced to purchase "health" insurance by government mandate and penalties.  This does not make sense.  I understand how dangerous fast food is.  I should have a choice about purchasing a product ("health" insurance) from a company that invests in fast food, which is really not food at all.  It's really bio-weaponry, in my opinion, dressed up as food.

If you want to see a dramatic change in your health for the better, avoid fast food like the plague.  What can you do to take control of your own health and work toward never getting sick again?  Eat more vegetables, lean meats, fruit, gluten free grains like quinoa, and nuts, prepared from home.  Drink water instead of soda.  Take a whole food supplements that include essential nutrients like coral calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D3.  If you want to drink juice, make your own prepared in a blender at home, with no added sugar or high fructose corn syrup.  You'll lose weight, feel better, and if you stick with it, you may never be sick again!
