In the United States, the food industry spends more than $33 billion a year to advertise products that are mostly fat, salt and sugar. Of that, $12 billion a year is spent on marketing to youth.

EM Nutrition [Nine Steps to a Healthy Diet]

Put down those chicken nuggets, throw away the Monster drink and 'un-supersize" yourself.  There is hope, you can eat without receiving your food from a window.  We need to talk!  Unfortunately, fast food has very little value to humans - too much fat, empty calories and too little nutritional value.. I wish they marketed water, vegetables, fruit and lean meats in cool packages with great jingles .. we'd be a country of really healthy people.

So let's take matters into our own hands... let EM guide you through some really simple and basic rules of eating that will 'detoxify' your system without making you sneak out to Mc Donalds after midnight while no one is looking.

Fast Food in America

According to a 2007 Kaiser Family Foundation study, children aged 8 to 12 viewed an average of 21 food ads a day.

Of those, 34 per cent were for candy or snacks, 28 per cent for cereal and 10 per cent for fast food.
None were for fruits or vegetables.

The American National Cancer Institute spends $1 million per year to encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables.

According to the Canadian Paediatric Society, most food advertising on children's TV shows is for fast foods, soft drinks, candy and pre-sweetened cereals - while commercials for healthful food make up only 4 per cent of those shown.

Unhealthful foods make up much of online advertising as well. The Kaiser Family Foundation studied 77 Web sites promoting food products to children and found that over three months they received more than 12 million visits from children aged 2 to 11.

Every month, more than 90 percent of the children in the United States eat at McDonald's.

Over the past twenty-five years, American researchers have found an increase in fast-food commercials during children's television programming - with many of these commercials emphasizing larger portions.

During the 1950s, the typical soft drink order at a fast food restaurant contained about eight ounces of soda.

Today, a "child" order of Coke at McDonald's is twelve ounces, and a large Coke is thirty-two ounces (and about 310 calories!).

Fast food companies make higher profits on soft drinks than on their food products.

In 1997, Americans spent over $54 billion on soft drinks.

Twelve- to nineteen-year-old boys drink an average of 868 cans of pop per year. Girls drink about one-fourth less - around 651 cans per year.

A super-sized order of McDonald's fries contains 610 calories and 29 grams of fat. Other brands aren't much better: a king-sized order of Burger King's fries packs 590 calories and 30 grams of fat.
Per ounce, Chicken McNuggets contain twice as much fat as hamburger.

In the United States, obesity is second only to smoking as a cause of death.

A Stanford University study showed that when children aged 3 to 5 were offered two identical meals, one wrapped in plain paper and one in MacDonald's packaging, children preferred the latter, insisting that it tasted better.

The American artificial flavor industry - the industry that's behind the great taste of much of the snack food we consume - has annual revenues of approximately $1.4 billion.

And speaking of artificial flavoring - a typical strawberry milkshake contains approximately fifty artificial ingredients to create that great "strawberry" taste!
