ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!!!!!!

I was taking a walk one day and saw some of my young neighbors down at the park. Seeing the clouds of smoke being released, I decided to slide on by and pass a little knowledge on to the youngsters while they were in a receptive state of mind. I have been doing some serious thought on the state of fast food and health in this country and I wanted to see if how I felt could be communicated to others. So I walked up to the table and the conversation went something like this:

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...yo! What up dude?

Me: Nothing much just thought I would come chat with you fellas for a bit. What's going on?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...dumb question dude...(puff, puff)...you can see what's going on here.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...yeah just the same ole same ole...(puff, puff)...bout to finish this and hit a dollar menu somewhere.

Me: That's cool. You guys ever trip on how fast food has grown these days?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...dude I don't give a fuck, I just know it's cheap and that shit is bomb...(puff, puff)...

Me: You know everything that's good to you isn't good for you.

YWeedy2: I don't give a fuck! No disrespect dude but fuck that shit.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...dude relax man...(puff, puff)...this dude talks some good shit.

YWeedy2: Less talking and more passing...(puff, puff)...okay so what's the deal with fast food?

Me: Let's take a good look at it and what's going on in the world. Now how many fast food spots like McDonalds, Burger King, and Carls's Jr. do you see around these days?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...dude them shits is like everywhere!

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...yeah they on like every corner and shit...(puff, puff)...dude spark the other blunt.

YWeedy2: You gotta put in again!

Me: Okay so they are everywhere right, so how are they able to get so much food to all these restaurants to serve so cheap?

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...don't know I always kinda wondered how though...(puff, puff)...from other countries?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...you dumb ass! You think they serve food made in other countries here...(puff, puff)...everything they sell in the U.S. is grown in the U.S.! Tell him he stupid!

Me: Well actually some of the food is grown and processed in other countries like China and Mexico, but the point isn't as much where it comes from but what is being done to supply such high demand.

YWeedy2: What they doin?

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...they use all kind of chemicals to get shit to grow bigger and faster like they doing hydro now.

Me: Yep that's exactly what they are doing. Now take a look around and how fat people are these days. How many guts have you seen hanging out of tank tops and tube tops in the street this week?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...that's some real shit! These broads and niggas be out here like it's cool to be fat and shit...(puff, puff)...that shit is digusting but they fat because they don't do shit.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...yeah that just sit on their fat asses and eat...(puff, puff)...it ain't because of fast food!

Me: You guys do have a little point about the lack of working out, but you have to look at the bigger picture. What has happened is that these major corporations, working with pharmaceutical companies, have lobbied government institutions to okay the use of chemicals and hormones to speed up growth of chickens, cows, pigs and even produce, to supposedly keep up with demand. Now the chemicals and hormones are being transferred over to use as consumers and everybody wants to turn a blind eye.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...I ain't buyin that!

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...yeah they wouldn't let that shit slide like that...(puff, puff)...people just lazy and don't do nothin.

Me: Like I said before, the lack of working out is definitely part of the problem but don't be blinded to the overall scheming that's happening. We are definitely becoming a fatter more unhealthy society because of what they use to grow the food they feed us.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...okay so say that that shit is happening...(puff)...people can still work out and not be as fat!

Me: Yeah they could but when you look at what's going on in schools where P.E. programs have become a joke and facilities are no where near suitable, adults have to work ungodly hours or multiple jobs to pay the basic bills and kids spend more time playing video games than ridding bikes. What you should expect the government to do is regulate the chemicals and hormones the pharmaceutical companies use, but instead they allow the pharmaceutical companies to come up with more drugs you can take to help you lose weight.

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...yo that shit is true all you hear about is all these fat pills people can take...(puff, puff)...that's some real shit.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...man that's trippy.

Me: Yeah that's why I say you have to look at the big picture! Things have really gotten so bad now that you can go get the Lap Band procedure to help you eat less. So what the government has help decide for us is that it is better to alter the human body by surgery than control what goes into our food! Then the colder part is that the work with the insurance companies to cover part of the cost of the procedure so that we feel it must be okay if the insurance company covers it. We have reached the tipping point in the glutenous society we have been building since the 80's.

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...I don't know about all that insurance and glutten...whateva you said, but that fat pill shit make sense.

YWeedy1: (puff, puff)...yeah man that was deep! Well we are out of here man gotta get to Mickey D's before it gets to cold to ride.

Me: What? After all that you still going to eat that shit?

YWeedy2: (puff, puff)...hell yeah! I'm munched out! Let's ride.

Me: Alright then just keep that shit in mind.

YWeedy1: Fo sho! You want anything back?

Me: Yeah bring me the two Big Macs! :)
