Food Network | Food Network Recipes

This refers to the poison of Food Network, the network indirectly responsible for almost everything that ails us. If you accepted a few weeks ago, expecting to gain weight this season - regardless - you're probably right. Man, you've got cable.

If you are not eating organic as much as possible, you're in trouble. In the eighties, the buzz was just starting over genetically modified foods, (the new Food Network), and if we know the difference. Fast forward to today, almost every product in every store has some kind of "change" as if nature needs improvement. Are not bananas only the perfect fruit, complete with its own case for transport? I needed to "fit"? All for profit.

The problem is that nobody knows the effect of all this manipulation. I can see a clear, everyone seems to be fat. It is very easy. Maize, which has become a main ingredient in damn near everything has been modified to contain as much sugar and starch, which can hardly eat. Corn on the cob tastes like dust. Food Network venom produces islands and islets of empty calories in your local market.

Food | Fast Food

Many people think that the McDonald brothers of California started the fast food craze in America, but in reality, was the White Castle hamburger chain that actually started fast food history in America. J. Walter Anderson opened the first White Castle in 1916 in Wichita, Kansas, and people liked the cheap hamburgers, fries and cola offered. However, fast food really did not become common in America until after World War II, when Americans began to fall in love with their cars, and had free time and more money to spend on eating out.

The McDonald brothers

The real heroes of the story of fast food in America are Richard and Maurice McDonald, the two brothers who created the first McDonald's restaurant in 1948 in San Bernardino, California. They wanted their restaurant more efficient and profitable, so he devised a simple menu in a small building without any tables, so people took their food and ate in their cars. In 1953, the brothers had decided to franchise his idea, and two franchises opened in Downey, California and Phoenix, Arizona.

Getting Out of the Car Habit

Ever since I started travelling to work by bicycle I have been driving my car a lot less.  It's not just the work trips: I'm less inclined to drive my car anywhere.

For example, on Thursday I rode my bike to work and back home again.  I work a short day each Thursday so I was home by about 2 o'clock.  I then realised that I needed to put a cheque in the bank, and even though rain was threatening, instead of taking the car I walked to the bank.  

I didn't really think about it at the time, but after I came back home I realised that in the past I wouldn't even have considered walking to the bank.  I can't believe how many short trips I have driven in my life, when I could easily have walked.

The advantages of riding a bicycle or walking short trips instead of driving are enormous.  You become much more aware of the world around you.  You can smile and say g'day to others who are out and about.  Your level of fitness will improve.  And of course, you'll save petrol, which is good for your bank balance.

Of course, I still drive sometimes.  For instance, I haven't worked out how to manage a weekly grocery shop for six people on my bicycle yet, although I know if I had to I could do multiple trips on the bike.  I am wary of cycling at night as it doesn't feel safe, even with flashing lights on the bike.  And kids' sporting events are often too far away, and travelled via really busy roads, to make them safe for this nervous bike-riding mother and her children.

However, I often arrive at the weekend to discover that I haven't use the car since the previous weekend.  I am saving money and getting fitter in the process.  And it feels so easy.
