Fast Cars, Fast Food, Fast Life

When you speed you may crash and have a very fast life. But when you have fast food... will it also lead to a fast life? During the weekend watched Supersized Me on Arts Central. This is the first time I am watching the documentary movie. The results seems so dangerous. He is said to have liver damage. Yup yup high sugar, high fat, high salt expected results. But the liver part... a little unexpected. But my take on the movie is that true that fast food is not good for health but taking it 3 times a day is a little extreme. And I agreed with him that to them it is a business, they want to have profits, gains and make some money on the way.

Luring children into the restaurant part with playgrounds and toys give aways? I a bit disagree. It is the over all package. Nowadays everyones wants a single place that sells everything. where you can get and do everything. When you grab a soda why not pay your bills at the same time? The toys that they sell with happy meals? Why did anyone say anything about that toy companies that do the tie-in with they. The toy companies also know that the fast food is not too good for health. Should they go to some salad, milk or fruit company to have a tie-in?

I am not saying that the fast food chains are not serving not so healthy food. The main thing is self- control. We as consumers should make a choice. Excise, eat less like may be 2 or 3 times a month? Get the healthy stuff, salads etc. Don't up size unnecessarily. Oh btw I went to a fast food chain to get a burger and they really did ask if I wanted to upsize. Add a side? Add a patty? Up the drink? etc. CONTROL. Is the word. But on the other hand maybe the chains should also make it less tempting? Less convenient? Oh just to add the movie was filmed in 2003. Quite sometime ago.

Closer to current time is the flip flop and flip again petrol rules. Don't quite know what is the state now. Luckily do not pump there. But the prices of petrol really have sky- rocketed.

Broke mine own vow of not donating to any of those bin at MRTs, Bus terminal, linkways etc. I told myself not to donate after the 04 saga of NKF then Youth Challenge then Re Ci. The first two have ended, not quite sure about the last one. Who issit to you may ask? To the Sichun quake victims. Not much but I hope it will help. Miss SS said something not too nice. Erm... well was it take out of context? I am not too sure. But at such a event, comment on a natural disaster, with so much media, and of such a level of stardom. Caution is much needed.

Two "fiends" at work. Tempting me to such an extent. Argh... The temptation is so strong. Fight Fight I much.
