Actually Burger king and Steak and Shake are the only fast food burgers I will eat.
I took king off the list after inspecting a few of their stores a few years ago...when I seen china written on the frozen burger packages that as enough for me

And have to watch out for the China Talapia in seafood places too.
Water pollution is horrible in much of China.

When I lived in FL a nice restaurant at Clearwater was caught selling Chinese Talapia as Red Snapper and charging a premium price for it too.

Hey Burger King has Spam Burgers in HI.
Kinda Spam everything over there.

Alaskans eat a lot of spam too - second only to Hawaii I hear

Never touch the stuff myself, even before I jumped on the health food train

I eased up on my strict dietary guidelines when Mr Juicy was in the hospital and got rewarded with a big fat cold that is kicking my ass

That is from hanging around all those sick people at hospitals and such.

I think its because I didn't bring or buy my own regular food - even eating the hospital salad bar is full of lethal toxins; combine that with the cortisol released from stress and you are vulnerable to every germ that comes along

Well, I think I read back to find it was very hot in AZ today. I think our high was 42 (mostly 38-39), fog with visibility of less than 1/2 mile, and rain all damn day long. Weather guessers claim tomorrow to be the same. I didn't do much.
Wasn't bad today, mid 90's perhaps....which feels pretty good with no humidity.

Hard to believe your still getting crappy weather.

I did that earlier this afternoon... well, didn't actually hit the hay... just pushed a couple bales around the barn. :xD:

Yeah, I agree. Must have something to do with Global Cooling... :giggle: I wish those Canadians would keep their damn air masses instead of exporting them to us.

I've always had a hard time sleeping, I'm always thinking I should be doing something....bidding a job, etc....been like that my entire adult life, if I get six hours sleep a night it's nothing short of a miracle.

I'm accustomed to not sleeping much....I really feel good with five-six hours sleep.

I know most people and the medial community recommended at least eight hours sleep....I don't trust the medical community, and never will....:teehee:

Exactly, Jimi...if anyone in the medical had a backbone, they would tell the American people their own bodies can cure MOST disease, without anything from big-pharma.
I should have said HONEST in the medical community. I despise the so called medical professionals....their no good greddy pieces of shit, 98% of them are no good. If I need help for anything, I'll chose a naturopath before a medical doctor.

It'd a true shame, how it has gotten I can remember when I was a kid there were a few doctors that actually cared about their patients. I don't trust them to do my blood work but haven't really have much choice

Yeah, your correct, the ole family doctor, I think we called um...seemed to care about your health. Now it's how much medicine can we prescribe to this individual.

Like Jimi said, some of us have no choice. I have had many operations through the V.A. system at no cost to me. I get new eye glasses every year for free. I get my hearing aids (new every five years, repairs any time) for free. I get my pain drugs for $8/month, regardless of what Big Pharma would like to charge. So I have to go in twice a year for check ups and blood tests. If I refuse? Then I am flat cut off from all the rest of it. Period.

Why sure, they have seen just how much "extra" money they can make buy handing out those prescriptions and that is what they are learning in schools, it's a wonderful world we live in.
It should be against the law, and doctors should not receive commissions from big pharma from prescriptions they write. Why nobody is asking this question is beyond me....most cancer doctors are millionaires just by prescribing chemo.

never was the word nutritionist mentioned by any doctor I've ever seen
I hear it often at the V.A., and they even have an actual acupuncturist on staff. Yes, real live alternative medicine. I am going next month to a pain management meeting where I get to talk to several alternative types about methods "other than drugs."

I've had some serious digestive problems in the past, never was the word nutritionist mentioned by any doctor I've ever seen, just take this, and come back in a month..if that doesn't work, we'll try something else.


Nutritionists generally are not worth a hoot either -
