Nutritional Boosters, Healthy Diets And American Nutrition

Visiting America again I am constantly amazed by the super-sized people. There are so many people now waddling through doors built for the masses of an earlier time. On Amtrak the 50 year old dining cars did not leave enough room for so many of the travelers to fit into the booths. The TV spews out a constant stream of junk food ads, convenience foods, instant foods, fast foods, drive-thru meals and even ads from Taco Bell for the second dinner or fourth meal -- I was impressed with the bald pandering to the public not just to supersize 3 non-squares a day but to add yet another high cholesterol, high fat, high calorie meal to their day.
