 Instead, he lived on junk food, worked at McDonald's and took medication pills as directed by his psychiatric doctor. The results speak for themselves: This recipe of processed food and mind-altering drugs created a monster, and yesterday in Omaha, that monster exploded in a rage of violence.
If we don't learn from all this and stop drugging our nation's children, then those innocents in Omaha will have died in vain. And I ask the question: How many more innocent Americans must pay the price for medication-induced violence? |

 PepsiCo's brands include: (followed by my opinion statement about that particular brand)
Frito-Lay: Dangerous junk food that contributes to obesity, heart disease, cancer, depression and other serious diseases.
Pepsi-Cola: Toxic beverages that destroy bone mineral density and poison consumers with chemical sweeteners in diet drinks.
Gatorade: Crap sports drinks that contain artificial colors made from petrochemical derivatives.
Tropicana: A low-end fruit juice brand engaged in deceptive labeling for many of its products. |

 No one is talking seriously about banning soda ads and junk food ads to children, and Big Pharma has bought off lawmakers so completely that there's also no serious discussion of ways to end the madness of direct-to-consumer drug advertising (a dubious practice that isn't even allowed in most other countries).
Rather than protecting the people, politicians are now in bed with the powerful corporations selling foods, drugs and personal care products that actually harm people. There is no real defender of the people who remains in power in Washington. |

| His parents or caretakers should have stopped the junk food, ended the medication and put him on raw, living foods and daily superfood smoothies, fresh vegetable juices, raw nuts and seeds and other wholesome, non-processed foods. Nutrition is the single most powerful factor determining healthy moods and behavior, and virtually all young men who commit violent acts (including the vast majority of those imprisoned in the U.S. today) suffer from wild nutritional deficiencies. |

 But in the end, the only people stupid enough to actually use these machines will be the same people who frequent soda pop and junk food vending machines right now: The ignorant, easily-controlled segment of the population that still somehow believes drugs are good for them and that the FDA is looking out for their best interests. |

 When you give someone this superfood gift set, you'll look like a genius compared to the goofballs who bought a bunch of the same old boring junk food baskets as Christmas gifts. In fact, if you want to make your coworkers look like idiots -- and who doesn't? -- give your boss some superfoods for Christmas!)
Superfoods are especially important around the Christmas season because so many people are eating so much garbage foods that they desperately need a boost in nutrition. |

 Before long, grocery stores will be filled with mind-numbed pharma zombies, lined up at the pharmacy with a bag of junk food in one hand and a prescription in the other.
That Publix would actually think it's a great idea to give away antibiotics for free is yet another astonishing a sign of the times in a world that seems to have sold its soul to the drug companies. This giveaway is their big P.R. stunt, and they actually think they're helping everyone by doing it! But I can think of a thousand things better to give away than antibiotics. How about free cod liver oil supplements for children? |

 All the while, we procrastinate and come up with reasons why we have no time to exercise, yet we continue to spend a huge portion of our free time in front of the television eating junk food. We eat poorly because we have become habituated to fueling our bodies with nutritionally deficient food. When health problems occur, we are relieved that our physicians can wield the prescription pad to treat (not cure) what we have inflicted upon ourselves. We constantly search for anything that will provide a quick-fix solution. |

 Making changes in their diets, such as eliminating stimulating foods like sugar, chocolate and other unnatural sweets, chips, breakfast cereals and basically all junk food, can help most of these children. Many children are highly allergic to artificial colorings and preservatives, soft drinks, packaged fruit juices, and foremost of all, artificial sweeteners that may cause brain damage. As discussed previously, artificial sweeteners are found in most unnatural, sweet- tasting foods and drinks. |
| The enhanced sense of well being and resultant vitality makes it much easier to quit smoking and working too many hours, or to stop eating junk food and living on coffee.
Symptoms of ill health can occur in a variety of intensities and with numerous modifications. Trying to locate the cause of an illness in its effects or via its symptoms is nearly impossible. Stomach ulcers, appendicitis, tonsillitis, arthritis, congested arteries, cancer and most other illnesses merely indicate the presence of various sources and degrees of toxicity. |
| A child who is fed meat, eggs and dairy products, including milk, as well as junk food (low in, or void of, nutritional value) is much more likely to develop digestive problems and children's diseases such as diphtheria, smallpox or septic fever, than a child who eats fruits, salads, vegetables, grain foods, nuts and drinks plenty of fresh water. Most parents feel responsible for the health and safety of their children. By becoming more conscious of their own eating habits, they will automatically want to give their children the best and most nutritious foods and beverages available. |
| It is much more convenient to blame a virus for the cold you catch than to acknowledge that irregular sleeping habits or eating a lot of junk food, and the reasons behind this lifestyle and behavior, may have something to do with it. To repeat, everything negative has an equally positive opposite hidden within it. Given the circumstances that you have created for yourself, it actually is not a stroke of bad luck or a form of punishment that makes you fall ill. |
| The magic food supplements have become an insurance policy against poor diet, and nobody has to feel guilty anymore over eating junk food. And to top it off, scientific research (financed by the vitamin producers) suggests that taking large doses of supplements may protect you against disease, even though there is no real evidence to support that claim. As seen in the sales figures, the public believes that the more vitamins you take, the healthier you become.
But are vitamins really that good for your health? |

 A review of the research shows that diets loaded with junk food increase alcohol intake in animals.2 In a human trial, restricting sugar, increasing complex carbohydrates, and eliminating caffeine also led to a reduction in alcohol craving.3 While the support for dietary intervention remains somewhat unclear, some doctors suggest that alcoholics reduce sugar and junk food intake and avoid caffeine.
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful
Most experts agree that alcoholics must stop drinking completely in order to overcome the addiction. |
| In one trial, a hospital diet was compared with a special diet including fruit and wheat germ and excluding caffeinated coffee, junk food, dairy products, and peanut butter.1 After six months, fewer than 38% of those on the hospital diet remained sober, compared with over 81% of those eating the special diet. A review of the research shows that diets loaded with junk food increase alcohol intake in animals.2 In a human trial, restricting sugar, increasing complex carbohydrates, and eliminating caffeine also led to a reduction in alcohol craving. |

 Krill oil, for example—a "pure cure" for PMS—works even better if you reduce stress, caffeine, sugar, and junk food at the same time.
These are treatments that address the whole person, not just the disease.

Natural Healing: A Hard Sell That's Worth It

| Yes, they have actually compared their operation to the lowest form of junk food available. Like McDonald's, they will continue to serve up as much of their concept as women are willing to consume, and there are plenty of other Curves wannabes out there if you are looking for bare bones fitness clubs with no services.
Fitness with No Curves
If you choose to take the path of joining a fitness club, I recommend you join a full-service quality club that offers a wide variety of equipment, amenities, services and a staff of trained professionals who can help you achieve your goals. |
| Our addiction to TV leads to increased snacking and the consumption of junk food that contain ingredients with addictive qualities. Laced with sugar, salt, saturated fats and chemicals, the snack attack upsets the chemical balance in our brain, which creates cravings for more. The increased consumption created by these unnatural cravings is a major culprit for packing on extra pounds, which has contributed to the obesity epidemic.
Have we convinced ourselves that the calories devoured while watching TV do not count? Or are we so numb from watching TV that we are not paying attention? |

 I'm not recommending junk food or cigarettes, of course, but for people who are engaged in those destructive habits, Juice Feasting can offer them serious nutritional protection from cancer, heart disease and other health conditions.
You could also be doing what I do: Drink five quarts a day and eat a cooked meal along with it. Or you could do it David Rain's way and drink nothing but juice for 92 days straight. That's the purist approach, and it's the best way to go if you're trying to urgently reverse disease.
The beauty of Juice Feasting is that you can work it the way you want. |

| Stop buying junk food and you won't have it to eat when hunger cravings set in. You cannot eat what is not in your pantry, fridge or cabinets. Pre-plan healthier snacks so that you don't trash your entire plan with a box of cookies, bag of chips or candy. Since you can only eat what you have available, if you should not be eating it, you should not be buying it.
• Limit or control your alcohol intake. I like a drink as much as the next person, but these are wasted calories if you are trying to get your weight under control. Alcohol also lowers your inhibitions and makes it easier to cheat. |

| But there are healthy vegans and then there are junk food vegans. I've seen people guzzling soda and eating chips, then calling themselves "vegans." Are you kidding me?
Forget the labels. You don't need a label for your diet. What you need is plant-based medicine. I just call this "Mother Nature's Miracle Healing Drink" for longevity, health and happiness. It's simply the most compact form of nutrition straight from Mother Nature. Note, too, that you can't buy it. You have to make it yourself, in your own kitchen, on a regular basis to drink in fresh. |

| If you take the time to calculate the amount of money you waste on things that actually harm your health, such as junk food, fast food and cigarettes, among many other items that contribute to a toxic lifestyle, you'll be amazed at how affordable fitness can be. All you have to do is give up some of the very things that are preventing you from achieving your health and fitness goals.
Improving your level of health and fitness does not have to be expensive, but it does have to be something that can sustain the test of boredom and time. |

 Or even just to get to be irresponsible and stay out late with friends and eat junk food and go dancing all night, because you don't have to do the super-responsible things that someone with a chronic illness has to do, like get plenty of rest, go to bed early, eat right, and watch your every move."

| It's not my fault fast food and junk food: is all that's out there!"
Do you remember Charles de Coti-Marsh who wrote about the benefits of eating raw, organic foods? Perhaps you can take some: inspiration from his advice, "If beneficial results can be obtained by altering our diets from bad foods to good foods, at a time when the civilised world suffers such painful and formerly incurable diseases, then let every citizen attack by letters to the Press, and by refusal to purchase harmful, so-called eatables offered as foods. |
| Although many schools are now making efforts to remove junk food from their campuses, parents and caregivers must be constantly vigilant for such self-supporting actions taken by school educators and administrators.
Reading the labels of sweet snacks and drinks can be confusing and manufacturers will often mask sugar as something else. Don't let the following terms fool you—they're all variants of refined sugar.

 After two months on the junk food, two of the mice killed and ate the third.
At the end of the three-month experiment, the two remaining junk food mice were fed whole foods. In about three weeks, their behavior once again became calm and gentle.
When teacher Sister Luigi Frigo heard about the mice experiment, she decided to repeat it with her second grade class in Cudahy, Wisconsin, and has done so every year for seven years. To protect the mice, however, she limits the junk food diet to only four days. |

 As I write, Coca-Cola is introducing vitamin-fortified sodas, extending the Wonder Bread strategy of supplementation to junk food in its purest form. (Wonder Soda?) The big money has always been in processing foods, not selling them whole, and the industry's investment in the reductionist approach to food is probably safe. The fact is, there is something in us that loves a refined carbohydrate, and that something is the human brain. The human brain craves carbohydrates reduced to their energy essence, which is to say pure glucose. |
