One Question

just giving him what he asked for. honestly, i dont understand why people don't just do what they want. who cares if it makes you more of one thing and less of another? what the hell is a hippie anyway? who the fuck cares? just be yourself. if you eat taco bell, good for you. if you dont eat taco bell, good for you. all im saying is dont ever try to be something you're not, and satire is always a great tool to cause change by ridicule.

 

The only problem with satire is that it passes well over some peoples heads. I thought it was very well done.



As far as I am concerned, everybody should try to think about what they are doing - If after thinking about it, they think it is OK. Then as far as I am concerned if it hurts no one, it is OK. BTW, yes I know that supporting the machine with your money hurts all of us. However, my life is not free enough of corporate support for me to throw any stones.

 

good point. i like to think that most people should KNOW whether an act will be harmful to others or not, but i guess some of us do have to ask that question.

i often wonder if it is possible to live in the burbs, and not sponsor corporations in some way

 

well...I think it is best for your health and for the world if you try and give it up or cut down on all that stuff. I know it is hard to avoid it because it is so easy and tasty but think of all the bad you do when you eat it and the only reason its tasy is because they put tons of MSG in it. Just even eating less of it and i mean like every once a month or so is really good. I have gone like more than half a year without eating fast food, and i avoid red meats. Take it one step at a time.

 

You're absolutely right about steps. I've given up on McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and Burger King. I know that I'll never eat their food again. But I still like Wendy's, Taco Bell, most Pizza, and most kinds of Philly Cheese Steaks. I know it's bad for me, but I usually only eat it, once a week. I usually eat a nice home cooked meal most of the time. I just eat fast food when I'm out with my friends. I know that a lot of you are very anti-fast food and anti-meat eating. I guess that I'm just open minded to a lot of things, even stuff that may be bad for me (but definitely not conservatives or Republicans or Catholics, that's some bad shit right there). Everybody who says that fast food is so anti-hippie, I agree with you to a certain point, but I guess I'll stop in a couple of years.

 

As a MA ( Medical Assistant) I can tell you right now if you stop eating it and start again you will know without a doubt how bad it is for you... Try this.... Go without eating ANY fastfood and if you can carbonated drinks for at least 3 weeks! Stick with Fruits,Veggies,Breads,Beans,Pasta and, if you like fish like tuna it's meat but it has alot of protein! and only drink water,milk,jucies and,teas. Then when you've done that for 3 weeks at least more if you like! go and have a nice big taco or hamburger with a soda... See what happens and then tell me you still want to eat fastfood.... Hint~ All the Pepto in the world wont save you!!!

 

leave the mexicans alone! eat fellow americans!!

 

when you start getting fat, stop eating it. problem solved.

 

Ya know what you're absolutely right. Cause I've had homemade meals the last couple days and I feel better after that than fast food. So I'm gonna stop for a while. I'll just not buy anything to eat when I go out with friends. I'll just pack a lunch or something.

 

hippies eat grass

 

no, just makes you a lazy hippie

 

Not to mention less healthy.

 

damn straight we do. :H.

 

Uh know zoh little, little bluudy.

 

I'm so glad to hear it. Now that I've had REAL Mexican food (I lived with Mexican relatives for a month) I call it Taco Hell.

I don't like meat but if I told you not to eat it I wouldn't be a hippie, would I?

 

Actually my dad makes great homemade tacos better anyway. So I'll just eat that in lieu of Taco Hell.
