Our most powerful secret weapon against competitor countries today is probably the tobacco, soda and fast foods industry.
But they are high in sugar, carbohydrate and fat content (not to mention preservatives and coloring chemicals)!
Look at your typical fast food delicacy. A fatty hamburger, with fatty French fries and a devilish chemical brew, called a cola. Even many school lunches are guilty of this.
We are starving our kids nutritionally, but we just donāt know it because it looks and tastes great (sweet).
There are of course, my foods that are not just lacking in constructive nutrients but are directly damaging in their effects. Alcohol and drugs including tobacco (which some kids chew, thanks to some of our baseball heroes), lead the list.
We are probably, ironically, created more adversity for our Russian and Chinese competitors recently through our tobacco, Soda and Fast Food Industries than we ever did with the CIA.
