Lend me your ear is my personal soap box so please bear with me as I touch on some very sensitive topics.

We all desire to be informed but unfortunately the information contained herein will shock you and hopefully stir you to take action against the poisons we put into our bodies daily.

How many times have we heard about a case where people are suing some fast food restaurant for the fatty foods they serve? I use to think this was a ridiculous way to make a quick buck. After all, you don't go to McDonald's for a healthy meal. Everyone knows that fast food is a quick way to deal with your hunger. We live in a quick fix generation where home cooked meals are the rarity.

But how many of us really look at the consequences for the quick burger or the greasy french-fry? I, like most of you grew up eating greasy, fatty foods rather than a balanced meal. Everyone these days finds themselves standing in line at a Meal-In-A-Box rather than at the grocery store planning healthy meals for our family. We run to the phone to call up the local pizza joint rather than living on the 4 basic food groups. And . . . we are paying for our hasty lifestyle with our lives.

Do we ever stop to think what we are putting into our bodies are killing us slowly?

More on that later!
