Quotes

  • Nastyahas quoted7 years ago
    Many fast foods contain chemicals that are addictive and can contribute to a number of diseases, many of which are the common killers of our modern society. Besides the chemicals, most pre-packaged fast food has high sugar and/or salt content. Studies have shown that the higher a person’s intake of sugar, the higher their risk of obesity and diabetes.
  • Nastyahas quoted7 years ago
    Vast forests have been cleared to make way for grazing beef cattle, and the pollution pouring from factory farms and slaughterhouses has done incalculable damage to the environment.
