ARE YOU A PROCESSED PERSON?

Processed People are everywhere!

I recently came across a video that I just had to share with you. (It is not a new movie, just new to me) I am a documentary junkie, and I have seen a boatload of them…from Food Matter to Forks Over Knives to Fresh to Plastic Planet to The Story of Stuff…and the list goes on and on…You can see a bunch of them on my Great Movies Pinterest board.  

Never Stop Learning!

I just love to learn about new concepts and new ways of doing things and certain aspects of life that we are not taught in school and definitely are not told about on the evening news.  So when I came across this movie, I wanted to get the word out.  

My family does not eat at McDonald’s, Burger King, Jack in the Box or any of the widely advertised fast food restaurants, although sadly, we used to.  We would stop by on the way home from school or work maybe once or twice a week and pick up what we thought was the “healthiest” thing on the menu. LOL!  Looking back, I can’t believe that we fell for the hype.   I mean the smell of one of these places alone can send me on a bathroom run…  

Why do we fall for the advertisements?

 I hear repeatedly that these fast food places are very bad for you, so it’s not like there is a secret conspiracy going around…but as we drive by yet another one that is packed full of cars, I wonder why people continue to eat at these restaurants. 

I hope as my children grow that they will not fall victim to the advertisers.  I hope I have instilled enough sense into them to keep them out of these awful, quickie, food joints.

Watch the trailer to Processed People and then go see the film.
