Cardiac Matters




How isit that there are no warning labels or health risk warning on Unhealthy foods ?

Among all consumables, we have health warnings on cigarettes saying that it kill you, and higher tax on cigarettes and alcohol thats known as Sin Tax.

Well, the leading disease now is all heart related. Clogging arteries to cardiac arrests to stroke. And by large are contributed by a unhealthy diet and a sedantary lifestyle. Ok, smoking contributes largely to it as well but does it share the ammount of negativity?

Ths point is, how come there is so much negative publicity over dangers of smoking and alcohol but not fried oily food, high calorie carbonated drinks, artifical chemicals in food, etc etc etc. Alright, we might have campaigns on healthy eating, daily exercises, but are they effective ? I doubt so. Its like cigarette anti-smoking campaign in their early years, not effective.

I think we should put health warning labels on Fast Foods, nutrition facts should be relabeled as Contents because most of them are not nutrition.

Everything that goes into your body affects you in a way...positively or negatively. We are very fragile.
