the national eating disorder

    it's hard to say that our diet is disordered, because as we know, we are eating junk food orderly everyday. bamburgers, frieds, and coke.
    but, what dose the national eating disorder really means? is that means we are eating nothing we shouldn't eat? is that means we use breakfest as lunch or dinner? no. national eating disorder means even though we human is a kind of omnivorous animal but we are actually eating one thing in stead of other food. in the book omnivorous dilamma it says that actully we are eating corn all the time. for example, look at the food in your dishes, what do you have? mushed potato, pork or chicken, and corn? oh yes, corn is corn, that's true, but is other food really itself? let's talk about pork, in most of the farm, pigs are always fed by corn, so it's a kind of corn actually. now, how about potato? same thing, farmers are using corn as fertilizer, so, potato is actually corn too!
    you might can say that: we are in america, and we have a lot of choices about food, so some how we mast can avoid the corn. so, let us have a look at our diet, Mcdonald's? KFC? (didn't finish)
