(NaturalNews) On the heels of Olympian Michael Phelps' deal with Kellogg's to promote sugary breakfast cereals -- a move for which he was widely criticized -- NaturalNews has learned that Phelps is also involved in a deal with McDonald's to introduce Chinese children to American junk food. According to Xinhuanet.com, a mainstream news source in China, Michael Phelps is serving as an ambassador for a program sponsored by McDonald's to bring Chinese children to the Olympics and serve them American fast food.

But keep reading, and see why Michael Phelps may deserve another chance at being a true hero, and why I've personally volunteered to be his nutrition coach.

Pushing junk foods is an American tradition, it seems. Introduce a nation to our processed foods and junk foods, and in just one generation, its population will need our high-profit pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy drugs, too. Because once a nation starts eating American junk foods, degenerative disease is not far behind: Cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, infertility, behavior disorders and a whole lot more. These are the debilitating health conditions caused by eating fast food and junk food on a regular basis. (Just ask Morgan Spurlock of Supersize Me.)

Coke, Pepsi, McDonald's... these are the food industry ambassadors of the United States, it seems, and in my opinion they only bring disease and death to the countries they target. Olympian Michael Phelps is currently an active participant in this "junk food imperialism" that's sweeping through China, ensnaring hundreds of millions of children in a junk food diet that may doom many of them to deadly diseases later in life.

Of course, if you ask Coke, Pepsi and McDonald's, all their products are perfectly healthy and there's no relationship between fast food and poor health. Perhaps that's what Michael Phelps believes, too. But no informed consumer (or even doctor) believes that anymore. It is now common knowledge that sugary soda pop contributes to obesity, diabetes and bone loss. It is also common knowledge that eating at McDonald's on a regular basis is extremely unhealthy. Just look at the nutrition facts on a Big Mac: An incredible 29 grams of fat, 10 grams of heart-clogging saturated fat, virtually no fiber and over a thousand milligrams of sodium! And that doesn't even count the fries and Coke that usually accompany it.

If we want to see China become a meat-eating, environment-destroying, health-suppressing, disease-infested cattle-factory abyss like much of America, then rounding up Chinese children and bringing them to McDonald's is certainly the way to accomplish that.
