 There are people who love hamburgers – you know, "hamburger" is a bad word today -- and they like to spread it over the hamburger before cooking. They find a way.
Mike: Chia hamburgers.
Ayerza: Yes, it's funny but it's true. There are many ways to do it.
Mike: Well, those are good suggestions. Because it's a nutty taste, and it's crunchy but it's not too hard. It's not like chewing on stones or anything.
Ayerza: And it's very interesting. If you choose chia capsules, you will find the taste of the oil is like the chia seed – it's a good one. |

 Have you ever eaten a hamburger or had a Coke?" I asked. I knew that Okinawa had more fast-food restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Japan; what may be the biggest A&W restaurant in the world was just 30 miles south of here. Perhaps she had visited one?
Kamada's forehead wrinkled. She leaned over to her daughter, for interpretation. "She never drank a Coke in her life," the daughter answered. When she first saw a hamburger a few years ago, Kamada had asked, "What do you do with that?"
"My mother eats in the tradition of women her age," the daughter continued. |

 For example, the health effect of a hamburger cannot be simply attributed to the effect of a few grams of saturated fat in the meat. Saturated fat is merely one ingredient. Hamburgers also include other types of fat, in addition to cholesterol, protein and very small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Even if you change the level of saturated fat in the meat, all of the other nutrients are still present and may still have harmful effects on health. It is a case of the whole (the hamburger) being greater than the sum of its parts (the saturated fat, the cholesterol, etc.). |

 A typical hamburger in 1957 weighed 1 ounce and contained 210 calories. Today, that same hamburger is 6 ounces and packs 618 calories. What's worse: 25 percent of the vegetables eaten in the United States are french fries.
Despite the choices you have every day over what you eat and what you do, the mere convenience and reliability of fast food—and even processed foods found at local markets—has programmed many Americans in a way that makes eating this food a mindless act. That is, people eat these foods without thinking about what they are doing or how it will affect them in the long run. |

 A BAD HAMBURGER
The Swedes began looking into a possible soybean connection when a young girl suffered an asthma attack and died after eating a hamburger that contained only 2.2 percent soy protein. A team of researchers collected data on all fatal and life-threatening reactions caused by food between 1993 and 1996 in Sweden and found that the soy-in-the-hamburger case was not a fluke, and that soy was indeed the culprit. They evaluated 61 cases of severe reactions to food, of which five were fatal, and found that peanuts, soy and tree nuts caused 45 of the 61 reactions. |

 The fast-food hamburger has been brilliantly engineered to offer a succulent and tasty first bite, a bite that in fact would be impossible to enjoy if the eater could accurately picture the feedlot and the slaughterhouse and the workers behind it or knew anything about the "artificial grill flavor" that made that first bite so convincing.This is a hamburger to hurry through, no question. |

 In what essentially amounts to a hamburger with Kobe beef pricing, Chanel has produced an 8% glycolic acid serum, packaged in rhree stacked plastic trays, each containing seven single-use mini-tubes of product. The product's pH of 3.8 does ensure exfoliation, and the water and silicone base feels exceprionally light and silky, but the price is outrageous! |

 For example, produce is much harder to store than, say, frozen hamburger patties. Other challenges include standardization and mass production of messy, perishable fruits and vegetables. Such annoyances of nature add up to more complexity and higher costs. As Matthew Paull, McDonald's chief financial officer candidly explained to the Economist magazine, "There is no question that we make more money from selling hamburgers and cheeseburgers. |
| Data from NPD Foodworld indicate that the number-one entree ordered by men in America is a hamburger and the number-one selection among women is french fries, followed by hamburgers.27 Also, a typical Burger King outlet sells only 4 or 5 of its allegedly healthier Veggie Burgers in a day compared to 300 to 500 of any other sandwich or burger on the menu.28
Burgers are more profitable than salads
Fast-food chains are faced with unavoidable food-related obstacles when it comes to serving truly healthy alternatives. |

| This is a hamburger to hurry through, no question. By comparison, eating a grass-fed burger when you can picture the green pastures in which the animal grazed is a pleasure of another order, not a simple one, to be sure, but one based on knowledge rather than ignorance and gratitude rather than indifference.
To eat slowly, then, also means to eat deliberately, in the original sense of that word: "from freedom" instead of compulsion. |

 And why, despite weeks of "good" behavior, you ultimately succumb to the lure of a triple cheese-bacon hamburger with a super-size order of fries or hot fudge sundae, and effectively say, "Screw the diet"? Yes, for about six weeks just about anyone can control any one—or even several—of these parameters, but eventually control always seems to be wrenched from you, doesn't it? Diets fail because they don't deal with who's really in control over the long term: your unseen autopilot. stairs a step at a time. |
| What does that have to do with eating a rare hamburger? Well, if a vitamin necessary for life is not found in abundance in the diet, an organism can usually manufacture it out of molecular building blocks. Because cows and other animals, but not plants, make B]2 in large quantities, we get it in our diet and no longer need to make our own. Likewise, most animals manufacture their own vitamin C, but humans don't. We can surmise that plants high in vitamin C were so abundant in our early diet that we simply lost the need for that genetic code-or, more accurately, it is just not "turned on. |

| Most people would be proud of themselves for ordering that dish instead of a hamburger and fries. Unfortunately, it's not as healthful as you might think. As the vegetables are heated, precious enzymes and vitamins can be reduced or destroyed; they are no longer living sources of energy. Charles de Coti-Marsh stated a balanced uncooked meal, "...provides all the vitamins for the body's defense against diseases, anti-catarrhal factors, anti-ageing factors, anti-arthritic factors, anti-excess-calcium factors, sunshine vitamins, anti-sterility factors and rebuilding factors. |

 MEAT SUBSTITUTES
Health food stores and supermarkets now sell innumerable products that look and taste like hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, cold cuts, pepperoni slices, meatballs, ham, Canadian bacon, sliced poultry, chicken nuggets, and "hamburger crumbles" for casseroles—all without a shred of meat. Most are made from soy or wheat gluten (seitan).
Precooked and ready to eat, they are the ultimate in convenience. Brands vary widely in fat content and ingredients (e.g., some contain egg or dairy products), so check the labels. |

 And much of that budget goes to fat-filled, processed fast foods, inevitably containing fast-acting carbs as a major component of the meal (think hamburger buns, fries, and onion rings).
"Americans spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music—combined," Eric Schlosser reveals in Fast Food Nation. |

 For example, there are tasty, higher-fiber whole wheat hot dog and hamburger buns now at most supermarkets, including national chains like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Markets. Or when you're having hot or cold breakfast cereal, reach for one that has plenty of whole wheat. When a Chinese restaurant offers you a choice between brown and white rice or an Italian restaurant offers the option of whole wheat pasta (some do here in California), take the whole grain ball and run with it. |

 Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain breads are in the frozen foods section of most health food stores and an increasing number of regular supermarkets, and they come in many forms— from sliced loaves (especially good toasted), to tortillas and delicious hamburger or hot dog buns. Read the ingredients.
There are three cooking implements that we have found indispensable. One is a rice cooker. You put in rice and water and simply walk away; the rice cooks on its own, worry-free, and you can even start it early. The second is a microplane, which you can find at any good kitchen store. |

 News & World Report noted the growth in burgers:
Weight Calories
Typical hamburger in 1957 1 ounce 210
Typical hamburger today 6 ounces 6183
And, a plain hamburger is not the typical order at fast-food chains. Accompanying the meat can be cheese, bacon, and sauces. Jack in the Box serves a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger with 1,120 calories and a staggering seventy-five grams of fat (more than ten grams of fat above the total recommended for an entire day).
The food companies boast openly about the portions, using mighty words to describe what they serve. |

 Researchers at Packard Children's Hospital in California asked 63 children, ages three and five, to taste-test servings of hamburger, French fries, chicken nuggets, baby carrots and milk. Some of the servings were wrapped in containers with a McDonald's logo, and some were wrapped in containers with no logo. As expected, most of the kids thought the food in the McDonald's containers tasted better than the identical food with no logo.
It doesn't take much to convince an unsuspecting mother that the beautifully packaged foods are actually good for her children. |

 Hint: You will only find nitrite-free meat products in two places in the grocery store: 1) In the fresh meat section where you can buy freshly-ground hamburger, for example, and 2) In the freezer, where you can find "natural" meat products that are nitrite-free.
What are the dangerous chemicals in processed meats?
Sodium nitrite is one of the most dangerous chemicals added to processed meats. Please be aware:
You MUST read the ingredients list to find the sodium nitrite! Meat product companies do not list this ingredient on the front of the package. |

 For example, some of the "ingredients" commonly used in animal factory feed include: (think hard about this list the next time you order a hamburger...)
Excessive grains -- Abnormally high amounts can make the animals sick, especially natural grass eaters like cattle. Their bodies are not designed to handle a corn-rich diet; as a result, these animals can form liver abscesses and excessively acidic digestive systems. |

 Today, you can find fast food restaurants, pizza joints and hamburger stands in hospitals all across the country. It should be an embarrassment to organized medicine. It should be an outrage to every patient who enters such an institution. These are supposed to be places of health, yet they are serving people foods with toxic ingredients like sodium nitrate, saturated animal fats, refined white flour in the buns of these hamburgers and MSG in the meats. There's sugar in the tomato sauce, acrylamides in the fried foods, and hardly a speck of life left in the menus of most hospitals. |
