This is a copy of a post from Mike Geary, a certified personal trainer, certified nutrition specialist and author.  He breaks down a typical fast food meal.

Here goes... Did you realize that when you eat a typical meal at a Fast Food joint, that you are basically eating almost entirely CORN (genetically modified corn too) ... and no, there is really NOTHING healthy about eating almost all of your calories from corn!

Let me explain...

Let's think about the typical fast food meal that somebody gets at a corner fast food joint... that common meal would be:

a cheeseburger
a side of fries
a soft drink (usually soda)

Surprisingly most people don't realize they are taking in about 90-95% of their calories essentially from CORN when they eat this kind of fast food meal (can we really call it a "meal").
The other calories come from wheat and soy derivatives mostly... certainly nothing healthy there either!  Let's break it down...

The soda or other soft drink obtains 100% of it's calories from a corn derivative -- high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

The cheeseburger contains beef from a factory farm feedlot where the cattle ate almost entirely corn... also the cheese comes from milk from unhealthy corn-fed cows from factory farm feedlots... between the beef and the cheese, almost all of your calories are originally derived from corn, but just transformed in a way.

The bun on the burger contains corn derivatives including HFCS. The rest of the calories in the bun come from refined wheat flour and possibly a small amount of soybean oil.  Basically, almost 100% of the calories from the burger come from corn, soy, and wheat.

Now comes the fries...

Most of the calories in the fries come from the oil that's soaked into them from deep frying in either corn oil or soybean oil (hydrogenated usually).  NOT good! 

So basically, the ONLY calories in this typical fast food meal that don't come from corn, soy, or wheat is the potato portion of the fries... and of course when potatoes are deep fried in oil, they create cancer-causing acrylamides.

You wonder how anybody can eat even one bite of fast food knowing these facts... or maybe they DON'T know these facts...and that's the problem.

Now you can see how 90-95% of the calories in a typical fast food meal actually come mostly from corn, soy, and wheat derivatives... and certainly NOT healthy versions either!

You can learn more from the documentaries King Corn and Food Inc.  In fact, I just watched Food Inc. and learned about how food manufacturing has drastically changed over the years, and the role of big business in this transformation.  I admit that I had to turn my head away a couple of times and I am not by any means a vegetarian.  Still, I recommend that everyone watch it and reach their own decision.  After all, knowledge is power, right?

Some days we have so much energy and pep that we feel 20 again, while on other days we feel twice our age.  Do you want to know what your body’s age is?  Parts I and II of this test are taken from Women’s Health magazine.  It is a Body-Age Calculator.

Part I
1. What is your current age?  ____

2. Divide your hip measurement by your waist measurement, both in inches.
Less than 0.816, add 4 years
0.816 or higher, do nothing
New age  ____

3. Place the first two fingers of your right hand on the inside of your left wrist just below your thumb to take your pulse.  Count the number of beats for 10 seconds, then multiply that number by 6.
54 to 59, subtract 4 years
60 to 64, subtract 2 years
65 to 72, subtract 1 year
73 to 76, add 2 years
77 or more, add 4 years
New age  ____

4. Sit on the floor with your back straight, legs together, and arms out in front of you at shoulder level.  Mark on the floor beside your legs the point directly below your fingertips, then slowly reach forward, keeping your legs straight.  Mark where your fingertips reach, then measure the distance in inches between the two marks.
0 to 10”, add 3 years
10.1 to 15”, add 2 years
15.1 to 16, subtract 2 years
16.1 or more, subtract 3 years
New age  ____

5.  Do as many modified push ups (on your knees) as you can without stopping, keeping your body in a straight line and lowering your chest within 4” of the floor.
0 to 4 push ups, add 2 years
5 to 24 push ups, add 1 year
25 to 39 push ups, subtract 1 year
40 or more push ups, subtract 2 years
New age  ____

6. Lean against a wall with your heels about two feet away from it and shoulder-width apart, arms extended in front of you at shoulder level.  Slide down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your heels on the floor, and hold for as long as possible.  Time yourself in seconds.  This is called a wall sit.
0 to 30, add 2 years
31 to 60, add 1 year
61 to 90, subtract 1 year
91 or more, subtract 2 years
New age  ____
