    I agree that as a society as a whole we should start or be eating healthier. Buy I can't say I agree with your view that "most" of the drivers out here are fat or over weight.

    Try the McDonald's salads if you never have. They're actually pretty good. Just don't dump the whole bag of dressing on it.

    I don't know why so many people believe this. It's a complete fallacy. Microwaved veggies have nearly the same nutrient value as steamed veggies (unless they are simply boiled in the microwave).

    There is nothing wrong with microwaving food.

    A scientific, peer reviewed study:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19397724

    And a quick New York Times McArticle:

    You claim "bad science" but you posted a link to an article that HAS NO SOURCES linked to support it's claims that microwaved food is worse than any other cooking method.

    But that's what I'd expect from mercola.com. They specialize in fear mongering and misrepresentations of other articles and studies to generate website hits. After all, it's all about capitalism, right?

    Next you'll tell me you get dietary advice from Prevention magazine.

    Post links to peer reviewed studies, and I'll read them with an open mind. Until then the whole "microwaved food is bad" thing is just wives tales at best, fear mongering most likely.

    You're right, I just threw some random sheet up there because I personally don't need an article to tell me what I've been told by my grandparents. The same as they've been told by theirs.

    If you want doctors and pharmaceutical corporations to tell you that sheet straight from the earth (everything I suggested) is bad or not as good as the crap the they want you to consume out of their LABORATORIES then go right ahead. #### it.

    This is a stupid conversation and I don't need articles to prove it.

    All I know is my oven doesn't explicitly warn me of the extream danger that may come from simply standing near it while it's on. Yet, you think it's perfect fine to cook food you ingest and breakdown inside your body in a ####ing microwave .

    #### articles and research. You wanna live long and healthy I would suggest you stick very close to everything straight natural, straight from the earth with no ######## in it. Just Like people did before we had 1000s of diseases most people can even pronounce. Where the #### do you think we are getting all these diseases from. Evolution? No #####es. The food!

    You go ahead and nuke your ####ing food with box that's not even safe to stand next to. Grab a burger that doesn't spoil from you favorite fast food joint. Drink #### that would kill your dogg. And take meds that give you symptoms worst than what it treats.

    And as long as a ####ing doctor or an article with ####ing referances say it's ok then you go ahead a March blindly towards it.

    Because big agra and big pharma loves you and would never hurt you. Awww kiss kiss smooch smooch. It's not about money at all. Comming from the same people who would comfortably prescribed you acne medications that give you suicidal thoughts.

    Lol. Pity the fool.

    Like I said. Learn from history. It is no longer safe to believe our governments . And it's never been safe to believe corporations. So if it's not ####ing safe to simply standing next to a microwave do the math on what it does to the food that you put inside your body. INSIDE YOU BODY PEOPLE.!!!

    Lazy America. Cook that #### on the stove. Buy a portable electronic griddle for you truck. Haven't you ever tasted the difference between the same exact food cook on the stove and then in the microwave.

    Why does the microwave significantly change the taste.

    I think each person is different... some have high blood pressure while others, like myself have low blood pressure... I like salt and buy the real thing, raw salt from the sea, not refined or anything... buy at a health food store in bulk and store enough for all the months that I stay on the road...
