CHICAGO — Fast food outlets are common inside U.S. children’s hospitals, leading more patients to consume hamburgers and fries and encouraging them to view the fare as healthier than it probably is, a study said on Monday.

Of 200 hospitals with pediatric residency programs surveyed, 59 had fast-food restaurants on site, said the report published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

More than half the patients or family members visiting hospitals with fast food outlets said they ate fast food the day they were surveyed, which was four times the rate among people at hospitals without outlets, the survey of 386 people found.

McDonald’s, which does provide financial support to some of the hospitals surveyed and operates several homes for ill children, was the prevalent restaurant in hospitals studied.

McDonald’s spokesman Bill Whitman said he had not yet seen the study.

Study author Hannah Sahud of Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago criticized the presence of fast food restaurants in children’s hospitals, given the epidemic of childhood obesity that many researchers blame at least in part on fast food.

She said “efforts are needed to balance the dietary choices and social messages” sent by locating them in children’s hospitals.”

Want to know why children are obese???
Momma is not breastfeeding, and the little colons are clogged with toxins from vaccines and modern living. The Ritalin shuts down the pancreas, and clogs the liver, and the anti-biotics kill off all the friendly bacteria needed to properly digest food.
Its a no brainer to me. I think it’s pathetic to blame it all on fast food, when the chemicals are the real culprit, but hey, I think the message of allopathic medicine being tied to junk food is a perfect marriage of causes. “Want some fries with your jello and chocolate pudding, after we have loaded you with chemo chemicals and radiated the heck out of your little bones and muscles???”

Instapundit and Rosett on Boltons departure from the UN

December 6, 2006Jenny Marie Hatch

Instapundit:

CLAUDIA ROSETT: “Cold comfort indeed, but the upside of John Bolton resigning as ambassador to the UN is that the UN does not deserve to be dignified by ambassadors of the stature of John Bolton. His presence there endowed the place with a seriousness it has not earned. Bolton has been valiant in his efforts to clean up UN corruption and malfeasance, and follow UN procedure in dealing with such threats as a nuclear North Korea, a Hezbollah bid to take over Lebanon, and the nuclearization of Hezbollah’s terror-masters in Iran. But it has been like watching one man trying to move a tsunami of mud.”

I could not agree more…they need someone completely corrupted as UN Ambassador…wonder what Bubba is up to these days. He would fit like a glove. Bill Clinton, UN Ambassador extraordinare’.

Blogger Hugh Hewitts analysis of Victor Davis Hansons recent overview of the War.
Go Here
I have a very positive worldview at this point. Freedom is on the march in our world, and while we may have setbacks and reversals that FEEL overwhelming and like we are losing. I KNOW that Isaiahs prophecies are true and real. We will get to a day when we will live in peace, and “will not learn war anymore”. We will get to a point where the truth will be poured out from heaven upon the nations, and we will live joyful happy lives as the lamb lies down with the lion….and Jesus Christ will have All of the governments upon his shoulders.
You can’t immerse yourself in the music of the Messiah and not be somewhat influenced by it.
Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, the Everlasting father…..PRINCE OF PEACE!!!
We’ll get there. It may take a few decades or even a few centuries, but we are headed in the right direction. And any way you look at it, George Bush will get the glory for holding the reigns at this turning point in the worlds march to freedom and democracy.
VDH is correct in his analysis of the two sides however.
