I would put as number one ... not being able to accomplish or do things you plan on doing ... not that I have some outrageous aspirations
 
In modern society, everyone who blindly keeps shoveling in all this neatly packaged, highly processed, nutritionally void, convenience "foods" should absolutely be worried about physical degeneration and a whole host of chronic illnesses. It's happening to people younger and younger in each generation. Going down this route, in a few generations from now, it won;t be uncommon to be in your 20's and on some sort of pharmaceutical cocktail. But the money is in the sickness, not the cure....so there ya go.

Bint eats nothing but chicken nuggets/fries for 15 years, collapses due to malnourishment

Doctors found that her 15-year ‘chronic chicken nugget addiction’ has left her with anaemia and inflamed veins on her tongue.

So deficient was her body in vitamins and nutrients that she had to be injected with them.


Although she has been urged to drastically change her diet, she says she cannot give up the fast food.

Stacey, who is recovering at home on a high-dose course of vitamins, has been hooked on chicken nuggets since her mother let her try them in a McDonald’s restaurant at the age of two.

‘I loved them so much they were all I would eat,’ she said. ‘I just couldn’t face even trying other foods. Mum gave up giving me anything else years ago.’

The teenager, of Castle Vale, Birmingham, admits she will occasionally vary her food intake – by eating a slice of toast for breakfast or a packet of crisps.

Yet following her admission to hospital, she has conceded that the diet is having a negative impact on her health.

‘I am starting to realise this is really bad for me,’ she said. ‘My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day.

‘McDonald’s chicken nuggets are my favourite. I share 20 with my boyfriend with chips.

‘But I also like KFC and supermarket brands.’

A less serious consequence of her craving is that she is struggling to store all the free toys that come with the fast food meals, she added – they fill four bin bags.

Stacey’s mother, Evonne, is exasperated by her daughter’s refusal to eat a healthy and varied diet and wants her to see a specialist.

‘She’s been told in no uncertain terms that she will die if she carries on like this,’ the 39-year-old explained.

‘But Stacey says she can’t eat anything else. It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets.

‘I am at my wit’s end. I’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late.’

The beauty therapist – who says her two other children Leo, five, and Ava, three, both eat healthily – has even tried depriving Stacey of food in a bid to get her to eat something other than nuggets.
A monotonous diet can increase the risk of future diseases

Nutritionist Dr Carina Norris said that, during her ten years of experience, she has not come across such an extreme case of food addiction.

She believes Stacey’s diet will have serious long-term health implications, as her body will be lacking iron, calcium, antioxidants, vitamins and good fats.

‘She should view her health scare as a warning – a wake-up call that she needs to drastically change her diet.

‘Fruit and vegetables are integral to long-term health. Without them, you greatly increase the chances of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer.

My biggest fear is that Armageddon will take so fucking long to finally get here, I won't be able to be a Mad Max road warrior proper. I figure with the shape I'm in, I'm safe at least until 45, so it's got ten years to start.
 
That I will not be able to fight in WWIII/Iran War/Whatever upcoming big'un we got in store and will feel ashamed as other men go and fight and die and I sit around in America saying 'what if?'. And no it's not to soon to worry about this seeing how hard it is to get into the military at the moment and that's not going to change, especially for prior-service.
