(NaturalNews) Weight Watchers has now officially endorsed Chicken McNuggets as a "healthy meal" in New Zealand, where McDonald's restaurants will begin carrying the Weight Watchers logo on several menu items. This bizarre and inexplicable decision has now made Weight Watchers the laughing stock of the health world where nutrition and weight loss experts normally don't use "McDonald's fast food" and "weight loss" in the same sentence.As The Guardian reports, "As part of the deal, which the company says is the first of its kind in the world, McDonald's will use the Weight Watchers logo on its menu boards and Weight Watchers will promote McDonald's to dieters."Nutritionists, not surprisingly, were shocked at the announcement. The idea of eating at McDonald's to lose weight seems a bit ridiculous, and anyone who believes that eating Chicken McNuggets will cause you to lose weight is arguably one nugget short of a Happy Meal. Sometimes you just have to point out the stupidity of these things, even at the risk of offending someone who has convinced themselves that eating more Chicken McNuggets is their ticket to a slim, fit and sexy body.Watch your weight balloon!Weight Watchers, by the way, never actually claims that eating the foods they endorse will cause you to lose weight. If you examine it carefully, even their name isn't really about weight loss. It's about weight watching... as in, watch your weight grow larger by the day...A "weight watch" is sort of like a "tornado watch" or a "tsunami watch." You keep your eyes peeled and wait for something disastrous to happen -- such as ballooning to 300 pounds while engaging in unhealthy eating McHabits based on snarfing down meat parts from factory-farmed cows raised in bovine concentration camps that might more accurately be called "Cowschwitz."If Weight Watchers is going to endorse McNuggets, then why not just endorse the entire McDonald's menu and throw the logo behind Big Macs and ice cream shakes, too? It's not like Weight Watchers is trying to "protect its reputation" by not crossing a line, you know. Once you've endorsed McDonald's as "healthy" food, that line is no longer anywhere in sight.Of course, McDonald's products merely join a long list of questionable foods marketed under the "Weight Watchers" brand name -- a brand that in my opinion has discovered great commercial success in selling the false hope of weight loss to clueless consumers who are unwilling to read ingredients lists on food labels.Not coincidentally, Weight Watchers has now become the "McDonald's" of the weight loss industry -- and industry filled with so many scams and shams that the idea of eating Chicken McNuggets to lose weight doesn't even seem that strange to many people.We live in a world where corporate promotional lies are disgusting at best, and criminal at worst. We're told that psychiatric drugs will make you happy, that chemotherapy will make you healthy and that eating at McDonald's will make you lose weight. We're told that sugary junk drinks will give you "energy", that toxic vaccines are necessary for your immune system to work correctly and that buying silly pink-ribbon products will somehow cure cancer.At the same time, we're told that vitamins are dangerous, that sunlight causes cancer and that there's no such thing as a cure for type-2 diabetes. Everything that's good for you is discredited as bad while everything that's toxic is hyped up as "healthy."I suppose in light of the corporate-sponsored sick-care insanity that passes for medical advice these days, the idea that eating at McDonald's will make you lose weight doesn't seem as insane as it really should.But that doesn't make it any more true.In a world gone mad with dietary misinformation touting fictional foods, insanity can now be marketed to the intoxicated mainstream as if it somehow made sense.... and people swallow it.Sources for this story include:http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/...

    • Cute, kahlila. lol
      • LOL - I love how the humor lightened the mood of the discussion! Laughter is the best medicine!
  • Yes, insanity. Let's call a spade a spade. I have to go with what Sananda says: "I'm more concerned with what comes out of your mouth than what goes into it."
    • Hehehe, true
    • Yep, Ann. Common sense isn't very common, is it? ;o) And, bravo to you, Danica. So True, so True about Loving one's enemy, for anytime we have hatred toward anyone, it hardens our own hearts just a little bit.....so it's for our own welfare to keep our own Hearts soft and pliable, huh?
      • lol XD Common sense isn't common hahaa so true
        • It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad (how many mads are there?) world.
  • I have to agree that it is insane, but I've come to expect this sort of thing from corporate, and with the backing of the government. I feel sad for those that believe the nonsense fed to them because they trust the information coming from institutions more concerned with money (and driven by forces they can't comprehend) than with true health of the body and the spirit. I can only, at this point, hold love for all that are involved, even the corporations. I hope this love will bring truth to the forefront of mainstream society. It is easy to love your brother, but more needed is to love your enemy, for this is where transormation begins. And I will continue to educate my children on what is healthy and what is right. Change happens one child at a time.
