Go Zero! -Fast Food
Hey guys,
I have decided to start a fundraiser for Breast Cancer research. Each year way too many individuals die from Breast Cancer and other cancers alike.
Did you know that the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body for the funding of game-changing breast cancer research? Money is raised entirely by the Australian public. That means that each donation no matter what size, contributes to making a better future for cancer affected individuals and families due to these researching resources being available.
Research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. NBCF is working towards one goal: zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. You will have noticed the hashtag #Zeroby2030.We can all make a difference here.
Through doing some research I have discovered that there is a massive link between fast food and cancer diagnosis. Do you know what you're actually eating when you go to McDonalds? I'm not going to provide a whole science lesson, but here's a fact. When foods are highly processed, chemical reactions occur, and in particular when fries are cooked, this thing called 'acrylamide' is formed. This chemical is the stuff used in the industrial production of dyes, paper and plastics, as well has being utilised in the treatment of sewage..
For 2 months I will be having zero fast food. This includes KFC, McDonalds and Hungry Jacks. In this day and age it is so convenient to rock up to a fast food chain and purchase something quickly.
Although there are many things we could give up drinking, eating or doing, it is not realistic to give up everything. We are human. One small thing can make a big impact.
I am not here to preach or tell you I'm a saint, I am just here trying to do my bit for breast cancer research, and spread awareness.
Here's to having Zero fast food for 2 months!
Thanks for reading,
Nat xx
