Olympic Athletes Will Still Get Free McDonald's Food

Despite McDonald's ending its partnership with the Olympics, McDonald's Korea will continue to indulge the appetites of PyeongChang's athletes.

ELISABETH SHERMAN February 09, 2018
There are many perks to being an Olympic athlete: The medals, the world travels, the adoring fans whom they inspire and encourage. Also, there’s the free fast food. For the past 41 years, McDonald’s has been an official sponsor of the Olympic games, but last year that partnership abruptly came to an end. Will that stop the South Korean arm of the chain from giving out free food to athletes? No, not at all.

Last summer, McDonald’s decided to end its three-year contract with the Olympics early—the company had originally intended to continue sponsoring the games up until the 2020 summer Olympics in Tokyo. In recent years the IOC has faced criticism that sponsors like McDonald’s and Coca-Cola conflict with the healthy lifestyle that most athletes promote and embody.

McDonald’s will still be allowed to have a presence in Pyeongchang this year, however, and it’s capitalizing on the opportunity by opening two locations in Gangneung—one of which is shaped like a burger and fries. Those locations will still offer free meals to the competing athletes. Demand for those Big Macs is so high, in fact, that during the 2016 Olympic Games, McDonald’s actually had to put a cap on the number of items an athlete is allowed to order at one time at 20.

For the average person, 20 McDonald’s menu items at once might seem like a lot of food, but remember that these athletes are training into the early hours of the morning, making demands of their bodies us non-Olympians probably can’t even imagine. As Michael Phelps recently told Food & Wine, at the height of his career he was eating as many as 10,000 calories per day—and a few cheeseburgers and boxes of chicken nuggets goes a long way in contributing to that lofty number.

While Phelps explains that he tried to be as healthy as possibly during the games, only indulging after he checked out of the Olympic village, his attitude at least seems as though it’s unique: McDonald’s is so popular among the athletes, the company literally had to tell them to stop ordering so much food. Maybe that will put things in perspective next time you’re feeling guilty about stopping by McDonald’s for a Big Mac (or two).

I read that Winter Olympics viewership this year is WAY down from the Sochi Olympics. I can see why. IMO, Olympics in general are boring, and the Winter Olympics even more so. Maybe the North/South Korea/political stuff also has something to do with it.

I did watch the opening ceremony and thought it was so-so. The Korean opera singer was amazing, but the Koreans' rendition of John Lennon's 'Imagine' was terrible. It sounded off-key and like someone was being tortured. Others seemed to like it. I know it's the popular trend nowadays to say that EVERYTHING from South Korea is great, but IMO just coming from there alone does not guarantee something is good.

Of course, as opening (and closing) ceremonies go, ANY country will have a tough time following the epic scale of those of the Beijing Summer Olympics.

The Song "Imagine" is a Communist anthem. It is hilarious that the South Koreans would sing it It is a good example of how politics permeates popular culture without the population even being aware of it, They can't see the forest for the trees.
If the world described in Imagine came true, life for everyone would be absolute H3ll, Imagine describes a Stalinist Ste on Steroids. It's a deceptive fantasy, a ravening totalitarian wolf in liberal sheep's clothing.
..
The mood is pleasant , soothing and loving, the lyrics describe world slavery. A world without religion, possessions and countries and where everyone is exactly the same (poor and enslaved) has already been achieved under Stalin and Mao. And shortly it may be achieved again in Europe, Canada and then America, The song closely follows the method of current MSN cultural propaganda - telling soothing pleasant lies to disguise a stealth war on human freedom.

South Korea is 99 percent Korean and will stay that way. In 12 years if America begins to collapse like Europe and Canada you may wish you lived there.





Imagine Communism

[wolfen]

Imagine is now more like the New World Order or Globalist Anthem. Before the election of DJT, The NWO was once an Alex Jones Conspiracy myth, now Open Borders and Globalism is openly advocated by the EU and the American Globalist Propaganda machine , the MSN. They have come out of the closet.

Imagine a world with no borders,
Imagine America as a h3ll hole,
Everyone all the same,
Nothing to live or die for,
It's easy if you try....

"Imagine" is the anthem of the New World Order (Global Communism!)

Imagine Communism

I always took John Lennon's Imagine to mean nothing left to fight and hate over; a naive, idealistic peace fantasy. As I recall, John Lennon did not think Mao was cool at all. From his song Revolution:

'But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.'

And as far as me wishing I lived in South Korea: I don't think so. I'm of Japanese descent, and Korea (North and South) is probably the most anti-Japanese country on the planet. Even though I did have a pleasant traveling experience in S. Korea 27 years ago. No, I'm quite happy where I am. Anywhere you run to to avoid the 'globalists' or the 'Marxists' or the 'Bilderbergers' or whoever the Bogeymen are will have its own issues and can 'collapse'. Some guy was advocating that all smart Americans pack up and move to the Brazilian jungle to start a large American community to avoid the collapse. Yeah, great idea.

[wolfen]

The politics that is heard from the MSN on the Olympics coverage is not merely North/South Politics. The MSN is using the event to wage Globalist Propaganda war on the American people.

If anyone listens to anything from the MSN , there is no escape from politics, The MSN pursues the Globalist agenda of eliminating all individual freedom and individual choice in America and installing a Globalist Totalitarian State. With the MSN every aspect of a person's life is politics. All of us must be "Reprogrammed". There is no escape from it.
Personally, I don't listen to the MSN, nothing , no Cable TV, no newspapers, no radio. I get my news from the internet, I only hear about what the MSN is saying from the internet or inadvertently. The alternative internet has everything that is important - most of the MSN "News" is just propaganda or irrelevant distraction. It takes a great deal of strength of mind to turn off the MSN and disconnect the cable, but once it's done it's just like kicking a bad food addiction or smoking which I did years ago) - you feel wonderful and you never want to go back.

If anyone listens to the MSN and thinks they are not involved in politics then they have been successfully manipulated and are unaware of how the strings are being pulled.
Take a litmus test. What did the MSN say about the War in Europe, the Slow Death of Europe.. Today? Yesterday? Last Week?
About Islamification? FGM? Honor Killings? Islamic Terrorism? Islamic Jihad?
About illegal immigrant crime in California?
... <crickets>....
Their main method of deceit is lying by omission. That is what being re-pilled means - not to learn to "truth", but to learn the full information what the MSN has hidden. Once you see behind the curtain, you'll never go back to the matrix. That is why they are now so desperate to censor the internet, ..google, youtube, facebook etc.




Media Hearts North Korea | The Andrew Klavan Show Ep. 460


Amoung other things Andrew Klavan goes over the history of the Olympics - how the MSN has praised tyranny - even listen to how they gushed over Adolph Hitler.

[wolfen]

I always took John Lennon's Imagine to mean nothing left to fight and hate over; a naive, idealistic peace fantasy. As I recall, John Lennon did not think Mao was cool at all. From his song Revolution:

'But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.'

Even though I did have a pleasant traveling experience in S. Korea 27 years ago. No, I'm quite happy where I am.

Some guy was advocating that all smart Americans pack up and move to the Brazilian jungle to start a large American community to avoid the collapse. Yeah, great idea.

Yes the lie in the imagine song is that nothing to hate and fight over means peace and happiness. If you don't hate tyranny and fight for freedom, you don't have it. Just because Lennon said something negative about Mao doesn't mean he wasn't a liberal socialist and that his "naive peace fantasy" wasn't in fact a prescription for totalitarianism. Lennon was rich and privileged, he got rich telling people fantasies and illusions, he would never have to suffer he consequences of open borders and his liberal fantasies.

Well, if you are Japanese, you can escape to Japan. If you are privileged in America you may last longer than most common folk but your descendants if you have way will not. You just look at Europe, not the MSN's Europe, the real Europe - that is your future.
Japan is remaining nationalistic and they don't allow any immigrant invaders to destroy their country nor do they have a Globalist propaganda machine attacking their national identity. . Donald Trump did not stop the destruction of America, he merely slowed it down a little. If you knew something other than what the MSN is telling you you would know this.
I don't recommend Brazil, I recommend Asia. Europe is Dead, Canada is Swedenstan 2.0 and becoming a Stalinist Sate, When Europe goes, America will be alone and most probable descend into Chaos.
Forewarned is Forearmed. You will not be blithely practicing individual Martial Arts in a One Party Globalist State in 2030. Maybe you will be practicing Government-Fu like the Chinese.


You think Globalism is some kind of boogeyman? Everything that is happening in America is a war between Globalism and Nationalism, between totalitarianism and individual freedom.
Trudeau declared he would make Canada into a Post-Nationalist country. He is succeeding. THIS IS GLOBALISM.

How many families do you think own the MSN in America? Five? Seven? Do you think that could possibly mean anything, seven people maybe less, deciding what all the American MSN will say and what people will think? I know that the lie is so well done, the illusion created seems so nice and pleasant, so "reasonable" and groovy that it doesn't seem to matter that all the information is coming from a small group of people that own 95 percent of the wealth and have an agenda. .
The American people are under assault 24/7 from Globalist Propaganda. How is it you can "mistrust" DJT and those "people in Washington" and yet totally trust everything the MSN is telling you? Almost everything important that is told the people about politics and is a lie.They are truly the enemy of the people The MSN is the bogeyman's mouthpiece. Do you not see the attacks made on every single individual and every single group by the MSN?What would it take to redpill you I wonder?
How can the Bogeyman not exist, when the Bogeyman is whispering in your ear every minute of every day?
..
Do you think the Cultural Marxist assault on human beings is some kind of fantasy? Do you understand what "Cultural Marxism means? u Do you not see SJW's at work every day trying to destroy the lives and freedom of people and the MSN telling you how "good" if it is to be re-programmed?
...
If America goes like Europe you may wish you were in the Brazilian Jungle. Europe no longer exists a s "Europe" anymore or didn't you know? Of course you don't know, the MSN doesn't want you to know. The people of Europe certainly do know. They know everything is wrong but even as they are being led to their deaths they don't know why.

The thing about totalitarian control of the media is that nothing is real. the reality of the lives of people will never match the propaganda image of what their lives are supposed to be.

For instance the IMAGE of feminism is more important than women. In order to promote the image of feminism, millions of women can be killed or raped just to maintain the image. In the propaganda world only the image is real, people are not real.
From the way you phrased things, it doesn't seem you understand your society, you don't seem to understated the words like "Marxism" you are using. Actually the people engaging in the processes of civilizational suicide and self-destruction don't think about themselves much or understand what they are doing. They are only reacting emotionally without using their intellectual rational function. To the SJW's , even though they are practicing Cultural Marxism they have no understanding of what it is.

The manipulative propaganda job is done so well on people that even at the point of death, even as the bomb drops on them , even as they are sent to the gulag they have no understanding of what is happening to them.
Take for instance in one of the London Islamic Jihadist knife attacks (that of course had nothing to do with Islam ) .. as the Muslim was coming to kill them, one guy said "Damm Muslims!" and the guy next to him said "Don't be racist".
..
If you practice Martial arts I would suggest try to use some strength of mind from the practice to resist the manipulative control of the MSN Globalist Propaganda machine. I guess the first thing to accomplish is to become aware that you are in a propaganda bubble.



The Mass Brainwashing of Germany

[Jimbo]

I said I'm of Japanese descent. That is not the same as being native Japanese. Look at Japan's treatment of Brazilian-born Japanese who were living in Japan doing the dirty work most native Japanese won't. Japan wanted them out. Japanese descent does NOT equal being accepted or treated as Japanese in Japan. Move there? Not for me. From the outside, any place can seem perfect until you realize it isn't. Japan and South Korea also have among the world's highest suicide rates. I wonder why. And wish I were in the Brazilian jungle? How much do you know about living and surviving in the jungle? I'll bet you dollars to donuts most Brazilians wouldn't know how.

I'm aware of quite a bit more than you think. I just don't like constantly worrying or proselytizing about it. I can choose to live my entire life in fear and anxiety, or choose to make my bit of the world a better place for myself and those in my life. I choose the latter. If that makes me ignorant or a lesser human, so be it. Constant fear, worry and self-righteousness is not good for quality of life, and can kill as well as any terminal disease.

Besides, anything can happen anywhere.

I'm well aware of Asian and Japanese Racism. But it has some good effects in protecting those countries form the ongoing Globalist War from the West.
So no Korea, no Japan, well then, there is always HK, China the Philippines and the rest of SE Asia. Andy one of those places will be a safe haven when the bubble pops. A perfect place is not needs, just a safe place.

Well you know, the solution to the threat of to high suicide rates is simply not to commit suicide.

The thing about the Brazilian jungle is that a form of it is coming to you. Being prepared for it, doesn't mean you have to be afraid and anxious. You can use your Martial Arts to conquer your fear and remain calm in a world of threat, oppression and violence.

So my take is that you said you are making the world a better place for yourself but you don't want to worry about it or "proselytize" (?) about making it a better place. That does not compute. It sounds like words used to make a emotional protective bubble. I suppose that works,
..
Anything can happen anywhere, but knowing what is happening here and now is what is important.

In the following video, the German MSN are completely exposed as liars and propagandists in the face of social collapse brought about by the European Globalists. The same thing is happening in America, the consequences are so far hidden and disguised by the MSN.

I think you're twisting my meaning. I'm not afraid or anxious. I said I choose not to live in fear, not that I do. That isn't creating an "emotional protective bubble", as you say. Constantly obsessing over a thing IS anxiety. I could say something like you're fleeing the West in fear; or that you'd LIKE the collapse to happen so you could say, "I told you so." But I won't, because I don't know you, and what you do with your life is none of my business, anyway. I would expect that same courtesy from you. If you're in a place where you're happy and feel secure in, why do you care so much about everybody else that you feel aren't? By 'proselytizing' I mean the constant preaching and fear-mongering that makes no one's life better, and in fact turns many (most?) people off from caring to learn about the truth.

And regarding Japan and S. Korea's extremely high suicide rates: Have you ever wondered WHY they are so high? The solution would be in revealing what about life there has driven so many to it. Like the opioid epidemic in the States. 'Just don't use opioids'. Well, what is the root cause or reason for it? Otherwise, 'just say no' isn't going to do squat. Personally, I'm not the suicide type. But there is no solution to the problem by only addressing the outer symptoms without examining and treating the root cause(s). Suggesting 'just don't commit suicide' does nothing to address the societal issues that drive so many to do it in the first place. That would require a monumental cultural self-examination and overhaul that will likely never happen.

Oh, yes, and I am aware of the 'liberal media' and politicians, global elites, and what has been planned. I started becoming aware of these things more than 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the 'right' isn't much better. They're two arms attached to the same body to give the illusion of 'sides'. Anybody who believes THE ANSWER is in the next politician (experienced or not) is sadly mistaken. It hasn't worked out for the past few centuries.

That's as far as I'm going on this subject here. Anyway, we'll have to agree to disagree on certain things.

Greg Gutfeld's review of the Winter Olympics

[Jimbo]

Wolfen, I'm aware of far more than you think I am. The difference between us is that I don't choose to write about these things in every single post. That's not 'feels', that's fact. Perhaps there's some level of delusion on your part to think that anyone who has a different opinion from you is therefore ignorant. Or perhaps you're still in 'the matrix' and believe the old 'liberal' vs 'conservative' argument that only serves to create division while the real ones in power sit back and laugh.

And your suggestion that Westerners abandon the US, Canada and Europe to resettle in Asia is ironic, considering that's exactly what you've been complaining about with the waves of migrants from North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia flooding into Europe.

No, you're no more right on this than I am. But it's obvious you're going to continue believing only you know what's really going on and everybody else is ignorant. Up to now I've chosen to be respectful on the matter. The fact is, nobody convinces anybody to their side by getting in their face and shrilly screaming that they're ignorant, wrong, stupid, etc., etc. It doesn't work for the 'anti-fascists', the 'white nationalists', the BLM movement; and certainly not for the #metoo militants.

All of which has nothing at all to do with the Olympics, which is what this thread is/was about.

[Jimbo]

Great postings on this and the BP thread Wolfen. Jimbo treated me this way in a thread several years ago. It is what he does. It is what they all do. They do one of two response: 1) ignore you 2) ridicule you. You are dealing with a belief system here. Belief= religion. As you point out, full of emotion, run by emotion, ruled by emotion. You will not change these beliefs but that does not mean you should not make the authors of them uncomfortable.

SKM, I have no idea what you're talking about. Treated you 'this way' regarding what? If you can't answer that, you have no point to make.

[Jimbo]

So you don't have an answer. OK, fine. If you'd been able to give a clear example and prove I was clearly wrong about something, or being impolite to you personally, I would have manned up and apologized if I was wrong. I never said I was perfect.

Now who's the one ruled by emotion?

Delaware grad and tai chi master training Olympic athletes in Pyeongchang

A St. Andrew's School graduate and tai chi instructor is in Pyeongchang, South Korea, this month working with the U.S. Olympic speedskating team.

Tai chi is just one of several out-of-the-box training ideas U.S. Speedskating has embraced since a disastrous showing at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, The New York Times reported. The team won one silver medal.

Though athletes originally blamed their poor performance on speedskating suits made by Under Armour, experts have since determined the racers just weren't as good as they thought they were. They were underprepared and overhyped for the games.

St. Andrew’s goes to South Korea!
We are so excited to follow the U.S. Olympic Speedskaters as Mark Cheng ’90 is an essential member of their training team. His successful work with the athletes as a tai chi instructor last spring at their annual strength and conditioning camp led him to continue on as “Mindfulness and Recovery Specialist” for the team.

Here he is on Friday in a photo sent to Al Wood, our St. Andrew’s Director of Athletics. Cheng wrote, “Ready to jump into a long day of work here with US Speedskating on the Gangneung coast for the Pyeongchang Olympics. Repping SAS all the way!”

Good luck, Team USA… The Saints are on your side!

For more of his story, read this article in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/…/speedskati...hang-games.ht…

Since then, both U.S. Speedskating and Under Armour have been working together to turn things around. In addition to spending $240,000 a year in gear and cash, the clothing company has brought on an eclectic group of advisers, including a fitness guru, a Tour de France cycling veteran, a Navy Seal, a sleep expert and Delaware-native tai chi master, Mark Cheng.

Cheng's successful work with the athletes as a tai chi instructor last spring at their annual strength and conditioning camp led him to continue on as “Mindfulness and Recovery Specialist” for the team. Tai chi helps reduce stress and relax athletes, as well as helping with breathing. Cheng has also been teaching the athletes to meditate.

One speedskater, Aaron Tran, even gave Cheng a shoutout on Twitter this week. Tran did not make it past the qualifications of the 500 meters Tuesday and will leave South Korea without an individual medal.

Cheng has been tweeting at him and other Olympic athletes and praising for them for their work ethic and resilience, even in the face of huge disappointment.

Cheng said he is representing St. Andrew's School in Middletown at the games in South Korea. He graduated from the Episcopal, co-educational boarding school in 1990.

“Ready to jump into a long day of work here with U.S. Speedskating on the Gangneung coast for the Pyeongchang Olympics," he told the school's athletic director Al Wood in an email last week. "Repping SAS all the way!”

Cheng, who has a private practice in Santa Monica, California, and works with patients recovering from surgery or in rehabilitation, grew up and went to school in Delaware. His parents are immigrants who still live in Delaware, and his father, Cheng Yu-Nien, started teaching him Chinese martial arts when he was 4 years old.

I'm going to copy this Winter Olympics post to the Olympic T'ai ji quan form, which I'm hijacking for this particular topic (that decade & a half old thread is way off base anyway ).
