Junk Food Companies Manipulating Children with Shrek (2007) I just finished watching the documentary Killer At Large: Why Obesity is America’s Greatest Threat. Not a perfect film (I have a rule that docs shouldn’t be longer than an hour and a half) but very informative and full of clips I’ve never seen before. The above video definitely stood out.  In the late Bush years, the...

Are Frito sales so bad that we need to start hiding them in other foods?  Just what I wanted in my already greasy and mystery meat filled burrito.  Also, wouldn’t the Fritos get soggy? This sounds unpalatable.  For some reason this reminds me of that scene in The Breakfast Club where Ally Sheedy pours Pixie Stix in her sandwich.

Is Grass-Fed Beef Better For the Environment? →
May the Lantern make a humble suggestion? Stop eating so much beef. Whether grass- or corn-fed, it’s pretty bad for the environment, and it’s not that great for your body, either. If your palate simply can’t resist grassy notes, get them from a nice sauvignon blanc. Locally produced with a natural cork, of course.

Sometimes when I make coffee in the morning
I like to open the jar, put it to my nose, and inhale deeply before I start scooping it into the coffee maker.  The smell of ground coffee is euphoric.

It's week 3 of the 100 pushup challenge
And it seems to me that things are accelerating MUCH too quickly.  Week two was a serious struggle and now day one of week three is calling for the following sets: -12 pushups -17 pushups -13 pushups -13 pushups -max (at least 17 pushups) This may sound like nothing to many of you but before I started the challenge I could barely do FIVE pushups.  I hate them. I hate them so much.  But oh...

The Rav [The Food Monster]
This is the story of my life, except I call it the “food monster.”  I carry around an emergency banana in my purse for times like this.  I pack PBJ sandwiches on plane rides.  You never know when the monster might strike but the examples below are definitely repeat offenders.   Also, “hangry” is possibly the best word invention I’ve ever heard. 94monkeys: “The...

Things that are bad ideas:
Deciding to do the 100 Push Ups Challenge AND the 200 Squats Challenge at the same time. Maybe I should have accomplished one challenge before starting the next. Yeesh. Oof. Ouch.

“You would give yourself a few seconds to imagine tasting and chewing one...”
– - New York Times, Real Evidence for Diets That Are Just Imaginary  NYTimes, you crazy. How about I imagine eating an entire block of cheese and then ACTUALLY eat the block of cheese. That sounds more satisfying.
