I just finished watching Food, Inc.
I’m not very surprised by anything new, that I’ve learned. Maybe I didn’t learn anything new.
I, already, consider Fast Food FAKE FOOD. Its easy to drive right by, when, in my mind, its not food. Its “not real” has been engraved on my soul, by Marianne Williams, even if unrelated to food.
I’m more disgusted with the legal issues and the red tape.. and hidden food labels..
Its all pretty simple, to me. I can’t grow it all.. I can’t eat it all. I make exceptions.
I like the idea of thinking that dry pasta, in a box, is convenience food.
I’m so pleased that this movie was made and watched by so many.. I want the awareness to make Organic Foods less “weird” and more plentiful.
If more of us felt food was fake.. we’d have better food choices, so we could eat better.
This movie isn’t about not eating fast food.. its about all of our food. It won’t make you stop eating meat. It won’t make you stop eating dairy. It will teach you that all of our food is a dollar in some companies hand.
Conspiring men in the last days.. will feed us to death!

One of the hardest things, I do, as a mother, is teach my child(ren) the things I don’t want them to know..
I taught them bad words, so they knew not to speak them. I taught them porn terms so they knew what to avoid, online. I taught them to be a Scrooge, at Christmas.
Now I need to teach one how to not be “cliquish.”
I just can’t stand the “big bully on the playground!” and “cliques” are not just about being shy.. they can be blatantly just selfish and rude.
I’m not sure where to start.. I just got mad and said “you don’t know how to be on the other end.. but I find it wrong to be in a church youth group and flat out be rude to any other youth.”
It was my bad way of trying to get the point across..
I also told said child that if one of her “friends” doesn’t shape up.. she won’t be doing anything, in the future, with her.
We’ll see where this goes..
I’m such a mean mom!

My house over-haul (or the “terrorizing of the house,” as TheBoy calls it) has had me flipping through magazines, during little breaks.. so I can sort out and throw out, those, too..
The problem is that most of these magazines were saved for a particular reason.. and I don’t find myself throwing out too many..
Like.. the January 2006 Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients.
Interviewing Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of “101 Exercises for the Soul” and “365 Prescriptions for the Soul,” (in ref to 101 Exercises) they ask, “If I were limited to practicing just one “exercise” in your book, which one should it be?”
He replied, “Find a role model and live and act as if you were the person you want to be and treat yourself as well as you do your beloved pet. By rehearsing and practicing and having coaches to criticize and provide feedback, you can become a more loving human being and be happier too. you are a work in progress so don’t be critical of your mistakes and give up, but instead, forgive yourself, apologize, and move on. My role model is WWLD. Whenever I have a problem I ask myself, What Would Lassie Do?”
Both books have been added to my Amazon Wish List:
