and another thing...

This is scary. I either need to become a vegetarian or find a way to eat healthily raised meat. I'm glad I don't have to worry about feeding kids. Its hard enough for me!

This is a good idea. And maybe a way to improve the problem in the first article...

I saw the movie that article refers to and it was disturbingly gluttonous. A not so subtle nod in our direction.

My new favorite show:

Makes me feel motivated. But the irony of watching people work out INSTEAD of working out is not lost on me.

And finally, some energy (read: money) saving tips:

Just some stuff I've been reading/thinking about.

Happy Fall

heath, I have been having the same thoughts about meat after reading this article. (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html) Creepy!
I have been trying to cook vegetarian meals, but it has been hard. Nothing tastes as good or fills us up. But I must admit that it feels good to put more thought into what I'm putting in my body.

And I have never watched Biggest Loser before this season and I am loving it!

hmmmm.. just read the CNN article. I don't know if I agree with a fat tax, but it's an interesting thought.
