• Okay, I should be back now. I had lots of stuff to get adjusted to, with a large slab of down internet to top it off. So I'm back now, and today's topic is going to be about Morgan Spurlock. You know, he's the guy who did the movie-documentary Supersize Me. Yeah, that guy. Woah, wait, don't go away. I'm not going to get all in your face about eating right and stuff. Good heavens, no! I'm just saying I read his book and wanted to make some comments about it. Anyway, I was at work, eating a Big Mac, reading Spurlock's book, and thinking, "wow, this burger is mighty tasty." That is beside the point, however. My point is that Spurlock makes some good points. Fast food is bad for you. Sure. We, as humans, should exercise more. Okay. The government should be more active. Yup. These are all great, but I still don't feel like changing. I finished his book and said, "I feel like getting a pecan roll." After eating one, I thought, "nope, I don't think anything about me is going to change." I'm sure that's how a lot of people are. They know everything is bad for you (except for people who like to sue anything that doesn't have a warning label), but they're not going to change. On another note, I wonder where one can get little packets of high fructose corn syrup. This book makes it sound like the best stuff on the planet. If (almost) everyone uses it as a sweetener, it has to taste great. Well, that's all I have to say about that. I'm going to order me a pizza. Peace.
