At least once a day I say loudly, “people are so fucking stupid.” This is one of those times!  

Confession: I love MMA :)

By education I meant sound nutritional education, not necessarily the degrees you have. Though I guess I did come off as being a bit elitist, which I’m sorry about. And I agree, the need to feel control in this world is so strong, which is also fed by our lack of healthcare and the constant messaging by ads and the…

In an isolation tank! 

Is that even a thing?? Is it just like a big dry rice cracker? 

Which probably just makes the problem worse... 

I was the same! If I found a tube in a piece of meat (vein) then I cut a huge barrier around it and gave that piece to my mom. But then I would eat any kind of sausage or processed meats, because none of the tubes or obviously animal bits were recognizable. Sausage is like 50% tubes lol. 

Woods has always had weird self-sabotaging tendencies, which is what I think this was. 

Or maybe the vegan bores the other two to death? 

It’s at least the setup for cannibalism. 

The best doc I ever had was an Irish guy that didn’t even have a secretary. It was just him in an office. He’d tell me things like, “you could take meds, but it’s not worth it, it’ll go away on its own.” Or take an advil. He always talked to me at length and gave me real and reasoned explanations. I miss him.

Colon cancer runs in my family, but all those people lived on red meat and used butter as a universal seasoning. I am stuffing myself with veggies these days to avoid the same fate. I also have a bunch of food intolerances, so I get it about the meat. It’s delicious, doesn’t upset my stomach, and gives the veg a lot…

I feel like critical thinking went out years ago when school became all about fulfilling testing requirements. And we don’t have to think about anything critically anymore; we can just tune in to the news of our choice and have them spell out our opinions for us.

Yeesh. That reminds me of going to the Baptist church as a kid and being told about the rapture. Which is just another fantasy about getting rid of all non-Christians and whites and Others. 

I feel like these kinds of diet fads are driven by 2 things in this country: 1) the obesity epidemic and 2) people trying to get in charge of their health despite not having a safety net of affordable healthcare. And maybe 3) lack of education.

I guessing only once a week and it’s a solid brick. 

Yes! Team unsweetened plain organic soymilk made with only soybeans and water. Reading labels is not hard. Plus the soy is really good for you if you’re in your late 40s like I am. 

I vote for scars on my arm like the ones my mom has from the smallpox and TB vaccines. Something you can’t forge. We can all be branded with a little C. 

For that matter, most women have been sexually harassed or assaulted in some manner, so shouldn’t you just exclude all women from the jury? I’m sure an all male jury would be totally fair.

That’s what I figured. I want to watch though. Cults are just too fascinating. I don’t have the stomach to check out their message boards!
