Fat Head

There is a movie that I watched when I was in Biology 151 called Fat Head, and it goes along with the book we read in class, In Defense of Food. The director of the movie makes nearly the exact same point as Pollan does in his book. If anybody was interested in what the book has to say then you will probably enjoy watching the movie Fat Head. Also, with the research paper we are writing in class, this movie might be a good resource for somebody who is writing their paper on nutrition and exercise.

Supercross

This weekend I am going to supercross! Supercross is kind of a big deal where I come from; there are about 30 of us all going just in my group, not including a bunch of other groups of people that we know that are also going. Every year it is a tradition for all of us to make a whole day out of supercross. The day starts off by everybody coming over to my house at around noon and we all BBQ. The event starts at 7:00 at the Edward Jones Dome so we leave at about 5:00 to go to the metro. We always get tickets way at the top so we can do what we want and we have the whole section to ourselves. We usually get back pretty late and once we arrive back at the metro we all head back to my house and have a bonfire. I'm really excited for Saturday!

My blogger got hacked..

Well I just got on here to check some stuff and post a new blog and I found that I must of not closed out of my Google account properly. I am not extremely good with computers and didn't realize that I left my account up. Somebody in the next English class got on here after I left and posted that last blog. I would of never said those things on my blog but now I know to double check that I am signed out before I leave the class room.

How are gas or food prices affecting you and your family?

Well first off, the gas situation is killing me personally. I drive a lifted Jeep Wrangler that gets a whole 11 miles to the gallon so at almost 4 bucks a gallon its pretty ridiculous. Because I love my Jeep so much and would never sell it, I pretty much have no other choice other than to buy a gas getter. I considered just getting a scooter type thing but that didn't seem very realistic for year around. About two months ago I got really lucky and bought a 1998 Chevy Malibu for $2,000 that only has 20,000 miles on it. That was a pretty big deal because I have now more than doubled my gas mileage. As far as good prices go, I eat a lot so regardless, I always spend a lot of money on food.

My Top 5 Foods

My Top 5 Foods!

(These are not in any particular order)

1.      Filets are definitely one of my favorite foods because I worked at Outback Steakhouse for a while and I ate a lot of them!

2.      Another food that I absolutely love is Creamy Onion Soup, which is also from Outback. It is probably the best soup that I have ever eaten.

3.      Cheese is up in my top five for sure because you can put cheese on almost anything! My favorite type is Colby Jack, Feta, and Cheddar.

4.      Chicken is my second favorite type of meat aside from Steak because there are so many different dishes that involve chicken.

5.      A good home cooked meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans is the perfect meal! My dad makes meatloaf all the time so it is one of my favorites!
