DOCUMENTARY FIND: FORKS OVER KNIVES

Official Website: http://www.forksoverknives.com

FORKS OVER KNIVES is a documentary I recently came across, while trying to find better ways of getting protein, because I do eat meat, but not enough to be considered “enough protein” … or so I THOUGHT until I watched this documentary. Growing up in America as apart of a generation who didn’t know any better, I never even considered that at one point live stock used to be scarce and only what rich people ate; which left the poor and middle classes to be on a diet of mostly nuts, fruit and vegetables and NOT the newly ordained”congress” vegetable known as Pizza; but you get my point.

DOCUMENTARY FIND: KING CORN starring Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis

King Corn starring Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis is a real eye opener as to why we as a nation seem to be getting bigger and sicker… where and what Corn Syrup is and how processed corn is everywhere!:

“King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized cr…op that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm ~ Written by King Corn”

FYI! Low Carbs = Weightloss?

Golden Fries... a Deadly Sin.

A lot of us struggle with our weight and body fat, but the biggest culprit of them all are Carbohydrates. Some of my favorite foods contain an extremely high amount and the portion or… “recommended serving” is 1/4 cups or 1/2 a cup” which when you put on a plate is either not enough (for me) or you don’t even notice if you have gone overboard; until you are bloated and cursing life for making you eat so much. So my friend I ask you, for those of us looking for ‘lighter’ alternatives – what would you do?

During my research for low carb idea’s I came across

Travel! Best Family Vacation Choice!

A few years ago, I would go and plan my vacation without a hitch, I didn’t care about anything other then “don’t forget the suntan lotion!” ah the good ol’ days! OK I AM DONE DREAMING >>Fast forward to now… “Okay we have the diapers, baby cream, toys, snacks, oh yea the baby!” – a lot has changed. So now when I plan a vacation I tend to take a lot more into consideration; like, is this spot kid friendly? do they have supplies for kids in cause my wipes run out, do they have activities for kids? much more complicated then just worrying about suntan lotion. I guess every parent goes thru the pain and suffering of having to cross of their favorite vacation spot because now… that place – doesn’t have anything for a child to do.

I’m come to the conclusion that by far a
