Poor dear doggie, she knows that i just don't feel the same about her. It's like we are about to break up and another will take her place in my heart. She sits on the couch and tries to climb in my lap but I reject her. I must, because to me I think she stinks!
Ever since I have been growing a baby my dogs smell pretty rancid like. I can't put my finger on it yet but I get sick to my tummy when I am in close contact with them. Poor dears.
Dr. Oz (let's call him Docta Oz just for fun) was on Oprah today telling Americans once again that the reason we are fat is because we buy American food. Pretty much everything that we see in the middle of the grocery store is silently, ok, for some not so silently, killing us. What is a country to do? Stop grocery shopping? Go organic? Sure we could but we'd all need to get raises in our paychecks! How about putting a ban on American made foods and sell us only Non-American foods, you know the healthy French ones.
Now, I do feel it is important to watch what we eat. I try to but I absolutly refuse to give up somethings all together, like cookies. I don't feel that they will kill me if I have a few every now and then, then again I make my own from scratch. They are so much better that way. Plus i know what I am putting in them and I don't like store bought cookie dough. Yuck. ! Any way, what I am trying to say is that yes, we are getting fatter and yes we need to stop eating crap but we also just need to stop blaming the food industry for making us fat. We chose what we put in our mouths! DUH!
Here's a shout out to my Mom. She did a good job feeding us healthy food growing up. She always cooked a homemade dinner, we never got to drink soda except for birthdays and sometimes Friday movie night with pizza and the works! We always had fresh fruit and wheat bread. I have never been seriously ill and I am a pretty healthy lady. BUT even Docta Oz would probably find fault with her, she did after all feed us white rice. Man, the Docta's poor kids. I wonder if they even know what white rice tastes like. It is so delicious! Too bad the FDA is about to put a ban on the little ivory grains being that they must not eat white rice in France 'cause they are not fat there. But wait! The people in China eat white rice and they are not fat. Hummm, what a quandry. Hey I think we need to tell Docta OZ that yes, we are fat and yes, we frequently make bad food choices and yes, we need to change our nasty little queso dip habits, but hey, lay off the white rice!
May you grocery shop in peace and stop eating when you are full. Bon Appetit!

Dr. Oz can be a little extreme about some things. I think thats why Oprah likes him so much. Eat white rice. Enjoy! The Asian population eats a ton of it there aren't very many overweight! What we need to limit is the cheeseburgers, fries, and ice cream. Those are my downfall.
Everything in moderation.
I don't really care for French fries even though I eat them when they are around. I can't resisit cheese curls! Yum!
chalk it up to mom though for the ice cream!! we always had that growing up! but man, i miss those home cooked meals!
Actually, the ice cream came from Dad. He was the one that usually brought it home or had to have it!
