I wanted to share that I watched a newly released documentary last night called "Fed Up" with Katie Couric. Couric covers the ridiculous amounts of sugar that is added to processed foods and goes over some alarming statistics. I already knew processed foods aren't healthy, but this documentary was very interesting and extremely motivational. If anyone is interested, I watched it on Amazon, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. For me, education is motivation. The thought of eating processed foods this morning after watching this makes me cringe! I hope it sticks!!!

    Fear Mongering.

    Maybe fear mongering for those who aren't capable of watching something and determining what is the important take away from the the information given. If you are a logical person and can riffle through facts and emotional lead ons, then you will be fine and not fall prey to "fear mongering".

    You're new here. It's cute.

    You'll learn in time. Hopefully.

    No need to be condescending. What will I learn? That every one here thinks exactly alike? I truly hope not. I was simply trying to share something that has motivated me this morning.

    I wouldn't call it fear mongering. More propaganda. It's obviously agenda driven (they call on only people who support their agenda, and completely leave out all experts and evidence that disprove their theories.)

    Then of course there's the small issue of none of the facts or statistics they present are actually true... But, facts are a minor detail in propaganda pieces.

    Why am I surprised by the lack of social decency in comments found on the internet? You wouldn't speak to someone the way you have me in person...but yet here you are online.
