I just sat and watched tv for the past 32 minutes - during the past 32 minutes the show that I was watching was on for 21 minutes what did I see the other 11 minutes? FOOD! Seriously FOOD. Pepsi, Red Lobster (seafood dipped in butter and a fried food of some sort), Doritos, Chilis (featured a huge burger), Gogurt, Trix cereal, Outback Steakhouse(that bloomin onion was shown in between the steaks and laoded potatos), McDonalds, DAnimals yogurt, Duncan /himes brownies and Lays potato chips. The only other two commercials in between all of these were - have you gueesed it yet - one for Nutrisystem and one for Jenny Craig.......hello? Serioulsy?

    I know!! It's nuts! Everyone is responsible for themselves and their choices, but that being said, America's Big Food industry is really working hard out there!

    Maybe that is what is helping me... ??... Television hasn't been on hardly at all for weeks now... just the CD player with my music... I watch a couple of shows during the week and the news for about a 1/2 hour in the morning... hmmmm.... I wonder. I never thougt too much about it but you're right about all the ads for 'food' and they are the wrong foods usually... :flowerforyou:

    That's so sad/funny/scary I don't know where to go with my emotions. If you're interested rent the movie "Food, Inc" and read the book "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. You will never look at your food the same way again.:sick:
