A Very Scientific Survey

Im mulling over the (I think) last portion of this series before returning to exciting things like: Nathan telling me “when you say ‘I swear’ do you know what that means? That means you are going to kick someone in the head….with your foot. Thats what it means.” Yes- for $400 a month you TOO can send your kid to preschool to acquire useful, albeit incorrect, information. I swear. Also Nathan has been testing his limits lately with sassy little smart mouth comments and PC gets all drill instructor on his ass and listening to that banter cracks me UP. Then he inevitably lands himself in timeout and while in timeout he gets the silent treatment. “DAAAAD DAAAAAAAAD” he will yell. And after 8 or 10, increasingly louder and longer DAAAAD’s you hear this little exasperated “Oh…neverMIND.” And I have to bite my lip because damn its hilarious.

But, before we get back to those types of tales, lets talk about food. There will be another giveaway so don’t totally tune out yet. And before I tell you what I eat, I want to know what you eat.

FYI- I have no way of tracking your answers. Mom, I know probably a quarter of the hits a day are from you, but for the rest of you 70 readers, you have no reason not to participate in my Very Scientific Survey. I have no way of knowing who you are. Though, my curiosity is growing as to who is “trackingfriends”?

*I realize the problem with this one is family size (and number of non-potty trained members in the house). So, lets just assume you are shopping for a family of 4-5 (ie :if you are a couple double your amt)

We got some movies from Netflix today. Food Inc was in there. We watched it. I was practically drooling I watched it with such intensity. And at the end the question that kept rolling around in my head was: where along the way did we sell our SOULS?

Honestly. (And this isn’t my usual ‘Oh HONESTLY’ sarcasm. This is genuine). Im not sure what I think of a country….of a a society that has become……THAT. I wonder: what do we stand for as a society/culture/nation? The truth of the matter is when I watch things like that, I totally get why people hate us. We have no conscience or moral compass anymore.

I can’t get the image of the poor, defenseless [still living] cow being SHOVELED by a forklift out of my head. Or the pigs being slaughtered so inhumanly. What monsters we’ve become. And for what? So we can feed ourselves another burger made with 80% “meat filler”. The word glutton comes to mind.

Harsh words I know, but Im just so disgusted by it all. Everyone needs to see this movie.
