My Thoughts For Today

[suzanne sanders]

HAVING MINDFUL TEA MOMENTS, Is what gives me peace and health.  Just wondering what other people do. 

I CAN ONLY HOPE PEOPLE STOP CONSUMING AND BEING SO WASTEFUL, THAT THEY THINK ABOUT THEIR PURCHASES AND WHERE  THEY END UP SOME DAY.  MOST OF IT NEVER GOES AWAY.  THAT IS TO MUCH WASTE FOR THIS PLANET.  Every time I go to the dump I think about the things I have bought for my kids and myself, I have been apart of this toxic mess.  I have been apart of all those plastic pieces that are becoming grains of sand.   Every toy I had purchased and anything plastic will never ever leave this planet.  UG  

Just because we have a dump does not mean we can be so wasteful.  Dumps grow and eventually run out of room. 

Instead of covering up a problem we should be coming up with REAL SOLUTIONS.   It is up to us to stop this insanity of addiction of being a consumer.  It is time to create a real change, as my good friend Debbie would say ' IS IT A WANT OR A NEED" 

We all know there is a lot of information our there on Diets.  Most people get frustrated and do not know where to start.  So, frustrated that they do not even know what a VEGGIE IS ANYMORE??? 

As I was working in the green house today I was thinking about the American Standard Diet (SAD)  I went back in time for the moment, back far enough that I was thinking about what my children were watching when they were young.  What brought me  back to those moments is my passion I have about teaching people how to eat healthy.  Why are we getting more unhealthy?  When I think back to Saturday morning cartoons, I stopped letting my kids watch them because I could not take all the junk food commercials.  Every time that cartoon stopped, it was terrible junk food being advertised to the kids.  I new that this was not good for my children's brain.  Their sub-conscience was being fed terrible ideas for their future and this would affect their choices as an adult.   The next thing that came to mind was Sesame Street.  First, there is Oscar who eats trash and junk.  This can't be a good mind set for children.  We all know junk food is junk.  Garbage in your body is not a healthy way of life.  Second there is Cookie Monster.   Most of us know the song,  C is for cookie and it's good enough for me.   Look at the picture up above, what is missing?  Again our children are looking at this and getting the wrong idea.  

I think it is time to have a puppet character that is the 'VEGGIE MONSTER"  and it sings V is for veggie and it's good enough for me, and we see this veggie monster going crazy over veggies.  

Just my thoughts of the day

Good point about monsters! We need a veggie monster! V is for veggie and that's better than cookie!

Funny, that picture mentions veggies, but shows only fruit. thanks for your thoutful post. We need to remember that every purchase matters. Every single thing we buy is a political statement. There are sinister forces out there. We cannot afford to buy into their junk.
