This past week, I haven't really been feeling well and had to leave work early. Last night, I went to the doctor to explain my symptoms and figure out next steps. In any event, one thing Dr. Chiara told me was that I needed to start eating breakfast. I mean, I know I shouldn't need a doctor to tell me that, but I really just don't like eating breakfast. Coffee is just fine for me.
In any event, I decided that I'd start off my "I'm going to eat breakfast every morning" phase off right, and went to get an egg white omelet with whole wheat toast. After being rung up at $9.86, I realized why America is so fat. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO EAT HEALTHY! I mean, $10 for breakfast is beyond ridiculous...a bagel is like what, $3?? Of course someone is going to opt for that! Similarly, we have McDonald's and all these other fast food joints that are so cheap, it's just "easier" and wallet-friendly to eat that crap. Same goes for organic products -- they are much more expensive than "regular" items. Given that argument, along with these tough economic times, of course people are going to opt for the cheaper and non-healthy alternative. Therein lies part of the reason that America is fat. The other part is our inability to understand proper portion control, but that's a whole other story (thank you, TGIFriday's, for your commercials on three-course meals for $10...you suck.)
My next point is about "LOLs." The whole LOL (Laughing Out Loud) has just become so annoying. I hate people who use it every other word/sentence. It's like, NO - you aren't laughing out loud - so stop writing it. I get it, you want to sound cutsie wootsie and like you're giggling on the inside, but it's lame - so stop. Then it's like, should I write "haha?" or just a plain "ha?"
They all seem pretty annoying and therein lies the problem with conversing over IM. One can never tell tone and demeanor.
That's what's up.
i am making my first comment on ur blog ever. i should start to do this sorry i always like read n hit the x.
ReplyDeleteanyway, so my thoughts are: get a box of cereal and a gallon of milk and some fruit, its all cheap and u can store it at work and eat that as breakfast, rather than buying it.
im a dork, "lol" byeeeeeeee
America IS fat. My wallet much prefers a box of mac and cheese to a salad. Love your point about "LOL" - it bugs the crap outta me that it is overused...people really aren't laughing, so what's the point anyway. Btw, these "thoughts" blogs are my favs.
