I have a Food Addiction!

It has been awhile since I've been here. Still struggling to get that BMI down. I realized today have the only addiction I've ever had and it is food.

As long as am in control, I'm ok. But once the triggers hit, I have a hard time stopping. Typically I fast  a lot, because that is the only way I know how to control the addiction. The other downside, food just sticks to me. Even with all the exercising. I can't even imagine if I didn't exercise, I would be even bigger.

I'm not giving up and recognize the challenges, especially with the holidays coming. Other foodies don't understand why you don't want to indulge. I have willpower and not giving up.

See yo soon!

Food, inc. - Just watched it. Really makes you go hmm!

Food, Inc.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
