  What does 100 calories look like?

  by jgnat in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  have you ever marvelled, as i have, at the marketing genius that sells us less food for more money?

  the marketer who came up with the "100 calorie" packaging ploy deserves a consumer's medal.

  i am recording my own 100 calorie snack wonders, that are balanced for a diabetic (carb, protein, and roughage).

  gosh - you know we hear about diabetes, but don't actually realise the issues involved for peeps that have to live with the medical condition.

  People think fat-free and sugar free is healthier. It's not. Natural is best, all about balance. No way I could drink tea without sugar, but rarely do I now drink fizzy pop. Kids only get it occasionally for treats.

  I know diabetes on the rise in Uk cos of obesity. ( there's different types isn't there )

  I too had my kids on'proper' food and diets when they were younger. (but not fanatical you know, talk to them and educate them about stuff, balance)

  My aunt developed it in her later years in life. (passed away)

  many may remember when a group of native americans took over alcatraz prison island in 1969, those protestors were led by horse capture among other notable figures in the native american protest movement.. a a'aninin, or more commonly known as the gros ventre tribe, horse capture grew up on the improverished fort belknap reservation, born in 1937. his more formal birth name was nay gyagya nee or 'spotted otter'.

  like many of his peers from the reservation system the us government saw fit to 'educate' these young men and women in western styled careers.

  horse capture was sent to a welding school while many of the young women were sent for training as beauticians.

  What do you think a witness would say when shown this quote?

  what do you think a witness would say when shown this quote, then the proof of the 1914, 1925 predictions?.

  "true, there have been those in times past who predicted an "end to the world," even announcing a specific date.

  yet nothing happened.

  Cstholic religion has changed so much.

  Still largely very conservative in some countries though. what's that saying, iron fist in velvet glove, only minus the velvet glove. lol.

  Irish dancing itself, originated as it was the only dance they were allowed to do ( no touching bodies etc ).

  Pagan heathen Ireland had to be 'civilised' by the RCChurch.

  I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion

  i recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.

  while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.

  more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

  Global Cooling

  so if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?

  pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.

  then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.

  Joe lol. great to see you have some humour.

  Know what make sme laugh about all these regulations on global _____ pick title.

  You got little european countries, that have to abide. Change their light bulbs, recycle their rubbish, etc.

  Then you have huge countries like China, can do whatever the FK they like - major pollutors.

  Easter Island - attenborough did a docu about it. The mystery of what happened. Turns out the most probable explanation was - they destroyed their eco sytem and could not recover. Wiped themselves out.

  df parent is in hospital icu and surgeon wants to give blood.

  parent is df for almost 20 and firmly refused blood for personal reasons (spiritual).. .

  my concern is that parent is taking strong stand based on outdated jw gb hlc guidelines.

  AS - I understand even though DF, still holding to the religion in the heart. that bond to God, is not, and never will be broken to the individual. Even if they not attending. I wasn't Df, just inactive ( thank God, now I have learned so much from everyone here. I've only been awake now for a few months)

  Even when I was inactive, not studying and going under the knife, i stood by the no blood. people don't get it. It's not about logic. It is one's personal relationship with God that is on the line. the cord cannot be severed.

  My new hubby to be has told me straight out ( even though he is/was supportive of my beliefs, even came to some meetings with me, never says bad word about the religion )

  The blood thing, no way would he back me up on it. He would make me have it if it meant saving my life. Now I don't have to worry, lol, i know TTATT.

  Your parent is in an awful predicament. and stress is the worst thing for depression. When your at that low point, when dying is easier, there is no strength to fight to live. If you put to much pressure on, parent may shut down. be careful.

  I do hope it goes ok for you.

  Jo

  The earth is self cleaning.

  Many rivers that were heavily polluted, no fish etc ... once the pollution stopped, fish stocks came back etc.

  Although I don't think the massive deforestation that's going on in the world, and the nuclear disasters (chernoybel, fukishima) are doing much to help.
