- There is enough food produced in the U.S. for each man, woman and child to consume 3,800 calories per day. What the. It's risen from 3,300 in the 70's, which is intense, but I kind of can't figure out how it was even that high back then. It's kind of blowing my argument that the food industry is to blame for Fatmerica. Whether or not I actually believe that to be true, the verdict is still out.
- Obesity has become the main nutrition problem, ironically, surpassing hunger. And that isn't even just in the U.S. Permission to submit one of these: WTF?
- For the first time in two centuries, the life expectancy of children is now less than that of their parents.
- SuperSize Me is a sweet documentary. (By sweet I mean salty. By salty, I don't mean risque and wrought with [too much] bad language, but rather sodium and the like.) I know, I'm like 5 years late, right? It took me about three years to realize it wasn't a Michael Moore film, and then another two to actually get around to seeing more than just snippets of the thing. It's pretty McInteresting.
I came across a nice little $5 find at the DI the other day on my quest for an angel food cake tin.

ah, see? it's a BOWL
Pretty terribly tarnished, right? But such a cool serving bowl, and it even has a lid (not previously shown). So I went and picked up some silver polish, and wha-la! (can someone help with the spelling of that? I have a feeling that it's of French origin, and I just took a giant American language crap all over it. But I digress.)
Isn't she pretty? After almost an hour of scrubbing and raw, charcoal-colored fingers, it turned out even more lovely than I thought it would, and will be perfect for potatoes or something for Fakesgiving at my mom's.
I hope this energy stuff runs out pretty quick, because it's finally that time of night where my eyeballs are bloated and my face feels like I rubbed a buttery piece of Texas Toast all over it.
