Pen & Teller, most people know them for the magic tricks they do, or comedy bits, others know about the "Bullshit" program where they pick apart topics to see how much "bullshit" is involved.
Now before you begin watching this episode with food/diet/organic/starvation themes, always be critical of BOTH sides including Pen & Teller, because remember, they ALSO are trying to get you to belive in one side. So they WILL cherry pick the most awkward people to represent the "other side" of the issue, they will generalize things (most of the time with the word "bullshit"), and will use humor to the advantage of gaining your aliegance. EVERYONE does this, it's why you want to be critical.
However, with the critical viewing instilled in me when I watch things like this, I still found myself to side with Teller & Pen on this issue, and i do most the time, but realize, I am being FED most ideas by people who want you to eat them. You, as I do, usually never study everything you do - including BOTH sides of what you want. If you think eating organic sounds good, people tend to look at the advatages of it, then go in. WITHOUT usually looking at negative or UNPROVEN-positive effects.
Now if you want an old blog I wrote as a sort-of referrance tie-in with part 3 of this episode
Read This. Then after you eat up on that, "Read more..." of this blog for the episode. I recomend this for dieting people, people interested in either side of the organic vs genetically enginered food, advertising, "health-nuts", greenpeace, things like this.
Go ahead, it's worth it...

Adult. What a word, what a very dark word. In the society that I live in the first thought may include visions of naughty viewing material. It also pulls images to the front that may include violence and gore. Adult, is a word that usually gets overlooked for it's most legitimate power, a word that I hope will soon shed some light on my life, not darkness...

sick, shingles, life, chickenpox
...
They tell you when you are a kid that you will only get chickenpox once. While that may be true, chickenpox will leave somthing behind that never goes away. Shingles. This crazy virus is left behind after you have chickenpox and is a secondary form, that CAN surface, go away, and re-surface again. Well hells-bells! I looked this crazy thing up and it turns out that usually people over 50 are the people who are most likely to have the shingles outbreak, and that it is "Virtually in-exhistant in people under 50"
HAHAhahawww-maaaan, this sucks
.
Well I talked to my aunt who is a pharmacist, and she says that if I just practice common sense like no scratching and that I wash my hands and stuff, that I will not spread it, so I am still determined to have tea with Ann tomorrow, regardless of the insane pain. Actually, it's a relief to have studied up on the Shingles because I feel reliefed in that sense, thankful really. This is the second outbreak I have had of the damn satan-pox, and I swear it's because of the chiropractic visits I have had, now this in no way is a scientific or doctoral suggestion, it's just that I learned the virus lies dormant on a vertebrae. Well with the chiropractor snapping these things in new directions, I think he has awakened the beast. I don't wanna do the chiropractor thing anymore.
Well wish me luck! to recovery, and a first date with Ms. f
Ann-tastic! haha.

lobster, life, Seagull, nature
BETHLEHEM, N.H. - Monstro the 15-pound lobster didn't wind up on the menu.
The giant lobster caught 100 miles off the Massachusetts coast spent last month in the lobster tank at Angelica's Restaurant in Bethlehem. He recently was returned to the water, just off the southern tip of West Island, five miles from New Bedford, Mass.
Fred Cunha, the restaurant owner, bought the 37-inch Monstro with his 15-inch-long claws from a New Bedford fishing boat in mid-October. Cunha estimates Monstro is 50 years old.
Fifteen-pound lobsters are rare anywhere, but especially in the North Country.
Half the customers who weighed in on the subject wanted to eat Monstro; the other half felt sorry for him.
After persistent lobbying from diners and his 7-year-old daughter Angelica, Cunha decided to raffle off Monstro, with the winner deciding whether to send him to the ocean or the cooking pot.
So Monstro lounged in the restaurant's tank with Mr. Crabby, Angelica's pet 2-pound lobster, feasting on minced crab and scallops. Cunha sold chances at $1 apiece until he reached Monstro's retail price of $150.
"She was really worried," Cunha said of his daughter. "She really wanted him to go free."
Last Friday, Angelica drew the winning ticket. The winner, Claire Lupton of Whitefield, doesn't eat lobster. She said a lobster that big and that old shouldn't end up on a dinner plate.
The Monstro raffle was so successful that Cunha extended it to another lobster, a 9-pounder who'd joined Monstro in the tank a couple of weeks ago. That lobster was set free, too.

W1: Waking up early and speeding down 2 miles spraying my uzi out the window at anyone in my way to get into the line at EB Games so I can preorder my Nintendo Wii. Run on sentance? yes. 1/2 False? Yes. The truth is: I woke up early, drove the speed limit to the mall. Once I had arrived at the mall, I sat behind 4 other people on the floor outside EB Games. We played DS and talked, I plugged Opera into conversation, and when the store opened we got our Wii pre-ordered.
I picked my check up as well from Macy's, wich is located in the same mall.
W2: Yardwork again, leaf-blowing and mulching. It was alright. Later in the day I had tp take my grandfather somewhere so he could get business done. I also got a call from work telling me they didn't need me sunday, but they will next saturday.
W3: My computer has been going slow as balls lately so I decided to uninstall Norton antivirus as it boggs computers down. After the install my computer decides that it wants to go slow as dead balls now. I am disliking windows more and more everyday.
party star : Got my Wii preordered.
shadow star: Got a slow computer running slower.
