Why is it?

Miriam and me got to talkin yesterday in the car as we sat infront of Wal-Mart and the conversation was about how come health food is so damn expensive yet everything drenched in oil and fat and death are so cheap. If I want a Big Mac I have to pay around 3 dollars but if I want to eat anything organic I have to drive miles away to find a farm or go to the super market and buy from the organic isle and pay about twice as much as I would for that Big Mac. We both find this strange since obesity is one of the biggest (no pun intended) problems in America, and yet no-one has done anything, well almost no one. Some place in America have gotten rid of Trans fats which I think is a good step in the right direction.

But we still need to take it further and have more healthy options in our life, more places need to be like subway or at least what Wendy's is trying to do with there healthy line up a great salads and delicious chicken substitutes. This just really gets me upset to think about later how many people will have heart problems and many will die from clog arteries, some will die young while others die old and slow. This was just my thoughts on this, felt like I needed a way to convey this message out into the public.

I love just talking to you about stuff and i was thinking about this too and since our families eat so crappy maybe when we are together we can try not to eat as bad.
