Damn you J Grims

I should be listening to my teacher in class but instead I'm reading http://jgrimbol.xanga.com/. Read it.

I just watched Food, inc.
Participant media offers five ways to act now through their site takepart.com/foodinc. I particularly like how each issue has a "five ways to act now" section:

1.) Buy organic or sustainable food.

2.) Go without meat once a week.

3.) Read labels—know where your food comes from.

4.) Drink more water, fewer sugary beverages.

5.) Support companies that treat workers, animals, and the environment with respect.

If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple you're not that hungry.

I have decided to start giving food the dignity it deserves. For the next week I am going to try to eat my meals without doing anything else.
