More Info

While I was at the spa last Friday, I happened to pick up a book. It was called 'Eat To Live' by a Muslim prophet, I don't remember who. But I began to read through the first part of the book and realized how, restrictive it is. There were so many things you couldn't eat, or didn't want to because our bodies have such a hard time processing them. But what struck me as sort of ironic, was that the book said you should only eat one meal a day. The book also said that you would live longer if you could eat one meal every two or three days.

The teachings of this prophet are scary close to our own Ana creeds. Yet they are accepted. How is what we do wrong? Trying to better ourselves, stay healthy, live long? Keeping ourselves away from temptations, and gluttony. Gluttony is a deadly sin, yet this country is so Obese. So much for living after our puritanical founders. I hate the way this country work sometimes. Its frustrates me to no end. Anyway you can pick up a copy of that book maybe at a used book store but it was so old I'm not sure.

Down 3 lbs. How about you?

The idea that the US actually functions under some subtle religious law is a total joke. What pisses me off is that people throw out "America is a Christian nation" for things that are completely random, like condeming homosexuality, and yet they're all completely self-indulgent gluttons who have actually found a way to make bingeing socially acceptable, and then when someone is starving themselves they go on about how they're ruining the body that God created for them, blah blah blah, I apologize so much for ranting in a comment. Haha.
