Sugar Regulated As A Toxin?

According to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), sugar she be treated as a toxin and should be regulated the same as alcohol. We all know sugar is not good for your body or your teeth. But, I think regulating it the same as alcohol is a little excessive. Yes, many Americans have problems with obesity, but I really don't think it comes down to sugar. Sugar may play a role in the problem, but I think the main cause comes from so many Americans being on the run a lot and not taking the time to eat proper meals.

Americans eat too much fast food. Whether it be in the restaurants or from the frozen food isle.  There are bigger fish to fry than sugar. How about all the chemicals that are being added to our food, the chemicals that are being pumped into animals to produce larger animals or regulating the overseas manufacturers? No one seems to touch that topic. That may be because they don't want to make that many manufacturers angry. Huge amounts of artificial sodium and additives are added to frozen foods. So many Americans rely on frozen food and fast food restaurants to accommodate their busy schedule of work, picking up the kids from school and activities. 

The part I do agree with is, the soda, Gatorade, candy bars and all the junk food should be removed from the schools. Sugar consumption should be left up to the parents. It really irritates when I am trying to limit my child's junk food consumption and they can go to school and buy soda, Twix bars and Gatorade. Even though they know they are not supposed to buy those types of things at school, they do it anyway, because they are children. Schools should promote healthier eating habits. Instead, they give them the option to load up on junk food while the parents are trying to limit the junk food.

They Never Listen

I don't know what it is about my children, but they act like everything I tell them is a joke. This morning I told my son to take his lanyard out of his pocket and put it in his back pack, because he was going to lose it with the lanyard hanging out his pocket. He looked at me and gave me an annoyed look when I told him. Then when we get up to the school, he get's out of the truck and reaches for his lanyard. Well, it was gone and was no where to be found. I had to drive back to the house and look for it and then back to the school again to look for it in the parking lot before dropping my daughter off at the bus stop. The lanyard with his school ID was gone. I am sure it will show up somewhere, but for now he had to go to school without his ID. Somehow, he will manage to try and tell me, it had nothing to do with it hanging out of his pocket and he doesn't know how he lost it.  

13 Month Old Found Chewing On A Snake

Thirteen-month-old Imad Aleeyan, who has six teeth, was found by his mother chewing on a snake. 

The toddlers mother said, "I was making his milk and I looked over and saw he had a snake in his mouth," said his mother, Ghadir Aleeyan who lives in the Arab Israeli town of Shefa'Amr, 9 miles east of the port city of Haifa.

"I started to scream. I couldn't believe my eyes," she told AFP. "I nearly died of fright."

A neighbor who had rushed to see what all the screaming was about, pulled the half dead snake from the toddlers mouth and the family rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said, "Doctors at the hospital told us the snake was really poisonous but that we were very lucky because they release less venom in the winter."

"It probably didn't bite the child because of the cold," said Dr Shacham who is the head of the herpetology collection at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

"They are not really active in winter."

Moving...

Moving is so completely exhausting. It took two weeks to pack it up and now it's time to unpack everything and put it all away. I feel like I have been run over by a Mack truck. I have been working on moving for three weeks nonstop and I can't wait for it to be all done and things can get back to normal.

Today I just feel like my body has run out fuel and all I want to do is climb back into bed and go back to sleep.   With move my schedule has just got more busy. Things weren't as easy as before, there's a whole lot more driving kids around. Between driving my son to school and picking him up, then dropping my daughter off at the bus stop then having to pick her up. It's not like the old days where I could just send them out the front door and the bus stop was across the street. Oh well, you do what you have to do and move on with it.

Then to add to change, I have never driven around where I am living now and am finding myself not knowing how to get anywhere, including the local stores. Thank God for technology. I find myself making good use out of the GPS on my cell phone, it get's me where ever I need to go.

One thing I am feeling much better about, is the move is good for the kids. The area is much nicer and has good schools where I won't have to worry about them as much. When I moved to where I lived before, it was a nice area. But, it is going down hill fast over there and things weren't looking too good. A fresh start is always a good thing.
