Nutrition is Knowledge

The #1 reason people change their eating habit is because of knowledge. I can honestly say that my child_units are really not liking me taking this nutrition class. I keep bugging them about different things now. Although, I think Em may have found it interesting at the store the other day when we were "shopping". We were comparing nutrition labels and some of them were very interesting, the "Lite" stuff actually had more calories and fat calories, the only thing that made it "lite" was the fact that it had 50% less sodium. I think that falls into some sort of false advertising, they really need to explain what "they" mean by "lite". I still haven't bought hotdogs since I've started this class, and I seriously doubt I will anytime in the near future. The same goes with bologna and other processed lunch meats. Dominic actually sat down and cried, begging me to buy some hotdogs....it was hard, but I resisted the tears! I wonder how many years it'll be before he realizes that it was for his own good? Yeah, you're right, probabaly never.

I have seriously put off doing my homework today, so it seems that I'll probably be up late studying, *sigh* I don't know why I procrastinate so much about it. Maybe it makes it a challenge for me. The question is, do I really need that sort of challenge? No, I don't!! We get to watch a video in Child Psych tomorrow, it's supposed to be about child birth. Wow, I wonder if I have enough experience in that subject? Ummmmm, yeah, I think I do!!!

Ok, enough of this "putting off of the homework" ordeal, the kids are fed and happily fighting, so it's time for me to go and lock myself into my back room and work.

Y'all eat something green and leafy! (vegetable)
Love Ya :)
