Food that most people think are healthy but are actually bad for you: Part 1
I realise I am going to have the majority of the human race disagreeing with me. But Most of them don't read my blog- you however do and all of you are going to disagree with me. However don't feel like any of these blogs are aimed at you- if you do maybe you have been convicted of something. They really aren't aimed at anyone in particular- well maybe a bit aimed at some one- more blog two than one. These are only my thoughts backed up by slightly dodgy research found in even more dodgy press. However since this is my blog I can do and say or commentate on what I like or even, Gosh horror, do it with bad grammer and spelling.
Things that are bad for you Part 1
Obsessing about eating healthy is bad for your health.
I find people who excessively focus on eating healthy annoying- I have no problem with changing what I am cooking due to allergies. But people who make comments like I'll bring a salad annoy me because it assumes that I wouldn't include that in the menu. And besides if you have baked veggies you don't need a salad. Or people putting themselves on Maccas (Mr Bell) or just general fast food bans (I'm looking at you Nathan Campbell). I am willing to bet that many non-fast food places are just as unhealthy as fast food especially now that some have healthy options (though some aren't that healthy and their name is a lie). All it does is make it harder for people to afford to go out therefore making it more exclusive. Although I'm not struggling anymore despite the fact I get paid less than the majority of you paid in tax I still remember what it was like to be struggling week to week hanging out till pay day and then having to blow a good chunk of it to go to Hog's breath because some people felt like steak. And yes I know there are cheaper things but it is hard to resist steak there and thus falling behind in your rent is far better than the loneliness of going to hungries alone or sitting at home by yourself. (and that isn't aimed at anyone- more of a comment on several groups of people over a 10 year period)
Anyway back on track reported here was this article
An obsession with eating healthily could be bad for your health, scientists warn.
Those who deny themselves entire food groups or worry too much about the "purity" of their meals are risking their mental and physical wellbeing.
Experts have reported a rise in such extreme behaviour, known as orthorexia nervosa.
Sufferers of orthorexia nervosa tend to be over 30, middle class and well educated.
Anorexia patients restrict the quantity of food they eat, but sufferers of orthorexia, named after the Greek for "right or true", fixate on quality.
Sufferers can eliminate sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods from their diet.
Foods tainted by pesticides or that contain additives such as MSG can also be ditched.
Such habits may seem quirky, but they can have a serious effect on health.
Cutting out entire food groups can leave sufferers malnourished, while rigid rules can make eating out impossible, putting a huge strain on friendships and relationships.
Ursula Philpot, chairman of the British Dietetic Association's mental health group, said: "I am definitely seeing significantly more orthorexics than just a few years ago.
"Other eating disorders focus on the quantity of food, but orthorexics can be overweight or look normal.
"They are solely concerned with the quality of the food they are putting in their bodies, refining and restricting their diets according to their understanding of which foods are truly 'pure'."
Deanne Jade, founder of the National Centre for Eating Disorders, said: "There is a fine line between people who think they are taking care of themselves by manipulating their diet and those who have orthorexia.
"I see people who have no idea they have this disorder."
Hmm cutting out full food groups (such as fast food or soft drink) :)
disclaimer: I know the food I eat is rotten and I need to lose weight. You could always help me fix this by inviting me over for dinner :) but like I said being my blog you can dismiss it in a postmoderistic sort of way- It might apply to him but not to me.

Cultural Studies
I don't mind people sticking up for their culture. But you need to be able to laugh at the oddities in it. Americans for instance- they made fun of Bush like crazy but then the moment someone else did- it just wasn't on. I like this video it is a great blend of cultures in a way you don't expect.
Sunday Trade
I grew up in an interesting culture in PNG. It wasn't a Christian culture as such. However the Lord's Day was always Sacred. No work was to be done on that day. I'm not meaning like the jews of old where you couldn't carry stuff or go somewhere. But if it was the normal work you did in the week you kept Sunday free. If you were travelling somewhere you could have a line out the back trawling for fish but you didn't go out for the specific purpose of fishing (Fishing wasn't a fun sport to these people it was a means of getting enough food to live hence work). This time was spent at church and then socialising with other people deepening their relationships with each other. My View of the Sabbath is different but now caught up in the hectic life we live in I'm starting to wonder if the people of Tubetube had it right. You see with my Sundays being busy and working Saturdays, I don't have a day off and I think I'm starting to suffer for it. I read this story on the Sun about one of the top BBC sports commentators who refuses to work on Sundays because of his Christianity. I also think of the movie Chariots of Fire- another guy who refused to run on sundays in the olympics. These guys have caused discssion about beliefs and Christianity which I think is good... I'm really starting to think about setting aside a day off in my week.
What do you think? Do you take a day off or I just need to Harden up and go to bed earlier.
