So I was clicking really fast through my friends FB photo album, and look what I found!

Health Assignment- Talk about your comfort foods. This is what one of my fellow students came up with.

I like to eat granola bars and drink chocolate milk. I eat up to 15 granola bars a day, and drink several pints of chocolate milk. I am most prone to eating granola bars in the period before lunch, because I always get hungry at that time. I also eat many granola bars when I play tennis in the afternoons, because sometimes I get bored and eat to amuse myself. I like drinking chocolate milk because it is very filling. In fact, sometimes I substitute chocolate milk for solid foods. My mother tells me that this is okay because babies drink nothing but milk, and chocolate milk has extra nutrients from the high fructose sugar and artificial chocolate flavoring. Comfort foods encourage overeating because they are appetizing, and you can often eat more than non comfort foods. Eating fruits, vegetables, and drinking water would be more healthy physically than eating comfort foods. I am particularly lucky because my favorite comfort foods are extremely healthy and supplement my abundant diet. Furthermore, I can eat all different kinds of granola bars to get different types of nutrients.
I think that bariatric surgery is an excellent idea for teens. Teenagers need more nutrients than adults, because they are growing. Therefore, by having bariatric surgery, they can increase their intake of food even more. This would make them much happier and would greatly improve their mental health. However, I do not think that bariatric surgery is a good idea for anorexic people, because they already do not receive enough nutrients. Instead, it should be used for teenagers who know how to feed themselves and have the discipline to eat more food than necessary every day. They need to be exemplary eaters and go above and beyond their recommended diets.
Actually, on second thought, bariatric surgery is not such a good idea for teens. Apparantly it not only reduces your nutrient intake but also reduces your stomache size. Therefore, it will be difficult to eat more food to make up for the loss of nutrients.

Today, my sister received “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” in the mail from Netflix. And the disc was split in half! After I found out, I quickly jumped onto Netflix’s site to see what to do in situations like these. And to my surprise, Netflix had a simple and easy way of reporting damaged discs. They are sending a new copy of the DVD on the next business day.  Go Netflix for making things that could have been painful, not so painful.

He coined “truthiness” and the “Colbert bump;” his triumphs over the human lexicon now also include the name of a species of spiders, Aptostichus stephencolberti.

The new spider species was discovered by East Carolina University biologist Jason Bond, who specializes in spiders and millipedes.  Colbert demanded that he was named after the spider, after finding out that Bond had previously named another spider after Neil Young.  The spider will be called the Aptostichus stephencolberti, with a silent t.  It (he? she?) will be appearing on the Colbert Report this coming Wednesday.  First, a portrait hanging in between bathrooms at the Smithsonian – now, this. Stephen sure has a lot going for him.

This should be in every restaurant/fast food joint.

Some people just can’t multi-task and can cause hold ups and pains for other people waiting on line. Situations arise when they don’t know what to order, when it’s their turn and they forget to tell them to hold the tomato, and when they make the restaurant remake their food.

Good stuff.

This post would count as one of the more random ones. So say you were at a party, and a friend just brought a box of warm…Sprite (for all of our PG viewers). Nobody wants to drink warm Sprite, and to putting it in a fridge would take to long.
