getting fit or getting skinny?

So to start off I'm going to say I've struggled with self harm, low self esteem, blah blah blah. All the common teenager stuff. I have recently discovered that working out relaxes me a lot, and I'm also trying to cut things like chips and pop out of my diet. Now I've been researching some healthy snacks, and some exercises from some very... extreme sites, and I'm starting to wonder; will I start out with healthy amounts of food and slowly slip into something more serious? I'm afraid that I'll slip into an eating disorder. Any thoughts on ways I can avoid this?

Why say grace?

Our ancestors sat down at their kitchen tables and thought, “Thank God, we get to eat tonight.”

We don’t have to do that, so we are losing our reverence for food.

I grew up on a farm. Many times I’ve been asked, “How could you eat a cow that you knew?” The answer is: reverently.

HOLODOMOR - so how are we doing?

This is National Holodomor Awareness Week Nov. 22-28.

This is to remember the Ukranian famine genocide from 1932 -1033 under Stalin's Communist regime where l1 million Ukranians died.

Saskatchewan passed Bill No. 40 , an act to recognize Holodomor  in 2008.

The United Nations passed a similar bill.

Senator Raynell Adreychuck wrote " We must never again allow a repressive regime to use food as a weapon for the pursuit of ideological views and goals."

So how well do you think we are doing?

Time for a WonderParty

Beautiful evening here.  It's still sunny and warm, no flies or mosquitos yet.  Time to break out the barbeque and grill up some food.  I've got Wonderburgers and,,, well, out of respect for Pommom and others, those are WonderWursts there, NOT hot dogs.  So grab a lawn chair, bring something to pass, eat or drink, and your favourite music (instrument or pre-recorded) and c'mon out to the back yard.
