After having read about a half dozen books about American diet habits and the American condition overall, I'm determined to eat healthier. Fast food Nation, Fat Land, Chew on This, What's Cooking?, The Omnivore's Dilemma, (okay, not quite half a dozen)... But overall what I've gathered from this all is that we're feeding petroleum products to our

It angers me to learn that the automobile industry financed the buyout of so many public transport systems and then shut them down. And THEN lobbied the government to change regulations to accomodate the automobile more than the traditional foot traffic.

Democracy and capitalism, yay!

...I like your shape...

As for planting your garden, just remember the rule of 4 - 1 seed to grow, 1 seed for the birds, 1 seed for the cats/dog, 1 seed to just not work.

Where is this Farmer's Market you speak of located? I'd like to try one out.

There are two that I've found out about.

One is just off of Richmond between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway on Saturdays and Wednesdays. That's the one I went to.

The other one is at Onion Creek on Saturdays and Rice Stadium on Tuesdays. Haven't tried it out yet.

I used to bike to skool and I didn't get into shape first but let me tell you. I couldn't eat enough to keep the weight on when I did. It's amazing. Just do it. JUST DO IT.

I take the bus home too, and it's not just 15 minutes extra to my mornings and evenings. But, I take a book, my DS, whatever and get something done that I would have done at home anyway. It makes it much easier. I figure the 30 minutes I would have been in the car doing NOTHING but staring at the car in front of me is worse than the hour I spend reading a good book or playing Super Pirncess Peach.

Anyway, baby steps. Don't get discouraged. :)

You coming to Con this year? Xlyinia posted a forum post on it. :)
