Stubbs the Zombie was a fantastic game. You should try it. It will change your outlook on the walking dead, and not in the way that that horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible (and not cool, like Dr. Horrible) Land of the Dead movie tried to.

I dunno...Sean took me to see Dawn of the Dead once and now every time I play any kind of game (Champions of Norrath 1&2 and more recently, Ninja Gaiden) I get my face eaten or something disgusting happening. Kind of a turn off if you can't kill what's already dead.

I'll look it up though.

This one's cool because you play as the zombie, and it's kinda noirish, set in a futuristic version of the '40s.

Noir = win! I've always been a fan of that style. I'll definitely keep it in mind.

While I know the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle is not for me or my body, I think it is fantastic the amount of time and energy you spend learning about food and how to better eat it.

I also agree that something has gone wrong with diet here if so many people (myself sadly included) are overweight and have all manner of allergies, neurological diseases, and other problems.

My process is working toward organic, whole foods, and well cared for grains and meats. It's a slow change because of the double cost for many of these items, but I am working on it ;-)

I think over all, when we eliminate processed foods, focus on foods that are well grown and full of nutrients, and eat only grains and legumes that are properly prepared, we feel much better!

I know I already feel much better even with the cheats I have done and the shortfalls in my diet. In time, I hope to completely change my way of living.

So I think you are awesome and should keep it up!

Thanks!

I think that organic is definitely the way to go, even organic meats. The only downsides is the sustainability and you have to really be committed to eating the produce otherwise it turns really quickly. Like these organic bananas that Jeremy bought this past week--they were on the counter for three days and were already 1/4 brown.

As for the cost, I'd rather pay a little more for the benefits of good food now rather than pay, oh I don't know, $60,000 for open heart surgery for an angioplasty or to have any of my major arteries cleaned out,or major chemotherapy later in life.

So I agree with you--we definitely need to educate ourselves better on nutrition and I'm glad we can count ourselves deeply blessed to have the resources to do so.
