Getting Past the "New Norm"

No wonder we are confused. AND DEFINITELY no wonder all the kids are confused. With the food that has been normalized in this country, its a wonder we are all still here. Actually, it's worse. We're all here, but we're connected to sleep apnea machines and clutching to our walkers at age 43 because our hips have literally deteriorated. It's out of control.

I was at the grocery the other day and I saw a Snickers bar that said it Glowed in the Dark?! What glows in the dark? The actual candy? What the hell is in a candy that makes it glow in the dark?! How would anyone think that was a good idea?!

Have you watched Saturday morning cartoons recently? DON'T. You'll be on your way to the grocery to stock up on Gushers, Sugar Cereals, and whatever other plastic "food" they are selling kids these days.

So what is your role in all this? It's your job is to get past it! Walk past it at the grocery, turn off the TV, look away from billboards, don't look in your co-worker's lunch box. You have to be stronger than today's marketing. Trust me, this is no easy task. I was kind of intrigued by the Glow in the Dark Snickers:)

The main point: This post is just about awareness. You have to be aware of something in order to avoid it. So, good luck - its a dangerous glow-in-the-dark world out there.

P.S. Please do not eat glow in the dark food. (I'll try to get more information on this)
