If it isn’t addictive why is it so popular? There is a line about it is hard to sleep in a prison…so I can see wanting to get a good night’s sleep.

Potlucks and staying within my values

Last night I went to a potluck. I brought my own plates so I wouldn’t have to use Styrofoam and I brought my own silverware.  I tried to pick the most healthy of the food to eat. There was one lady their who would NOT give her baby a hot dog because of the nitrates…but she ate one herself. I don’t eat most meat because I don’t know how the animal was feed or slaughtered. If I know they animal was pasture-raised and slaughtered locally, then I will eat it.

Someone brought a huge box of bananas and someone else brought some watermelon.

Luckily for me they served water from a big cooler because I also don’t drink bottled water.

Water is a public resource, not a commodity. See http://www.sierraclub.org/committees/cac/water/bottled_water/bottled_water.pdf
