Flirting 101 (satire)

When you are in chat with your online girlfriend, don't put pressure on her. Keep it clean. Be innocent.

Friends flirt; friends don't cyber because it is more enjoyable to flirt like friends do, innocently.

You must promise to keep your conversations civil, but she expects you to be flirty.

Here's how to test those waters: ask her if she is horny. I asked her, and she said, "Of course not. But I am hungry."

Score: 1-0 for her for flirting.

In response, I replied "Food >>> sex". That resulted in major LOL's.

Next time I may ask her ask "Are you hungry?"

I must be falling for her if I'm willing to risk mentioning this online relationship on my blog.

Now when we chat, we ask each other if we are hungry. Usually it turns out we just ate.

An Immoral Proposal Regarding Crackerjack Kids (satire)

Does anyone know of a good way to get medicinal nutrition into the food supply to help children who misuse their computer access to bully, harass and terrorize the world? You know, the crackers mistaken for hackers?

Perhaps it is possible to super-size those fries with yam genes? And through selective breeding, the farm factory industry are able to create cows that produce a higher yield of choline (source of acetylcholine), tyrosine (source of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenalin) and tryptophan (source of serotonin) in addition to pyridoxal (helps create neurotransmitters and retinol (improves eyesight) derivatives along with thiamine (improves mental acuity)? Or the vegan equivalent of grains and nuts to boost brain power? Yes, I am suggesting we move beyond hacking computers.

Where's the gene splicing kits for tomorrow's gene hackers? We may need to make a smart-drug neuro-peptide with nutritional co-factors piggybacking within the polypeptide chain.

Additionally, I feel that crackerjacks need to be inoculated with a special virus to enlighten their current methods of social control. Perhaps that's what they mean by "a dose of humility."

The Aftermath of a Good Concert

Rumor has it that 25,000 Mumford & Sons fans descennded on two beer gardens after becoming a captive audience with money. They left behind mountains of plastic cups and lots of pop bottles & food wrappers and the like.

It's estimated to take all Saturday and Sunday to clean up Holland Park in Surrey.

Sorry, but I decided not to snap photos of the mess.

IMO the only good to come out of the concert was Surrey may make money on the food sold as a lot of Mumford & Sons' fans from outside Surrey (almost all of them) will now return to Surrey to eat at their restaurants.

Though, it's also rumored that not all the food vendors were from Surrey.

Debunking Two Myths about Coconut Oil

In this article, two myths about coconut oil are addressed. Then referenced statements about coconut oil, unhealthy food consumption, the relationship between cheap food and obesity and malnutrition, and the high risk of cancer that fast food workers may be exposed to.

Most people who haven't heard about coconut oil are familiar with coconut. So they often ask, "Does it taste like coconut?" No, because all the taste is in coconut "meat".

Health authority tells us "saturated fats" are bad for us. So, a naîve consumer may ask, "Is the saturated oil in coconut oil unhealthy too?" No, because the saturated fatty acids in coconut are medium-chain fatty acids, compared to fatty acids in canola oil, which are mainly long-chain fatty acids.

In fact, few of the calories in coconut oil will turn into fat in the body when you reduce carbohydrate consumption.

It has always been carbohydrates and cheap vegetable oils that have contributed to the majority of unhealthy food consumption.

No doubt the food industry wouldn't be making a profit from cheap foodstuff that has been confirmed to cause obesity and malnutrition.

Fast-food joints cook in canola oil, which is known to cause breathing problems in food workers who are sensitive to the fumes.

Health authorities in the US recommended that the erucic acid content in canola oil be lowered to 2%, which led rapeseed being bred for low erucic acid content.

However, the 2% trace of euricic acid may still affective sensitive workers.
