After the conversation in here today, I should probably feel guilty about eating girl scout cookies, but I don't.
I simply don't believe anyone should feel guilty about eating anything. Life is too short. If you want to eat organic, free-range, locally grown everything and eschew processed foods, HFCS, and hydrogenated oils, then rock on. But if, in the middle of that eating plan, you get mugged by a box of Thin Mints, there's no useful good in feeling guilty about it.
I have pictures!

I'm thinking of changing Nalu's name to Dean. He kinda has a Dean Winchester vibe to him.
I'm not sure of Maddie, I kinda like the name and couldn't think of anything fannish to change it to.
I agree with Steph...NO GUILT! Seriously, that is part of the problem with food -- guilt makes people eat really weird.
I don't want choice taken away -- I just want it easier to make choices
And I love to eat. So I want to sit and enjoy my food. I will never buy that food is just fuel.
I thought of this conversation when I saw a piece on one woman's experiment in living on a dollar a day. Here's what she ate: [link] She mostly ate pasta and rice. Her vegetables were frozen chopped spinach, cabbage and the tomatoes in marinara sauce and her fruit a couple of bananas and a couple of tangerines. She demonstrated buying food for seven days for $7: iirc, pasta, rice, tomato soup, chopped frozen spinach and a couple of bananas. She went on about how much healthier it was.
Such pretty kitties!
I'll have to hook up my camera tonight and download a few pics I took of Amarna over the weekend.
Oh! They are about the age Loki was when I got him: [link]
Do NOT allow bed mousies. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly proactive at the hour Loki starts attacking the bed mice and my feet are all scratched up because of it. It's all I can do to figure out to tuck my feet up.
Oh, they are adorable. Yay for new kitties.
I just spent a while going back through all of the Loki pics too. He's grown so much! But the video of the kitteh coma is still adorable.
The kitties won't be in bed with me for a bit. I'm supposed to keep them isolated for a while so until Thursday they'll mainly hang in the bathroom. I'll move Nalu in the bedroom then. I think my study will be offlimits unless supervised for a long time since there are lots of cords and computer stuff.
Awww! Loki looks so cute!
