Because books.

Amy, have you seen The Losers yet?

I haven't. I thought I was getting better early in the week, but instead I have a fever, no voice, and a seal bark cough again. We're going next weekend, which makes me want to cry, but it's better than nothing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

AND I think that our culture is predisposed to think of fruit as worse for you than veg.

Totes agree, I think people attach some bogus moral valence to it. As a mom, I don't really push my son to eat veggies like his sister given that he eats so much fruit.

I eat fruit all the time. I don't understand how people think it's not healthy -- it's full of good things, *and* delicious.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I saw The Losers today. I wanted to pat the movie on its little head, it tried so hard. I think it's worth it if you're a JDM fan, which I am. Felt like a summer movie to me, and I'm tempted to check out the comic book to see if certain shots, as I suspect, came straight from the source material.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My kids are very much like Burrell's. Owen won't eat a vegetable to save his life. I'm ok with him eating just fruit. Liv, thankfully, will scarf them down.

When clementines are available, I embarrass myself. 5-10 a day, easily. And when Pink Ladies are in season? I just add them to the munch list.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Fruit has a high fructose content. Veggies have...cellulose. Yes, I know most have some sugar, but the concentration of sugar to fiber is much lower in vegetables.

We go through clementines by the bushel, it seems like, in season.

Sara's really the only big fruit eater aside from me, though. A lot of mornings she asks for an apple for breakfast. With bacon on the side, but still.

Fruit has a high fructose content.

They do, but they're also full of vitamins, and in moderation they're fine for a healthy diet. The diabetic recommends them, but you can't eat, say, a pound of cherries. A serving would be maybe twelve. And if you skipped a carb you could double up.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

CJ is pretty good about eating his vegetables. Last time I took him with me to Costco, they were sampling the Super Juice - a dark green veggie juice and he LOVED it. I buy a jug for him whenever I'm there.
