Peroxide will do you no good. It will not save your toe. The toe will still fall off. The death will continue to spread throughout your foot. Moving back through your foot. Fighting, consuming it. The body will realize this too late. It will try to defend itself, without victory. The foot will begin to decay. There will be nothing viable left. It will need to go. Cut at the ankle. Severed.

I have set up another blog that is located at www.rs320.com. Please stop buy and check it out.

Today I went to the viewing of my friend Deb. The viewing was nothing short of a redneck circus. Once I paid my respects I fled the scene. I do feel a little bad about the fact she deserved more respect than I showed. I think though, knowing me, she would understand. Deb you were a wonderful human being and will be greatly missed by me. There have been a good deal of people that mean something to me that I have ignored in the last few years. You being one of them. With your passing I now know I need to let these people know more often that I am thinking of them and that they have made a substantial contribution to my life.

Thank you for being such a good friend to me and my family.

With it being the middle of winter, we as humans, spend a great deal of time battling dry skin. We use moisturizing soaps, shampoos, hand lotions by the gallon and even stronger items like aquaphor and corn husker’s lotion. But what do we use on our best friends to ensure their skin is moisturized? Most of you will respond “nothing.” Buried under that beautiful coat of fur is skin that is as dry and flaky as yours or mine. We tend not to do anything about it because we can’t see it. Out of sight, out of mind.

We need to pay close attention to our canines during the winter so that there are less problems during the spring and summer. By doing things as simple as adding a tablespoon of olive oil (for a medium to large dog) once or twice a week, we can ensure that our wonderful friends skin is just as moisturized as our own. Hell, maybe even more so. Some people, and vets, also adding fish oil to your dogs feeding schedule. This is great for the skin, coat, and over all health of your canine.

Please keep your loved ones healthy.

We <3 them.

After love

Nothing finer than a little alien after love.

Nice tattoo.

Goat one

Lamancha Goat

Poor goat….He got in the way when I was trying to give him more straw since it is so muddy out right now.

Goat one chewing on his bedding.

It is dryer than anything else in his reach…..Have a snack goat one.

It is so amazing to be here hosting my life.

Some of you may know me from the movies whereas others of you may know me from tv, but most of you know me from naked pictures on the internet. I dont remember posing nude but I have found them on the internet and we know that everything on the internet is real so I must have done it. So there ya go.

OBESITY AND BEHAVIOR

Introduction

Millions of Americans are considered obese. Calculations of body mass index, BMI, are used to determine obesity. .Several factors to consider when contemplating this number and the fact that it is growing. Peralta indicates that a study in 1999 – 2000 revealed that 30.9% of the American population had a BMI of 30 or greater classifying them as obese. Obesity has been linked to genetics, disease, and life style related to exercise, and eating habits although these are not the only factors to be considered they are important. “In 2000 former surgeon general David Satcher MD drew attention to obesity being a national crisis declaring it a national epidemic.” As stated in the 2004 movie Super Size Me.

Social Origin

Eating habits of Americans is one that consists of fast food and junk food. Healthy nutritional foods are more expensive and often not readily available to the consumer. Fast paced life styles in our society have made fast food a regular choice of many people. Super Size Me noted that1 in 4 eat a meal at a fast food restaurant every day in America. Peralta writes “…the results of research reveals a dramatic increase in marketed portions sizes over time( ranging from candy bars to restaurant meals) and shed light on the context in which eating take place. (Spake, 2002; Winslow and Landers, 2002).” Advertising the supersized or go bigger meal packages by popular fast food establishments was successful in enticing customers to eat larger portions and therefore increasing the caloric and fat consumption and contributing to obesity.

Stigma

Obesity is considered both physical and behavioral in stigma. Society looks at obesity as a lack of will power, laziness, unintelligent, and other negative connotation. Peralta writes “Obesity itself is looked upon with antipathy because most Americans consider it unsightly and unaestitic.” Thio states “In the United States and other developed countries, obesity is more prevalent among the poor, but in poor countries the well-to-do are more likely to be fat.”

Solution

Education about nutrition is an action that could help society become more aware of the foods consumed and the effects of them. Reaching out to the pockets within the population that are at greater risk such as the economically disadvantaged could assist in slowing the epidemic. This education is not only about fast food and junk food effects on the body but also nutritional affordable alternatives to fast food. Information about healthy choices and substitution related to food and the entire experience around it. If some Americans choose fast food and junk food because of the ease and availability in their busy lifestyles other options can be shared and encouraged. Walking to the restaurant and selecting a healthier item from the menu. Recipes and prepare ahead of item meal ideas for quick preparation at meal time. Even information about the health benefits of slowing down to eat and allowing food to fill your stomach instead compared to consuming a large amount of food in a very short period of time.

….Thio indicated “…the stigma for fatness has spawned a huge industry selling diet books, exercise programs and equipment, diet pills, liposuctions, bariatric surgery…” Providing free or very list cost information about exercise and physical activity could allow more people access to the benefits of a more active lifestyle. This in turn could assist in decreasing the obesity within the population. With fewer people overweight fewer people will creep into obesity.

Control Methods

As a society weight control cannot be pressured. The stigma already exists but it does not offer the force to influence and control the excessive consumption of food and sedentary lifestyles. If the stigma did fewer American would be classified obese. Pressure from the fashion industry does not produce healthy results in many cases. Women see the thin models and may even want to emulate their look but often not through eating healthy and exercising but instead through eating disorders or surgery. There are areas that are controllable by federal and state guidelines and mandates; perhaps more such areas should exist. School lunches have taken a turn for a more nutritional healthy meal package over the last decade. If perhaps nutritional guidelines would be mandated across other areas the population would reap the health benefits and in turn a lifestyle change could also be possible. Even regulating hours of operation of fast food restaurants could help curb the 24/7 availability of fast food and therefore evoking a lifestyle for those choosing to make a quick run through the drive –thru at 10 PM 11 PM and even 2 AM. The pure convenience and availability of fast food could be controlled. Mandatory labeling of foods high in fat or low in nutritional value could contain a warning label to warn of the risks of obesity much like tobacco warns of the threat of cancer.

Summary

Statistics show obesity as an epidemic. There is no one short simple answer to control the obesity in America. In fact many smaller steps need to be taken and perhaps even thinking outside of the box for mandates on labeling would prove beneficial. The impact of obesity effects the population as a whole and therefore can be the concern of every one. Health benefits and insurance costs are just one of the larger impacts obesity has in America. Lifestyles and acceptable norms can change within the culture as obesity levels decrease. Advertising has brain washed some parts of society to believing that meals at a fast food establishment to be a positive choice. The visuals are enticing and sometimes even mouth watering, the children’s meals have popular characters, trinket toys, and appealing packaging and it is faster than preparing food at home. Education, information and awareness are all necessary; the public needs to be made aware of the dangers of fast food and junk food.
