  2. I can feel your pain whayner because I would rather have big cheeseburger than any other veggies. But just like you, the film made me think about my diet. It actually gave me sleepless nights. And I was wondering, are you a veggie-hater because if you are, we should be friends. =)

    Hey Whayner,
    "Maybe, instead of getting their children the latest game console or video game, they should look into getting them different kind of devices, ones that will have persuade them move other part of their bodies, not just their thumb."
    I found this statement humorous and very appealing. You also mentioned drinking sport drinks, this arouses my curiosity that lead me to make a little reseach about Gatorade. I know that nothing can replace water. This is what I foud:


    "Unless You're Active, Sports Drinks May Be a Poor Decision
    Carbohydrates: Sports-drink manufacturers know that carbohydrates provide energy. That said, they also provide calories, and unless you're in the middle of a serious workout, excess calories are simply unnecessaryAn eight-ounce glass of a typical sports drink contains 10-15 grams of carbohydrates, roughly 50 calories. When one considers that he could be drinking water, consuming fifty empty calories is bad idea. So although sports drinks provide energy through carbohydrates, this is really not necessary--and even detrimental--if you are not actually exercising."
    "Electrolytes: The word electrolyte is simply a fancy word for the term salt. Sports drinks provide salts, which are necessary for the sweating process. In the case of sports drinks, the main salt is sodium. The average person consumes far too much sodium in any given day, and sports drinks provide us with even more. An eight-ounce glass of a typical sports drink contains roughly five percent of a person's daily value of sodium. This compares with the two percent from a can of soda, or zero from a glass of water. Electrolytes are beneficial when exercising, but otherwise they are excessive and unnecessary."

    So Whayner, if we are not sure what liquid our children should drink and what is best for them when they are exercising, playing, or just thursty we should give them water-we can't go wrong with this choice.
