Can I have some bacon with my heart attack

Oh good wonderful lovely afternoon/evening people out there.  It is amazing what a morning of shopping and swimming and an afternoon of napping can do for the spirit.  When I was a teen I was very much into astrology and it's funny that now I cannot remember if Gemini is a water sign or an air sign.  I want to say air because I remember certain friends of mine teasing me that I was a little "spacey" back then.  But I don't think I am as at home anywhere as in the water.  So funny watching my son at the neighborhood pool jump right into a game with a group of late teens and trying to act so cool.  I didn't even exsist until they left the water then my boy returned to me.  With some members of the household still on vacation it is all quiet on the homefront.  Tonight enjoying a dinner of spaghetti squash with tomatoes and feta cheese.  I was reading yesterday the announcement that burger king is making a BACON SUNDAE are you kidding me.  Let me vent for a moment about the whole weight loss/food/magazine/ industry for a moment before I lose my fire.  It has never been lost on me that Women's World Weekly(one of the cheapest mags out there)sitting at every grocery checkout in creation features a "real" person every week who has lost a substantial amount of weight.  They also feature a "diet" every week. Usually something that involves eating more veggies and fruit and lean protein and less processed food. BUT just past the two or three pages that give you the keys to losing 10 pounds in one week they will have the other featured recipes.  Maybe a ten cheese mac and cheese and a triple chocolate cupcake stuffed with snickers or whatever.  So this summer Burger King began with the smoothies and wraps.  Now it will have the bacon sundae and bbq pork sandwiches and burgers.  Let me state for the record...I LOVE BURGER KING they are the ONLY fast food drive thru place that has a veggie burger that is good.  If you ask them not to smother it in mayonaise it is even somewhat healthy.  But do we really need another food item on the menu that is just obsene.  America wake up and look at our numbers.  Obesity rates,cancer rates,the amount of money we spend as a nation on cholesterol and blood pressure medication alone is staggering and I for one say no way am I playing victim to the corporate marketing net out there. Go to Dennys and look at that menu the fitfare items do scale back a little if you are watching your fat and calories and still eating out with the family but beware any other menu items like the tour of america which really says it all when you have a salad with over 800 calories and actual meat and potato meals exceeding 1000 calories.  We need to wake up to the stupidity.  No I don't think fast food should be banned or outlawed but I do think we need better education for our children about these things.  I grew up at a time when drive thrus were just becoming popular and hitting the drive thru was a real treat not a regular occurance.  Sometimes I just hear these things and go blsdjfosiosdhjsdnf ( thats me shaking my head making nonsense noise by the way).  If my thoughts were a little jumbled it is because as I was typing this weezy decided to have a seat next to me and enjoy two helping of the tuna casserole I made for everyone else while coating it with half a shaker of salt.  Let me just say eiusiisdjfksfjdgkzis
