Well, if you want to learn all about the disgusting things we eat every day, watch the movie "Food, Inc." However, I must warn you not to watch it if you don't want to change the types of foods you eat or at least feel guilty and somewhat paranoid while eating them.
Aaron and I watched it a couple months ago and it has completely changed the way I think about not only what I eat, but also what my children eat!
We have many times talked about going more natural and organic. We sometimes buy "out of date" organic foods from the local discount store. We have even grown our own garden for the last couple of years. However, when I fail to plan ahead or we happen to be in town at suppertime, we firmly believe that "when in Rome, [one should] do as the Romans do." Yep, you got it! We eat out at the local organic, "go green" restaurant. HA! I wish! Can you say, "Arby's, Pizza Inn, Golden Corral, IHOP, McDonald's (unless Aaron puts up too much of a fight), Taco Bell, Wendy's, etc...?" I guess you get the point.
Well, food is just food right? Sure you've got your junk food, but what about those salads and wraps and fruit cups and such? They're good for us, right? Hmmm. . . just check out "Food, Inc.", if you think you're ready.
LOL! I've resisted watching that show so far! ;) HEEHEE! I did watch Super Size Me which was pretty gross as well! :P
ReplyDeleteYou asked about my bean bags! :) I plan on using them for math practice - mainly addition and subtraction (I'm making 25 bean bags so we can do alot of problems this way) and for foreign language - like we call out the color of the bean bag or something that is on the fabric in the language we are learning. I also think it would be fun to throw a child the bag when it's their turn to speak/share and only then can they talk etc ;). Of course, there are all sorts of games you can play and I thought even too...I have this big fabric USA map...I could have them throw a bean bag on the correct state etc...thinking of active things for my boys! :)
Blessings!
