Freaky Fried-day

Get it? Freaky Fried-day? yeah yeah...ok.

So...why is it that when you travel to foreign countries, they think ALL Americans want friend food?! Why?!

Do people not realize that if they are skinny in they're own country, maybe, perhaps it would be a good idea to feed us their food?

So, what's my point? I don't technically have a point. But, on a strange note. For those of you who know me, which I'm assuming is many of the people reading this, I work in a hospital, a big medical center really, "The Best in the West." That's our motto! Kinda cute eh? Cheesy maybe...

Why is it that a major heart transplantation hospital serves fried foods? Not only fried foods, but fried foods, fried in oil containing trans-fats? Uhhh...maybe we're actually trying to get more business by creating more coronaries, though I shoud certainly hope not.

No actually, I'm on this task-force that is designed to improve the health of our employees, and that's a good thing. (no I'm not Martha Stewart). But in a world where the health of our people is declining, and where our children will not live as long as we do, we need to make a change. Eat like the Chinese (except for their little fishies.)...well, actually maybe not, the Chinese eat everything...seriously.

Our guide said..."Chinese people, we eat everything with four legs except the kitchen table, and we eat everything that flies, except for airplanes."

Oh, speaking of eating things that fly...whilest in China, I noticed some locals cooking things that looked like a pigeon over an open flame. It was this little dinky bird, shoved on a stick over coals. How would you feel if someone shoved a stick up your ass and through your brain?! Oh, yeah, and then ate you...

Anyway...good times...good times.

Question of the moment: "Dana, what are trans fats?"

Dana's Discourse: Think oil (no, not the oil our President is fighting a war over...), pumped with hydrogen, becomes hard (looks like butter if you use your imagination).

The catch is...what you see is what you get...so the hard stuff in the silver wrapping, looks like that in your arteries...blockage blockage anyone?!

mmmm, sounds delicious, break me off a piece of that.
