Using the Term “Retard” as Hate Speech
Calling somebody names like “r#tard” is the equivalent to calling somebody the n-word. Name-calling is something vicious and evil. People with mental health problems or other disabilities are not retarded. People with autism don’t deserve that kind of treatment either.

How Much Sugar
In today's society, there is a mass killing going on. It's not done with guns or knives, the weapons of choice are sugars and chemicals. It seems ridiculous to me that sugar has to not only be added to sweet foods but also to savory ones. We don't require added sugar or any sugar being added to foods like bread, baked beans, and canned vegetables. Where will it all end?

Journey to a Healthy Lifestyle
I have decided to start my journey to better health and fitness. I came to a screeching halt once I began experiencing joint stiffness and inflammation at the age of 19. It started out acute and I would only notice it while playing softball; the vibration of the bat would pain me to the point I could not follow through with a swing. I thought I may just have been overworking myself. By the time I was 21 I had quit softball altogether, but I would wake up in the morning and could hardly move my body.

Day 1 of Cleanse
You Are What You Eat In my previous post I mentioned that today I was going to be starting a two to three day cleanse. So yesterday I went to my local grocery store and went to the organic section to see if they had pre made all natural fruit and veggie smoothies. To my surprise they had lots of options and I decided to go with the brand Naked. I first looked at the ingredients to make sure it was truly all natural and it was. I got four different flavors, the Berry Veggie, Mighty Mango, Red Machine, and Berry Blast. Each flavor was very good and I am a picky eater so I'm sure most everyone would like these flavors. The point of me doing this cleanse is to get all of the bad toxins out of my body from processed, unhealthy foods. This will help make your lifestyle change more successful because after you get those bad toxins out of your body you wont crave them as much as you usually would, which will help you stick to your new diet. Eating healthier and working out more will not only change your weight but almost every aspect of your body.A few perks will be, your skin will look better, you will feel more energetic, you will be happier, and you will lessen your chance of getting weight related sicknesses. The statement "you are what you eat" could not be more accurate, if you eat crappy foods you're going to feel crappy.
