Well, here I am, at 7:30am, sitting in my seat waiting for English Comp to start. But is anyone here?? No, there is no one here and there was nothing on the door saying that class was cancelled, like last week. I really, really hate that, I get up at 6:30, drive myself to school, go up to class and then wham! No class! I drove ALL the way there, exhausted, and then there’s no class. And now it’s 1:29 and class is supposed to start at 7:30 and still no one! OMFG, people just showed up!!! Finally!
So for my next thing. Did you know that Slim Fast has Partially Hydrogenated Soybean oil? Which is really stupid because Hydrogenated oil makes fat cells that are harder to get rid of and if your body makes any type of cells from it they have a smaller life span. It’s been linked to Alzheimer's and a couple different types of Cancer.
To me, that’s really, really scary. I never realized how many foods I ate that had trans fats. And the FDA lets all these companies get away with not putting the amount of trans fat. They put 0grams Trans Fat, but that’s not how Trans Fat is measured. It’s measured by milligrams!
I find it frightening that the FDA lets companies get away with this! Pepperidge Farm’s Cookies, Ritz Crackers (not the crisps), Keebler, Ruffles/Lays Con Queso dips, Cheetoes!!, Twix, Snickers, Starbursts, Skittles, most types of donuts (I’ve only found that Entemann’s plain, powdered or cinnamon). I was horrified when I realized how many of these things I let my kids eat.
Over the last month of so, I’ve cut out all the foods I can that have Trans fats, which is very hard mind you. But so far so good! I even have Cyan telling people “I can’t have that because it has Hydrogenated Oils, and they’re bad for our brains." Okay that’s it for now, I’m so exhausted right now, and class started finally.
