And why do we believe that fast food isn't bad for us?

 

For al those who haven't seen 'Supersize Me' - watch it! Now! Tomorrow!

And if you would try to find an excuse like "this is really extreme eating at Mc Donalds three times a day" - think about it: there are a huge load of people having this food or something similar 3 to 6 times a week! Yuk! And not because it's cheaper, or because they don't have time...

Just ... because - They've all got tricked in it! 

Think about it.

Try to avoid fast food as much as possible. 

One of my favourite quotes of the documentary:

"If I would pass by fast food restaurants with my kids, I would punch them, so they never want to go there..." (and associate it with something bad... which it really is)

Follow your heart

You need not, to climb mountaintops
You need not, to cross the sea
You need not, to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark
and when the wind
does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

when all your friends
have come and gone
the sun no longer shines
the happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide
when all the hard times, outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood

when the day seems lost from the stars
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

If you feel, you paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life,
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake, to find you're abandoned.
and the road you travel, leads to a dead end

when death creeps in, to play it's part.
you must you follow your heart
you must follow your heart

Silence

And then there was … silence. After months of working intensively and afterwards a month traveling… She’s back.

At least – that’s what her environment tells her. Back at home, back at work, back with her family and friends. But for her it’s just like someone else is back. Who she was before, seems lost in space and time. Where is she? How did she live her life before? It’s like she’s not able to get it back.

Give her time. Give her a month. Two months.?

There was the feeling of being loved without restrictions. Passionately she tries to hold on to that beautiful feeling that is evolving more and more into a memory. Grasping. Don’t. Go. Away.

Chaos. Asking herself how did she ever let it become such a chaos? In her room, on her desk, in her head, in her heart. And moreover – how will she handle it? Where can she leave her thoughts, her doubts, her activism, her love, her passion, her hunger for more. There’s just so much you can do in 16 hours. Because her body needs sleep. 8 hours less of the 24 given to her. Add a fulltime job to it with a good 1,5h/day commuting…

Questioning. Like a 4 year old. Why is it that we live in a society based on injustice? Why is it that a whole lot of people put themselves first above everything? How have we evolved to a society that doesn’t care anymore if we kill a fellow human being or destroy planet earth? Why do we all think we can’t do anything about it?

Isn’t it so that if we are part of the problem – and we are – that we are part of the solution?

Choose. Choose who to spend your free time with. Choose what and where to eat. Choose when to clean up the mess. Choose who to love. Choose who to visit. Choose what party to go to. Choose your life direction. Choose who to spend your life with. Choose your career. Choose. It seems that we are spoiled by having so many choices. 

Is it stupid to consider these choices? To actually reflect on our actions? 

And once you’ve chosen – what consequences do your choices have?
