So I'll admit - I'm still a bit exhausted from the weekend. I did about 18 hours of dancing on Saturday between the Mad Decent Block Party and going out that evening. Yeah, sure, I slept a lot on Sunday, but after two days of work, I'm definitely not caught up on sleep and boy is my body letting me know.
AKA I'm taking a bit of a break. At least it's not because of frisbee this time right?
Instead, I'll do the usual and present you with a video. Now, I may be a bit behind on sharing this, but I only finally saw it today. As you know, I try to post social political things when I can - at least things that I find important or relevant. And I think the next topic is. Ever since I was younger, around high school, I've tried to eat healthier. Organic when I can, less sugars and sodium, nothing "too" processed. But as we all know, a lot of this country doesn't follow my methods - leaving us to be the world's second most obese country, right behind Mexico. I don't think that's something to be proud of and I know we've made steps to try and combat this, but it only seems to be getting worse. And I think the next video hits the issue right on the head (even though it is a bit contradictory).
Yes - I do think Chipotle is healthier. Do I think it is a proper choice of food? Not always. But it certainly is when compared to hormone fed beef suppliers and other fast food restaurants - so I'll let this slide. Their new commercial addresses what I've mentioned above in a rather clever way - through a narrative story. It's creepy, touching, and at some points a bit disturbing - maybe to the level we need to see to snap out of our current food trance. It's been getting a lot of buzz lately - so hopefully this could be the start of something new. Maybe open the public's eyes. Don't get me wrong either - this isn't just a problem for America, but the world in general.
Regardless - it does make me want a burrito.
