Are we ever going to learn?

I can`t believe this is 2009 and recently on the early morning show on CBS the anchors in promoting 2 upcoming features said one was "good for you" drinks like noni juice etc. and followed this up with "lets go to the really good things " while showing a table full of cakes done in all kinds of shapes e.g.footballs, helmets etc. then they started to drool about them and how delicious they were going to be.
What message are they sending?
Is this 2009 when we know about what too much sugar does for us ?
Move over to my workplace and the sports club at the hotel is having a 'nyammin' fundraiser and what's on the menu? Huge white flour dumplings big like mi head, ackee and saltfish swimming in oil(remember it's not the ackee that affects you it's the saltfish - it's cured) and why put ackee in oil when it has enough of its own?
Then mackarel run-down another cured fish and corned pork! (mackarel out of the barrel is not to be confused with tin mackarel done in brine that we use at home and coconut milk done from scratch at home is not to be confused with the powdered coconut milk that comes in the packet).
They made tons of money. I bet you if that had been a healthy 'nyammin' no one would have come much less buy anything yet everybody complains of suffering from one thing or another, all who don`t have 'pressure' have diabetes !!
I GIVE UP, I REALLY DO!
But NO, I have to soldier on as if one person gets the lesson I would have achieved something......
On a more pleasant note did you see the hug between Michelle Obama and the Queen? Could anything be cuter?
There is a video of the Queen and Barbara Bush in Washington years ago greeting some poor people in their homes and one lady (black) held the Queen and hugged her...she didn`t die then and she loved it now! MUST BE A BLACK PEOPLE THING!
Well I have already told you that this man , Barack Obama, is a spiritual implant. His wife made the Queen not only touch but hug, the same Queen whose son said he had major problems growing up because hugging his mother was a no no... well if this transformation doesn`t make you feel good, nothing else will.

Pat, it is indeed amazing that, in this century, we are more educated and aware yet do the most asinine things to ourselves!

Keep informing us girl..love these posts!
