Pizza: Delicious yet Fattening Treat, or Vegetable?

We've all heard from our parents that pizza may taste yummy, but it's not healthy and we shouldn't eat it that often. However, the U.S. Congress disagrees! Recently, Congress has decided to tell America that pizza is a vegetable and should be served in more schools as a healthier lunch option than French fries.

I don't know about anyone else, but I find this statement absolutely disgusting and I frankly can't believe that America, who was so concerned a year ago with lowering the percentage of childhood obesity, would now claim pizza, a dish made with globs and globs of melted, gooey cheese, tomato sauce, and gallons of oil and grease, a vegetable!

The serving size for a typical cheese pizza is two slices, due to the fact that one slice can have 300-445 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 55 carbs.

Have you ever pressed a napkin to a fresh slice of pizza? If you haven't, try it next time you go out to eat or order in pizza. The amount of grease that soaks through your napkin is horrendous, and the US wants to pass this off as a healthy lunch option?

That's just horrid, America. Have you totally been blindsided by McDonald's? Come on. Remember health class in middle school, and what happens to your body after eating too much pizza? That's sick.

Wake up, America!





is the same as.

Favorite. Sayings. Ever!

1. (British guy) "Toad in a hole, that's horrid!"

2. "Looks at me, I'm square dancing!" (British guy) "And I'm a British guy square dancing!"

Wow.

No one's blogged in forever! Ewok's gone, but I suspect he'll be back this summer.

This was a fun summer, wasn't it, with everybody blogging all the time? I miss that. Come on, guys!!!! Start blogging again!!! I miss y'all!

Jane

I think it was Jane.
Yes, it was Jane.
Jane was the girl 
Who walked away
Left me alone
Broke my heart.
I thought of Jane today.
Wondered, "Why?"
She laughed
And packed
That one
September day.
I think it was Jane.
Yes, her name was Jane. 

Remembering 9/11

Ten years ago today, terrorists attacked America on our home soil for the first time since the attack on Pearl Harbor, in December 1941.

So this is for the victims of terrorism everywhere.

Remember 9/11.

FineArtsChic is a genius. Look what she found on Facebook! Thanks for whoever wrote this!

You were my brother, my friend, my twin.

Everybody mourns you. They miss your laugh, your face, your red hair. They miss your good mood, your cunning... even your pranks.

But nobody misses you like I do.

We had always been "the Weasley twins". We were geniuses, pranksters...

What are we when we're apart?

We are nothing.

I am nothing.

I lost a part of myself, of my mind and my heart.

Mum and Dad haven't smiled in weeks. No one has.

I know it isn't his fault, but I can't help hating him. We went to save him, Harry Potter. You ran to help Percy and in just one minute, your life was lost forever.

I never thought it would end like this. I always believed we would be together until the end, as brothers.

How wrong I was.

Nothing will ever be the same again. George Weasley will never be the same again.

Fred... You're gone.

And I couldn't even say goodbye.
