I had a very...interesting morning to say the least.
Heres how it went:
I woke up. went to dunkin donuts. drove to school. went on a field trip to a meat farm with my butchery class. witnessed screaming pigs being slaughtered, decapitated, gutted, limbs chopped off, hairs burned off, hung on hooks, then cut up into pieces. went back to school. did homework. bought a banana and yogurt. started this very blog post.
All before 9 a.m.
......yea.....
Interesting doesn't even cover the first three hours of my day.
The only thing I'm going to say about my trip to the farm is:
I didn't enjoy seeing pigs being slaughtered...but.. I believe it is very important to know where our food comes from, what exactly it is we're eating, and how our food is prepared.
The trip was very educational - and I believe everyone who eats meat should visit a farm like the one I went to at least once. We should never be in the dark about how our food gets from farm to table.
Educate yourself.
Let us begin...

(1)PREGNANT TEENS LEARN HEALTHY COOKING
“Teens are often known for eating junk food and sweets, which may give them short boosts of energy, but does not give them the nutrition they need.
When those teens are pregnant, nursing or feeding young children, it is even more important for them to eat balanced meals and be healthy role models for their kids, say teachers at Crossroads High School, a small school for pregnant teens and young mothers.
The tots attend preschool on the campus, while their moms take regular high school courses in adjacent classrooms.
Teachers at Crossroads are working with wellness advocate Cindy Gershen to help students understand the importance of healthy lifestyles so they can pass on good habits to their children. Gershen founded the Wellness City Challenge, a nonprofit working to bring healthier foods to schools.
Teachers contacted Gershen, who owns the Sunrise Bistro in Walnut Creek, because they wanted a caterer for their health and wellness fair next month who would provide nutritious foods they have been teaching the girls about, said teacher Kathy Dadasovich. Gershen agreed on one condition: that she be allowed to come to the school in March for an "eat and learn" lesson to teach the girls about the foods she would provide at the wellness fair.”
(2) WHITE HOUSE ADVISER SPILLS SECRET: OBAMA LOVES PIE
"Presidents have had their indulgences — Ronald Reagan loved jellybeans and Bill Clinton binged at McDonald's. What's President Barack Obama's weak spot? Pie.
Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, told Jay Leno Friday that the president was forced to "separate" from the White House pastry chef to break his bad eating habits. "One of the things that happened when he came to the White House is they have a very great pastry chef. It became a big problem," Axelrod confided on "The Tonight Show." The president, he said, "has a weakness for pie."
ADS & BRAND EXPERIENCES THAT DEMAND CONSUMER ATTENTION
"The game of marketing has changed fundamentally. Taking out uninspiring, run-of-the-mill print and TV ads doesn’t fly any more. Marketing a brand effectively requires exceptional ideas and concepts that are entertaining and unusual enough to capture the imaginations of today’s cynical, ad-wary consumers. Our advice is to go beyond the traditional media to capture your audience in other platforms as well – offline brand experiences that DEMAND consumer attention.
Brave, new, exciting, entertaining offline experiences are talked about, blogged about and spread through social media. This is viral marketing at its best and most effective. If the idea is good, nothing can stop its spread. We spend all of our waking hours evaluating and creating such ideas. We see more innovation and ideas and concepts each day than we ever thought possible and the ideas we’ve created have achieved incredible attention. We have access to a global roster of creative talent of all disciplines whom we can tap for our projects. Our new ACCESS AGENCY website will launch in June. In the meanwhile, if you want us to help your brand to create such experiences, please get in touch. "
