The world is coming to an end

The average american child spends all of their waking (non-school) hours consuming some form of media. The average american child gets forty percent of their calories from "foods" with no nutritional value.

Wasn't the average american child born to somebody? Like a parent? Would it really be so hard to just say, in the words of Judith Viorst, "No I refuse to. No I don't choose to. No I most certainly don't,"?

In case you were wondering

It's a boy!

I agree

Was thinking about this verse, and how Mireille Guiliano and the Lord may not agree on everything, but they (and I) agree on this:

Doctrine and Covenants 59 18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; 19 Yea, for food and for rainment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.

Don't you?

"I just love Black Bean Burgers more every time you make them."

No kidding.

So, I thought I should share. Special thanks to Mark Bittman in How To Cook Everything Vegetarian.

Black Bean Burgers

1 can black beans

1 onion, quartered

1 egg

1/2 c rolled oats

1 T chili powder (or Italian seasoning, or taco seasoning, or whatever)

Mix in food processor, but don't quite puree. Glop patty-sized portions onto an oiled pan over medium heat. Spread glops into patty-ish shapes and brown each side. Serve as though made from a dead cow (but cheaper and yummier).

Don't be shy, now

Tell us what you really think, Elder Holland.
