Modern Technology

Wouldn't life be grand if EVERYTHING was at our finger tips? Well most of it is... HOWEVER, I just spent many minutes trying to send my blog from my phone. We are expecting a hurricane to come through and I did not want to miss my deadline of having sent my blog through. While through the years we have done leaps and bounds with creating technology to make life easier... what it really has done was made us even lazier than we were before the technology was created. We used to have to get up and change the channel on the tv. Now there is a remote for the remote!! If that doesn't give a new meaning to the phrase "Couch Potato".. I don't know what does. People use to take long walks and jogs around the park. Now we have stationary bikes. While that IS exercise, it takes away from the Stop and Smell the Roses type of day.

Its going on three years that I have not used the microwave. So my daughter says "how will we heat up the food?" O_o  <thats my blank stare stupid look that I gave her.> I said "well, you put the food on a small plate and put it in the toaster oven." New concept to her. Toaster Oven. Microwaves are food killers. They send electromagnetic waves through  your food, thus killing it. If your food came from a can, its already dead, and the microwave killed it even further. I mean really though.. how much more can  you kill food? Lots more. So let's take this scenario that I have told my students: The farmer sprays his crops with pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. The cow, happily grazing in the field, eats the grass sprayed with all the chemicals. Now the cow not only has THOSE chemicals in her, she also has some hormones in her too because she was a little under weight. Now you take the cow home, which is now known as beef and you cook it. The leftovers are wrapped up and put in the frig for safe keeping. The next day for lunch, you want some of that beef and decide to nuke it in the microwave. Hmmmm now how many times did you just kill that cow? All in all from the beef you just ate, you have in YOU the pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, the hormones AND electromagnetic waves. Bon apetite!!

Scientific studies have shown that microwaves change the molecular structure of food and drinks... so why are you still using your microwave? Just something to think about.

As always, feel free to leave comments and feedback. See you tomorrow.
