Ok, so Joe wanted to go home. I understand that they miss their families. At least Jeremy has his head on straight and tried to talk him out of it
Did you know that there are 41,000 chinese restaraunts in the Us? That’s more than McDonald’s, Wendys and Burger King combined? WOW! I had no clue.
Ok, so here we go with a temptation.
Everything looked so good. I can’t imagine being in the room seeing and smelling that food.
Do you feel that an obese person is like an alcoholic? Do you think that they can never eat high calorie foods again or will fall right back into that whole way of eating? Do you think that they only need worry while losing the weight and then should be able to cheat on occasion without too much concern? Or do you think it was ok to eat to win the temptation?
I was surprised that no one on the red team seemed to be tempted
Good thinking on the black team’s part. A 30 calorie fortune cookie wouldn’t do a lot of damage and yet would have a chance of giving them control over the face-off and the 2 pound advantage
Cassandra seemed really happy about winning and she sure didn’t waste any time in picking out who would face off against whom.
Black (weight loss- %) lbs lost vs Red =who won & their weight loss
Emily ( 14lbs-5.30 %) and Roy (19 lbs-6.21%)
Jeremy ( lbs-5.14 %) and Lauren ( lbs-5.28 %)
Joe ( lbs- 6.44 %) and Nancy ( lbs-4.61 %)= Nancy with just 2 lbs
Chism ( lbs-5.54 %) and Kim ( 16 lbs-6.35 %)
Mark ( 17 lbs-5.84 %) and Chris ( lbs- 5.83 %)
Megan ( lbs-4.25 %) and Buddy ( 31 lbs-7.69 %)
Gayle ( lbs-4.35 %) and Kimmy ( lbs- 5.94 %)
Cassandra ( lbs- %)
What do you think of Joe leaving like that? He did leave his team in the lurch and make it that much harder for his team to win the weigh-in.
Yes, he misses his family but is his going home now going to cost them extra years that they might have had?
And when you think about how much the aqua team wants to be there and we have had 2 people leave voluntarily already in week 3?
That’s crazy!
How funny: Bob saying “I knew I’d get that old woman to cuss”
Well, that’s all I have time for today. I wasn’t sure that I would even post what with my Uncle dying but I decided to at least post some. I will try to finish it on Saturday so that we will be all caught up for next week’s Biggest Loser-K?
In the meantime here is something gross.
Take a look:
Click the pic for more info but basically this is processed chicken which is the entire chicken- including the eyeballs which is used in nuggets and processed chicken patties, etc. I am so sick to my stomach over this- EEEEWWWW! YUCK!
Now, from my research it DOES say that they have been doing this sinch the late 1960′s which means that we have probably all ate it and didn’t even know it.
It can be found in things like chicken nuggest, processed chicken patties, hot dogs, bologna, salami, etc.
I also know that we probably all know in that eating these things isn’t healthy anyway but when you are on a low income sometimes they are about the only meat you can afford to eat.
My son and I had just eaten hot dogs days before I read this article and saw this pic. Last night we had hot dogs again- because they are cheap. BUT, I couldn’t eat the same brand I ate the last time we had hot dogs- even though they were on sale for $1 for a package. We ended up getting some that were a manager’s discount for $2 because they were beef. Beef is not processed in this way in the US due to mad cow disease.
I do not know how each individual country processes their meat so if this interests you (or disgusts you) you may want to look into that. I know that we have visitors from all over the world (thank you so much for that
we REALLY appreciate it!) and I would LOVE to be able to tell you all how the meat is processed in YOUR country. BUT, with my Uncle dying and time constraints I just cannot do so at this time.
I AM however trying to find time (hopefully this week yet) to see about getting a petition going to change this process. I do not see why they cannot remove the heads and the internals before processing the meat this way so that we are not getting the disgusting parts in there that some of us (Me included) cannot stomach the idea of eating- even if we already HAVE and just didn’t know it.
I know it may sound silly to some of you that I cannot eat the exact same thing that I ate just a week or two ago but the idea that there are ground up eyeballs and guts (including the bowel) in that meat is just something I can’t stomach.
I am hoping that many of you would be willing to sign a petition to get this policy changed.
I think that having people to clean the chickens before processing would save not having to use unneccessary chemicals that could be causing health issues for many of us and must be costing them money. Use that money to pay people to clean the chickens= healthier meat and more jobs.
They can always use the parts removed for animal feed like they have done for years. The animals won’t know the difference and they eat these parts when they hunt anyway. Also, the price of cat and dog food has risen dramatically in recent years. I wonder how much of this is because of people insisting that the anials get ‘choice’ cuts of meat. My belief is that this has caused the price of not only dog and cat food to rise but our food as well. Only so many animals can be grown in a given year and yet it needs to feed us all. And why shoud WE as humans be forced to eat these parts, if we don’t want to, simply because we cannot afford anything better?
I know that some of you will disagree with me. That’s ok. You can still come here and enjoy My Biggest Loser Blog. As you can see from past posts I very rarely rant about anything other than the Biggest Loser on here. So if you don’t agree about my views on the meat processin you can skip over it and get to what you really want to read. I most likely will only post if and when I get the petition done and a possible update here and there.
As for Biggest Loser? I cannot wait for tonight’s show. It comes on in just over an hour so I am heading home so I will not miss even a teensy weensy second of it like we did a couple of weeks ago due to there being a bad storm. We missed 20 minutes of it-UGH!!! The HORROR!
I am finally recovering though due to the fact that I was finally able to see what we had missed -ahhhhh! The relief!
)
Enjoy Biggest Loser tonight and I will be talking with you soon.
Hug your loved ones as you never know just how much time you have left with them
