Trans fat = bad fat?

Legislations has been passed requiring food companies to label their foods with the trans fat content in their foods because trans fat can increase the risks of getting heart disease. I found a website that I thought was pretty good and well informed about trans fats http://thetruthabouttransfat.com/.

The food item I chose is Nature Valley's Sweet & Salty Nut Granola Bars: Peanut. There are 14 natural and only 7 non-natural ingredients. I am concerned about eating healthy foods, but I don't always make the greatest choices with what I eat. I know I should be more concerned about what goes into my body, but at this time in my life, I don't really have the money or the time to worry about it unfortunately.

How do you know you're alive?

To me, being alive means being capable of functioning. I can see, touch, smell, taste and hear and I am capable of interacting with others who do these same things. The scientific definition of living is surviving and adapting to changes. I believe this definition of being alive is a great one. For example, my cat, that I've had for about a year and a half, sort of adopted my boyfriend and I. She is, what I like to say, a cat burglar. She literally broke into the house and has been here ever since. I would imagine that she broke into the house to survive, which she's doing quite well. This example would support the definition from scientists that living is surviving and adapting to changes. What do you guys think? Do you think living is merely breathing?

About me!

So I'm taking this class because I not only have to take it, but it seems fun. I'm currently taking 1o units, soon to be 14, hopefully, if I get an add code for one of the classes I need.

Some interesting facts about me:
I have a boyfriend of 7yrs (8yrs in May).
My favorite color is Green.
My favorite book is Choke by Chuck Palanuik.
I'm a hippie-tree-hugger.

My two suggestions for posting comments is no foul language and correct people when they make mistakes (might make you mad at the time, but hopefully it will save you from making more mistakes).
