Kids Again

I loved having our homework assignments on Blogger.  I enjoyed reading other posts and especially like that almost everyone gets to read my work and not just the teacher.  It aids me in my future writing when I receive feedback, ideas, etc.  I found this old poem that was written by me over four years ago.  Then I decided that it should be my final post. However I just want you to know that it’s full to the brim with angst.


Kids Again

The bottle goes fast
And so do our clothes.

Like the clouds block sun
The alcohol numbs my conscious.

Nature defeats nurture.

FOOD: The Cure for Cancer

I'm having the hardest time deciding what I should recommend or push onto the people of Writ 101.  Hence the fact that I’m just now typing it up.  I haven’t been influenced by much more than deadlines and Indian Pale Ale paired with an evening shower. Let us get to the point.

Does anyone know who Max Gerson is?  I’d rather you find out for yourself but he was a 19th century physician who discovered a diet therapy that would cure cancer.  His daughter is still alive and spreading the word about her father’s miracle diet.  There are books that describe his theory in detail and include stories of true cancer survivors (that used his diet).  There are also movies that summarize the advantages of healthy eating.  Two you should see are: “The Beautiful Truth” and “Food Matters.” 

Well I hope someone is interested and will take a couple hours to watch one of those films.  Remember the leading cause for colon and stomach cancer is frozen and processed foods.  Let's cross "Hot Pockets" off of the grocery list, ok?
