Southern Chopper

I saw the new Southern Chopper on the Discovery Channel and I like it. The shop is in Virginia, I love Virginia. Everytime I go to the mountains there it just feels like home to me, it's so comfortable. I don't know if I could handle the winter though.

The head metal fabricator, Wolfy, is very talented. I wish I could could learn from a guy like that.

The Food We Eat

Film records effects of eating only McDonald's for a month, and it ain't pretty.

Neither Spurlock, 33, nor the three doctors who agreed to monitor his health during the experiment were prepared for the degree of ruin it would wreak on his body. Within days, he was vomiting up his burgers and battling with headaches and depression. And his sex drive vanished.

When Spurlock had finished, his liver, overwhelmed by saturated fats, had virtually turned to pate. "The liver test was the most shocking thing," said Dr Daryl Isaacs, who joined the team to watch over him. "It became very, very abnormal."

Spurlock put on nearly 12kg over the period and his cholesterol level leapt from a respectable 165 to 230. He told the New York Post: "I got desperately ill. My face was splotchy and I had this huge gut, which I've never had in my life ... It was amazing - and really frightening." And his girlfriend, a vegan chef? "She was completely disgusted by me," he said.

I wonder about all the other foods we eat - most everything we eat these days is virtually man made. We take food from nature, rip it apart, and put it back together in forms previously unknown and probably unfit to eat. Add synthetic vitamins, hormones, chemicals - and we wonder why we're so sick and overweight. Just go to the doctor and get another prescription, drugs can solve anything.

Your Head Will Not Explode

I like this 30 min. recorded program which talks about the Sabbath, the Ten Commandments and whether they are binding on us today. Very well done (no religious mumbo jumbo) and worth listening to. He talks a little about the founding documents of the U.S., those who wrote them and what they intended. Should be required listening, just to get you thinking. There is nothing wrong with knowing why you believe what you do.

When did Christians start keeping Sunday?
