National Pastime..

It's time we have a chat.....it's something that needs to be addressed, confessed and well, acknowledged. Possibly you think our National Pastime is football. Nope. Baseball. Negative. It's SNACKING. Okay so now you're shaking your head trying to say I'm wrong. STOP IT!! You snack....you know you do. Yes, yes you do! America snacks. What's your poison? Mine is salty, savory,....popcorn, pretzels, chips, sinful. I'm not ashamed; I will not lie; I snack. Even more to the point I Saturday/Sunday' afternoon snack.......I wonder maybe if weekend snacks count less....after all you're not wasting your employer's time by snacking rather than working. So I think it stands to reason that you should be rewarded by fewer repercussions from snacking if you do it on Saturday or Sunday....unless of course you work those days.......then people, you're on your own. Don't count on fewer damages. The Snack Food industry in the good ole U S of A is huge. Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's bigger than the carrot, cabbage and celery industry combined. My mom always said that what you eat standing up has no calories...and she was a small woman. Maybe she was right...but here's the thing, I'm too lazy on the weekends to STAND UP to snack. Nope...I do my snacking on the couch, book in hand, chores ignored and happily munching and crunching and feeling no compulsion to move. Possibly a brief wisp of a thought slips through my mind of working on the Elliptical later....AS IF that thought would help these hips. I might think of starting a group meeting for Snackers......no, no, no....not to help quit...but to exchange favorite snacks. Much like a book club, we could all bring our snacks, STAND UP, and chat while we chew. Nice idea.......not only would the standing up process help, so would the use of calories moving our jaws while we chat. Indeed!! Who wants to join?
