I went for another jog today. My friend and I jogged across the Washington Avenue Bridge and part of campus and Dinkytown. I got a few side-cramps, but I rewarded myself by having some hot cakes at McDonald’s afterward. The weather today was fantastic, it is great to see the sun shining so warmly and I definitely think that jogging was a spectacular way to take advantage of the rise in temperatures.
Speaking of McDonald’s, I finally saw the documentary film Super Size Me today. Warning: if you are queasy or become easily grossed out, this film is not for you. The basic premise of the film is that fast-food (McDonald’s in particular) makes you sick. While I still don’t support the idea of suing a restaurant for eating choices that you make, I do think that the film provides a great perspective on American eating habits and our ideas about health.
