definitely true that environmental factors account for a percentage of cancer causes, but i of course want to lower my chances with that which i have control over. about the only environmental factor i have control over is cigarette smoke by avoiding it. however, it definitely seems odd that cancer cases have dramatically increased over the past couple of decades while at the same time the food we eat has become much more processed and chemically-controlled. is there a correlation between the two? i can’t say, but i would assume so. who knows… unfortunately the real truth will always be hard to find because so many people have interests and investments in everything that they will tell you about anything to make it sound like the truth.

yeah, i tried the vegetarian thing for a few months… couldn’t hack it due to the fact that not all eating establishments support the vegetarian lifestyle. i think a lot of people in this country/world are opposed to change/unnatural aspects of things. people think that the cavemen didn’t eat anything but meat, and that eating grains/plants is unnatural. there will always be a battle over the diet and what is actually good for us and what isn’t.
the thing to remember is that it isn’t just diet that possibly causes cancer… its the things in our environment, such as pollution, that cause cancer. look at other parts of the world with much lower cancer stats and you’ll see the correlations.
there will always be the nay-sayers regarding organic foods. hell, awhile back there was a study done and presented on t.v. that stated that organic foods weren’t any better than the non-organic. can an organic banana really save you from getting cancer? i don’t know, but i’m not gonna pay $5/pound for organic bananas.

wow… the CG, eh? you know that I absolutely regret getting out of the CG now that I’ve been out in the ‘real world’ for several years. There is so much benefit to serving in the military that I think everyone (well, within reason) should serve. You have a broader respect for people, life, your country, and the world in general. Being in the Coast Guard made me a much stronger, well-rounded and travelled, mature, honorable, respectable person with a high set of values and work ethic. I would not trade my 8 years for anything in this world. I got to travel to all sorts of places, meet all sorts of interesting people (many of whom I still keep in contact with), see some fabulous (and not-so-fabulous) places- all at the expense of the govt. I personally would encourage people to see what the CG has to offer… it is the smallest of the 5 branches in the military, is more laid-back, and is a very tight-knit group. Due to the size of the service, you often know people no matter where you get stationed or know of someone who knows someone who is/was there.
I’m not saying you should join the CG. I personally don’t want to thrust my ideas of military service onto people, but I think that for a person who loves to travel and meet new people and have a steady, rewarding career, then the military- at least the Coast Guard- is a great way to move forward. I think the most difficult aspect of the military is the fact that in a sense, the govt owns you… and Nick, you know the things that Bruce & I go through… you make plans for some event, and at the last minute, he has to get underway for some mission (or morale golf tournament )…

Before you make any rash decisions, let’s have a sit-down session first… let me be your recruiter

they go to all those people who only have 1 foot… they get sucked from your dryer through space and into someone else’s sock drawer in the middle of the night
