Those whom decided not to like this movie that came out 18 years ago in 1998, because some ordained "Movie Guru" with some self proclaimed power to give a thumbs up or down about what is good and what is bad {short rant over}, might want to revisit this movie, because in 2016, it's a DAMN GOOD movie......and eerily "right on time".

We are being watched and monitored up the "wazoo", to the point where my iPhone seems to somehow anticipate where I'm going on a Saturday, shooting me restaurant suggestion and all that.......kinda spooky.

Both me and Will Smith are official "Enemies of the State" now. Him because his wife Jada, and now he himself, are speaking out on this issue of Diversity in Hollywood.....

Me, (in my own little world) because my blog is now showing up on these "Black-Lists" and "Watch-Lists". From what veteran health bloggers with whom I collaborate are telling me, its to make sure I'm not selling medical advice over the web without a license, and because Big Business is basically paying people to get on the web and discredit anyone attempting to give holistic health advice and natural cures, to keep everyone slaves to their man made medicines and "fake foods".

Geez, I'm on a Government Watchlist, and an "Enemy of the State" just for trying to create a healthier burger............sigh.

Enemy of the "State of American Fast Food"

.....Burgers and Fries

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

....IF I CAN INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM for an announcement....I'm convinced that Burgers and Fries are not inherently bad for you. Think about it for a second....ask yourself why people have been eating meat for thousand of years, like the Inuit Native Americans who were historically cancer free meat eaters, but somehow, the diabetes epidemic, teenage obesity, and such only popped up in the last 30 years? It really simple, commercial mass produced beef from cows not allowed their natural grass fed diet, toxic and fattening recently invented "newfangled" oils, sweeteners, and ingredients in mayo, ketchup, BBQ Sauce, and bread, plus French Fries fried in what is basically poison Canola

OK, enough "egghead" nutrition science (but that's my real reason for being here), now back to the movie........

Mozzarella and Caramelized Peach Caprese Burger (Though mine will be a "Mango Burger") Lamb & Feta Burger with Mint Pesto & Yogurt

Will Smith Speaks out on the "Need for Diversity in Hollywood" Issue ----------->

I was gonna give a "long winded" opinion on this whole subject that is becoming a "firestorm", but Will Smith handles it so eloquently in this interview, it alleviates me from having to get too far into it.

But since I know some readers will press me or an "opinion".......contrary to the current Social Media backlash against Will and Jada, Hollywood does have a lot value to me, in that it is one of the easiest "lenses" to peer inside the nature of the "Controlling Forces" that manifest themselves via Hollywood, or Sports, or at your job when you feel
under-appreciated/rewarded/compensated, or when [some] police don't appreciate you as law abiding, tax paying citizen, whose taxes pay their salary.

Those "Controlling Forces" is a whole other "Food for Thought" article when I feel like getting around to it, but since I manufacture my own reality, I'm not dependent on accolades of any "Societally Run" authority, so the subject bothers me very little......

~stay healthy~
