Juice isn't really healthy. It should be freshly squeezed, if that, or not at all. It looses basically all of its natural nutrients when it's bottled. Further, the fructose (sugar) that remains (even in the "sugar free" varieties) becomes a burden on your liver (like alcohol) and turns into fat when there's too much to be processed. I'll assume you know that; I'm just leaving that note there for others (such as myself just last week) that didn't know that & thought it was healthy.

I agree, 'headlines' or corporate America, preys (profit) upon any undiciplined indivual at every phase of thier life. Wether it be impulse buying, unhealthy eating, education, entertainment, healthcare, etc. The ugly, for profit troll has embeded itself in our lives and also glorified. Being an educated consumer means more now than ever before. Your physical and mental well being is literally and physically at stake. When addressing your personal health and diet, its also important to recognize not only what you consume, but also your eating habbits. Breakfast is called such, because you are breaking fast after sleeping. This is time to consume natural, fresh foods that replenish your physical state such as water, fruit, nuts, juice, veggies. It will set the tone for the rest of your day and life. I saw this really profound graphic back in '19 that may help others with clarity on this front.

My .02 on Bricklink Builds: I built the Sheriff's safe from Bricklink and the experience was about 90% of what I would expect out of a fully "Productionalized" set. I have the Mountain Windmill (That I may be willing to part with, HA HA!), and looking at the images, I'm guessing that it will be a bit of a suspect build process. Also in my backlog are the LEGO store AND Venetian House from Bricklink. *** Caveat *** I think these builds are innovative and would find themselves hard-pressed to fall in line with LEGO's (Not pluralizing LEGO, using the possessive form here) standard annual line-up. And this is the trade-off to the non-optimal building process. Also . . . I have had some building experiences with LEGO official sets which were less than 90%.

Just to clarify 1 thing, upon re-reading this post 1 week later. The Keto diet is legit. It helped thousands of people not only to lose weight but also to live healthier. Moreover, there are tons of anecdotal examples of how symptoms of prolonged illness have been reduced by simply following the Keto protocol. My disgust was directed at the so called news media that tried to discredit the Keto diet when it started to gain momentum. They were literally grasping at any straw to show the danger of high fat low card diet even though it has been used for years to control seizures on people with epilepsy. A couple of years later when the diet companies were ready to release their keto products, the magazines "just happened" to conveniently push it as healthy lifestyle. (And to think I was this close to choosing a Marketing major back in the day ) In any case, if any of you is interested in changing your (unhealthy) diet, first I commend you. Second, please do your own research and do not get swept away by headlines. Most importantly, consult with your doctor who understand your particular and unique situations.

Bought tickets to watch Return of the Jedi on 4/29/23 with my son. The movie is coming back for a limited release in select theaters from 4/28-5/4 for its 40th anniversary. I can't wait!

Definitely building mine when it shows up.

This?
