Super Size Me?

Okay, so the movie "Super Size Me" was on TV a few weeks ago -- and I saved it on my TiVo. I just watched it the other night finally -- it was really eye-opening. I don't eat fast food very often, and try to keep my diet full of organic and fresh foods rather than processed.

I have to say I was shocked at the "choices" children get in school. In most of the schools there were no vegetables, no fruit, nothing "live" -- but all processed junk foods. And the lunch ladies said they figured the kids were educated enough to make good choices. There were no healthy choices available!

I will also never ever eat chicken nuggets again. How gross! To show that they were made from misshapen chickens (probably full of hormones), ground up parts that would never be edible elsewhere, and tons of preservatives and chemicals added -- sick! How can we be eating this stuff -- or feeding it to our children?

I was also a bit surprised that it took about 9 months to recover from the one month binge of eating McDonald's food. Wow.

If you haven't seen Super Size Me -- it's well worth the time -- and may change the way you eat forever.

The Testaments - Fireside Available

The new LDS Church movie -- The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd is now available on DVD. There is a fireside that was done by Ane Marie and Tomas Kofod (the man who portrayed the Savior in the film). The fireside entitled "Of One Fold and One Shepherd" contains the powerful conversion stories and experiences that Tomas had behind the scenes of The Testaments. He shares how the Lord tutored him and prepared him to play the role.

A great gift for anyone -- it's available now as a download exclusively through LDS Audio. If you would like to pre-order a CD, you can purchase through Latter-day Light Books. If you have seen The Testaments -- you're going to want to hear this fireside!

Tomas and Ane Marie are very good friends of mine -- and each time I have listened to this fireside, I am touched by the way the Lord is in charge -- and how He has a role for each of us. Both Tomas and Ane Marie have powerful testimonies and you will feel the Spirit as you hear about their conversions to the LDS Church, their experiences and miracles the Lord performed during the making of The Testaments.

My Film Debut - The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd

Hi all -- I just was notified that you can purchase "The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd" through the LDS Catalog. It's only $4.50 for the DVD. Anyway, the reason I tell you about it is because it was my film debut (I was village person #61 in the film). I kind of laugh about it because I'm only in 1 scene but it was really cool to be in it and see the behind the scenes of filmmaking. My very good friend Tomas Kofod played the role of Christ in the film, and his wife, Ane Marie (one of my best friends in this whole wide world!) was also in it as an extra (and she designed some of the costumes as well).

Anyway, it's a great film, the people involved were very nice and hard working. I loved being involved plus it has a powerful message.
