Hey! You know, that's filled with sodium!

So, I should be doing actual school work, but I've only been looking at cooking blogs. Mmmm, food

It's got me thinking...my college diet has been pretty poor lately, what with unhealthy obese men at ShopRite telling me that there's too much sodium in my food. But you know what, that creepy old fat man (New Jersey's State Animal) was right.

Most of the food that I've bought as groceries is so highly processed that its devoid of nutrients and filled with who-knows-what (+ sodium). It's gotten to the point that when I go to the Dining Hall I unconsciously go straight for the salad bar. I think that's my body telling me to eat healthier, which is kind of sad because I'm at the BROWER DINING HALL.

So I've had this realization that I should eat better, wherever I am, unless it proves to be an impossibility. That had me thinking about what I could do about this: which got me back to the cooking blogs, with their oh-so delicious recipes.

Now I'm anxious to get back home, and cook myself a meal (and hope to God it turns out edible). I'm considering foods that will be suitable for dorm life next year: so far, I've got: pastas and rices, soy products, pickled vegetables (need to learn how to do this properly over the summer)...I'm gonna try to cut out instant ramen from my diet, or at the very least reduce consumption.

But yea, cooking. Can't wait. Another reason to waste my monies. :(
