Random Thoughts

I have random thoughts going through my head ALL the time! Sometimes I vocalize them, and some I keep to myself because they are just that ridiculous. This week my mom is in town visiting and I have been very busy with her, and therefore I haven’t gotten to write a post. So I am taking this opportunity to throw out one of the random thoughts I had last week…….

Who was the first person to figure out what foods to eat, and what foods will kill you???

Ok really…who looked at a banana and knew that if you opened it a yummy fruit was inside. Same with a pineapple?? I mean the outside is so hard and scary…but inside it was the sweetest fruit! Mushrooms? I mean they can kill you, or send you into psychedelic fits? What kind of trial and error system was there?

Ok…random thought over. Don’t worry, I am sure I will have more to share in the future.

    It’s true! I’ve thought about that too. It’s like…..”WHO? WHY? WHAT? WHEN? HOW?”. These are the questions that plague my mind. : )

    What bothers me are the mushroom guinea pigs. Some taste amazing and some will kill you.

    That is so funny because I wonder about that as well. I think you should share more random thoughts with us.

    I mean, the first person who ate the bad fruit/food died. The second person then knew not to eat it.

    In other news: tomorrow on my blog you are getting a blog award.

    Thanks for giving me my very first blog award. :)

    I like your random thoughts! You are so right. So many foods look ugly and taste great or look pretty and taste horrible!

    Oops! My post went too soon! I like that thought. I wonder if it was two men watching each other, one keels over and the other guy is like, ‘mental note.’

    I had to start looking at everything because of my heart. We are only supposed to have 2400 mg of sodium a day. Pretty much any meal you pick up from fast food and even most restaurant entrees are more than half of that. I was looking at the new Campbell’s “Heart Healthy” soups in the store the other night, and they have over 900 mg in just one can!

    I’ve wondered the same things! Who was the first one to grab that lobster out of the ocean and realize that if you open its tail it’ll be really yummy?
