WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by The Murray Blog!

We will talk about everything from the news of the day, to random thoughts.  This is not a one-way conversation…I invite you to give me your thoughts on things I blog about, and things I don’t.  No topic is off limits!

BTW…disagreement is part of the game. But, please keep it clean. This is an all ages show!

Are children losing when it comes to school lunch?
School lunches are designed to provide a nutritional, balanced meal for children. But sometimes children don’t eat the food that is served. Research suggests children tend to gravitate to the high-fat, high-calorie foods (like french fries and cakes) and leave behind the fruits and vegetables. In schools with vending machines, children may opt for the cookies, potato chips and soda rather than the school lunch.

Solution to health crisis: Eat less junk
Remember the posters from the elementary school cafeteria, "You are what you eat"? Well, I think those posters should should be revamped to read "It's not your metabolism, it's your McDonalds"! It is unpopular to bring up weight, but obesity is costing the American system $147 billion dollars a year. We need to put down the junk and jump on the treadmill.

Bottoms up before my bottom goes too far down!
I have gained at least 10 pounds of fat this summer...what happened you ask? Well, I kept my diet clean but I forgot about good ole H20. I have been leaving my water bottle at home, in the car, on my desk, at the gym, at the park, in the yard, inside of the mailbox...you get the picture. So the bottom line is my bottom retains water when I am not consuming enough water. So grab a bottle of water without the additives and extras and chug-a-lug.

Dads and daughters
The new screensaver on my laptop makes me smile every time I look at it. The picture of my husband and our daughter, one of my best friend's husband and their daughter speaks to me and the world. It proves that there are dads who understand that by spending time with their daughters these girls are more likely to become physically and emotionally healthier. Dads can do everything moms can do, but they do it with bigger shoulders for their little girls to sit on.

Fat can be fantastic
There is nothing fishy about this report. You have heard it for years. The essential fatty acids in salmon may contain anti-obesity properties.

Talking and walking through history
Saturday, June 13 at 1pm I will meet Nettie Washington Douglass. If you noticed the "SS" at the end of Douglass, you know your history. She is indeed the great-great-granddaughter of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, 2 of the founding fathers of the African American movements.

I believe gators are better worn than visitors to Channel 2
We have looked and laughed and now I lament ... the gator on the front lawn is getting out of control. At first it was a quick visit, now it is eluding capture. Just as predicted "gators are better worn than become visitors to Channel 2". However, if you find yourself staring a gator and you believe you are threatened, The Department of Natural Resources will dispatch a contracted alligator control agent to remove the animal.
