Impossible Beef = The Devil 👿 It was just too funny to not get a shot of in the store yesterday. Impossible 'ground beef' on sale for only $6.66. Sure I know that it is just a coincidence that it is priced the same as the number of the beast, but still. The stuff is the devil. It is beyond me how anyone can believe that eating a heavily processed, genetically modified, and chemically enhanced food is better than eating something that is naturally grown. Sure there is some trash meat out there, namely the tube burger, but we have spent millennia eating meat. Even the science is showing that artificial meat isn't as good nutritionally, even if the top numbers look about the same. Our bodies process that stuff differently and don't absorb the nutrients the same way. For example, the heme iron found in animal meat is more readily absorbed by the body than the non-heme iron in plant-based alternatives. This can lead to iron deficiencies. Environmentally it isn't that much better than real meat either. Originally they touted this stuff as going to save the planet, but the more they look into it, the carbon footprint of fake meat, looks more and more like that of real meat, and I suspect it is higher. Now I'm just a redneck, but I'll stick with real meat. #nutrition #realmeat #carnivore #nofakemeat #eathealthy #eathealthyfood

The great thing about life is that you didn't have to be who you were yesterday. If you aren't happy with life, or happy with who you are, you can just decide to be someone different. It sounds to easy to be true, but it is. #adviceoftheday #beyourself

Struggling to move your life forward? Here is my secret hack to getting things done, and building momentum in my life. https://madmadviking.com/big-goals-need-little-steps/ #goals #goalsetting #WednesdayMotivation

People need places to live, but it makes me sad when we destroy wildlife habitat to make it. #environmentalawareness

If you really want to do something you will find a way. This is 100% true in my experience. People will do what they really want to do. The problem is that a lot of people want the results without having to do any of the work, so just sit around dreaming, whining, or complaining that someone should hand them the results. #tuesdaymotivation #tuesdaythoughts #motivationalmeme #motivationalquotes

Here is your happy-shiny thought of the day for a Monday. While it isn't always easy after people, especially people you care about and you thought cared about you, have shit on your dreams and goals, you have to use that as fuel for your success. The best revenge is to prove them wrong and be successful. #mondaymotivation #mondaymood

Motivation to go exercise is BS. Sometimes you have to just go do it. #selfimprovement #workingout #running #runningmotivation

Always keep the receipts for what they did, just in case... The reality is they will never forget and be telling stories about you. If you don't keep the evidence, then it is very likely that people will believe them. Of course you can have the receipts these days and still have people not believe you, but that is a different issue.

You will be dead soon... What are you going to do about that? Going to go work more to accumulate more stuff that your kids or relatives have to get rid of after your funeral? Or maybe you should go out and do something and have fun with life. Now if collecting things is what makes your heart sing, go for it. That is different than just amassing 'stuff' for no good reason. Go live your life with intent and do stuff that makes you happy. Stop doing your days to fulfill your obligations. Want to get on the train to living the life you want?

There are times when I really wonder just how prophetic the movie They Live really was. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It is campy and parts don't make sense, but the general idea is feeling a little more plausible every day. And remember - Obey, consume, conform, watch TV, purchase, stay asleep, buy more stuff, and watch advertising... #mindcontrol

No, you shouldn't travel with your children. At least not. If you want to have a good time and relax. Watch the video. #vacation

One week left at my job before I venture off into the void. I might be starting to get nervous. 😆

Some still shots from my hike to the Lake Lenore Caves last weekend. This is a short one and a half mile hike in the Soap Lake area. These caves apparently have been used for the last 5,000 years by natives that came to forage in the area. For me it was a fun side-quest on the drive home. Want to see the full video?
