As we sit around, waiting to find out if the United States of America is going to continue being a democracy or if we are going to have to pack up everything and figure out to where we are going to flee, some of us may be feeling just a little bit tense. There are only a few things we can do: Option1) When the time comes, go out and help defeat the authoritarian lunatic who is trying to regain the presidency, either by canvassing, donating money or standing on a street corner shrieking. or Option 2) Find something to binge watch to help temporarily block out how freaked you are.
And in order to successfully participate in Option 2, we are all going to need to stock up on SNACKS. Snacks are one of the most important aids for traversing nerve-wracking times. Yet not nearly enough is known about them. So today let’s take a closer look at a few of the basic and time-tested rules for snacking.
IT’S SNACKTIME
You can tell by the giant clock in your left hand that, depending on when you woke up, it’s time for either a MID-MORNING or MID-AFTERNOON SNACK! Why else would you find yourself sitting at your white kitchen table in a matching outfit with all of the fruit you had in your refrigerator displayed in a long row in front of you?
But lately…whew… why is even snack time starting to feel so stressful? Even after you went back into the refrigerator and, realizing you were in no mood for fruit, took out all the vegetables and surrounded yourself with them.
In the event that you find yourself paralyzed by what the snacking professionals refer to as “Snack Fatigue”, it is time to reacquaint yourself with the classic, time-tested and time-saving RULES of SNACK. Let’s review:
RULE NUMBER TWO: DO NOT SUCCUMB TO ANXIETY
RULE NUMBER 4: CONSIDER THE ‘HAND-FEEL’.
NUMBER FIVE:
NUMBER 6: SNACK YOGA
RULE NUMBER SEVEN: BEWARE OBVIOUS SNACK MISTAKES
RULE NUMBER EIGHT: NO SNACK TOO LARGE.
RULE NUMBER NINE: WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS….
So good luck with your snacking. And also with the continuation and preservation of democracy.
Merrill we are all in dire need of this exact guidance. How am I supposed to choose the leader of the free world if I'm peckish from snack indecision?
Pancakes! The poofy stack was appealing, but only one would be a snack, gotta keep at fighting weight to get out the vote 💙 to keep our Democracy. Thank you for the fun break!
