    I know. I have no idea how many adults that I have influenced by showing them the amount of fat is in the typical potato chip by lighting one up in front of them and asking them how many chips their little pudge indulges in on a regular basis.

    Potato chips should be reserved for active people. They're a small amount of carbs (potato) that are just an anchor for fat and excessive sodium.

    As long as the birds don't eat them you can find your way back safely too.

    I skipped to about 50 seconds in - that's where the action started.

    Just need to carry the toaster, a LONG extension cord or just stay at a shelter with electricity.

    Oh, yeah. Need a folk rock singer for ambiance.
