This morning I got a phone call letting me know that my kitty is quite happy and has become everyone's new favorite pet around the house. I left him down in Miami with a friend of mine because I knew he would be happiest in a place where he could run around outisde without fear of cars or cat fights with neighboors. This makes me happy, but it also makes me realize that I am never going to get my cat back. I can't justify taking him away from kitty paradise and making him live in new england kitty hell just because I miss him sleeping next to me every night. I'm glad he's happy, and I can't wait to visit him.

In other news, I watched Supersize Me again today and it inspired me. I think I may launch a new campaign of communtties against Mcdonalds and a reformation of public school meals. I think I'll kick it all off with a showing of Supersize Me at the local Dorchester library. Hopefully, once people see the damage Mcdonalds and other fast food chains can do they will be interested in helping me with my campaign. I realize going up against McDonalds will be nearly impossible, but if I can at least get people in the community to significantly reduce their McDonalds consumption, thats a good start.
I also want to work on the public school meals in Boston. I've never done anything on this scale, so I don't even know where to start. I looked up the menu for the month of November and although it is not as bad as it could be, it still isn't good. The biggest problem is breakfast, which we all know is the most important meal of the day, especially for a child in school. Typical breakfast options or pancakes with syrup, hot honey buns, french toast sticks, and something called the "Super Donut". In other words, sugar sugar sugar!
The good news is that Boston public schools have banned sodas in school, but as of right now, I have no idea the quality of their juices, or what other food options kids have aside from cafeteria food. I know my high school had cafeteria food but nobody ever ate in the cafeteria, most people bought Mcdonalds or pizza, which was sold right on premises by school employees.
I'm just now starting to form my thoughts and collect data, so we'll see how it works out. Also, I don't have much time to dedicate to this right now. Our primary focus right now is getting people to the polls for the mayorial election this tuesday and then working on a petition to lift the cross-endorsement ban in Mass. So I won't really be able to focus any time on this until after the 21st of this month. And then hopefully I can balance this new project and the bussiness fundraising and the grant writing and the search for computer donations.
Phew. I really do love my new job. Sorry if I have been talking about it too much lately.
