I missed my calling.

With being layed off, I am going to have some time on my hands, as I've said before. I have debated what I should do next. Do I sub? Go back to school? Craft all day? Then, as I was on my way to a workshop, listening to the radio, I heard it. 

My calling. 

I am going back to become a Medical Researcher. 

Yes. You read correctly. I knew this was the right choice for me after I heard the latest medical research that had be done where they took 2 groups of people and had group #1 eat a diet in low saturated fat and less than 1/4 lbs. of red meat every 3 days. Group #2 ate an average of 1/4 lbs. of red meat per day. For the study, red meat included beef, pork, bacon, ham, hamburger, hot dogs, liver, pork sausage, steak, and meats in foods such as pizza, stews, and lasagna.

After studying the participants for 11 years, they came up with the following findings:

Those who ate the most red meat had an increased risk of heart disease, up to 50% higher for women, and 27% higher for men, than those in group #1. My response? 

Duh. 

I might just develop a study on trans fat. Let's say group #1 eats little to no trans fat, while group #2 eats vast quantities of trans fat daily. After 10 years, which group will be heavier? Which group will have increased cardiovascular problems? This is going to be tough. They'll have to pay me big $$$. 

Why wasn't I included on the research team for the study on how seeing people drink alcohol on TV makes teenagers more likely to drink? I'd have rocked that study. 

The one where they found that the food you eat can cause bloating and gas? Honestly. I'd have done that one for a few thousand. 

I truly missed my calling. Right now? I am hearing voices calling me for dinner. Thanks for the great responses on the last post. I appreciate all the kind words and thoughts. I am going to play some blog catch up tonight. I have been pretty obsessed with little Stellan the last few days. I think about 3,232 of the hits on her blog are from me. Keep praying!
