Today’s photo is a montage of shots that I took on the last day of my recent trip to San Francisco. After checking out of my hotel I started looking for a place to eat breakfast but they all had lines outside. Eventually I made my way to a taco shop and then walked stright up Broadway to the top of the city. That’s where I took the top shot and the two staircases. Then I made my way into Chinatown which is where the bottom shot was taken.

Now we got some trouble here.
I may have gotten carried away…
Today’s photo is from a shot I took just out the hotel door on my way to a conference. I actually walked in a circle almost getting hit by a few cars to find the angle for the shot. Once I got back to where I first saw the shot I snapped it and moved on.
As I sat at the conference the idea for the finished picture came to me and evolved a bit as I played around with a few photo editing apps. It ended up being a bit more sinister than I originally envisioned but c’est la vie!
Once again this was shot and edited only on my phone.

Calories in 13" Flour Tortilla.
So I am trying to lose some weight and tracking what I eat with Calorie Count over at about.com. Its not perfect but its pretty good and easy to use. One thing that is nice is it has a lot of restaurant food items in its database. There is a Chipotle near my office so I eat there occasionally as I can see what is going into my food and then enter it into Calorie Count pretty easy.
Well I though that things were going well today with a healthy breakfast and upcoming dinner. After entering all of those Items I saw that I still had about 1000 calories to go for my 2000 calorie daily target. So instead of getting the Bowl I opted for the tortilla thinking I would come in well below the radar. OOOOPSIE!
Turns out the Tortilla at Chipotle is 330 calories with 860 mg of sodium. So my lunch went from 500 calories to 830 and my daily sodium is way over. Goddamit!
The flaw in the report is that it treats American consumers as passive actors who are victims of diminishing supplies, rising costs and government bias against the meat industry. Nowhere does it mention that we’re eating less meat because we want to eat less meat.

Interesting article on American’s trend of eating less meat. I can attest that Kate and I are eating less meat mainly from a weight loss perspective, but the economics are impossible to ignore. Add to it the fact that meat is heavily subsidized and uses up a lot of oil to move around and our house is easily following this trend.
Best of all is that Kate has really jumped on board with things and is making some amazing recipes. Check out these books:
[UPDATE] – Kate has chimed in with the following:
I BEGAN eating less meat mainly from a weight loss perspective.
I CONTINUE to eat less meat due to aforementioned reasons.
