The Life of Jeremy White

Here is the biography of my new friend Jeremy White...

On August 27, 1976 in Sacramento, California, Jeremy White, Nancy and Greg White’s first child, was born. He was the first of four, followed by two brothers and a sister. Nancy was a stay at home mother and really dedicated all of her time to raising the children. She always put others before herself and it was later said that Nancy’s big heart is what makes her Jeremy’s most favorite person on the planet. When Jeremy was a year old his family moved next door to his soon-to-be best friend. Despite Greg and Nancy’s split in 1982, Jeremy lived in this house for the rest of his childhood. His best friend is two years older and as a child he really served as a role model for Jeremy.
As Jeremy grew older he became closer to his best friend and neighbor. Both kids developed a love for music very early on and within a few years of schooling Jeremy learned to play the drums along with his best friend. This passion followed the two all the way through high school where they joined the band at Sacramento High School. Jeremy was not particularly popular but he had plenty of friends and was very confident in who he was. His grades were decent and with such a passion for music Jeremy stayed out of trouble.
After high school Jeremy went to Sacramento State University. Here he majored in music and really became involved in the music industry. His dream in life was to tour with a band that had a record label and after college he had his chance! Jeremy moved to Japan and began playing drums for a band called Two Ball Lou. He had everything he ever wanted and had a great life. Two Ball Lou toured with many famous bands and Jeremy really got to experience what life was like for a rock star. Sadly, after about a year, it became evident that the band was not going to stay together. One member did not have the ability to communicate with others and it tore the rest apart. After returning home Jeremy realized that he wanted to help people.
After experiencing what it was like working with a bad communicator Jeremy decided he wanted to be the exact opposite, a good listener and great helper. After returning to school at San Diego State University and briefly owning his own real estate business Jeremy found his dream job as a financial planner. Jeremy is still working this job today and couldn’t be happier. He loves the freedom of his schedule and that fact that he gets to help people on a daily basis. Jeremy is content with his life path and very excited to see what comes next; as is everyone who comes into contact with this great guy!

"In Defense of Food"

People choose to eat unhealthy products for a variety of reasons. Of course, it seems, that the most "unhealthy" foods taste the best. The lure of flavor often draws people in. Unhealthy foods also tend to be the cheapest and most easily accessible. When the healthy option is more expensive, or will take longer, the issue of what to eat turns into efficiency in eating time. I also believe that since no food is bad enough to immediately kill a human, many people don't think about long term effect, only the short term. The mind set is now that no matter what the health content is in this food, it will satisfy now and may or may not have consequences to deal with later.
I feel like the government should remain fairly hands off in the healthy foods debate. I do believe that the products need to be labeled with ingredients and health content (calories, saturated fat, etc) but education is not necessary. Obviously though, if a chemical is harmful to humans, like a chemical in water bottles, it should be outlawed and taken off the market. I'm not sure how it is around the world, but in America I think the obsession with food and diet has gone beyond safe or healthy. Each person is different so each person needs to eat differently. The government should not be responsible in monitoring this.
