Soft Isn't Necessarily Better

We took the soft foam mattress off our bed. We had bought it about 3 years ago at Costco. The latest thing for a blissful nights sleep. Cost us over $100 and it did feel like lying on a cloud. It was suppose to contour around your body and support every point. Our mattress was a great pillow top type mattress and now it was really tall and soft. What we have found is soft is not always better, because over the last year it seems having a soft mattress makes for more aches and pains. So after spending 3 nights on a hotel bed and one night sleeping over at our son's place we found that...well we ached less. So we took off the foam mattress and I have been sleeping like a rock!



On another note...I was reading the internet news and came across this...absolutely yuck!!! Another reason soft isn't necessarily better....

"This is mechanically separated chicken. Chickens are turned into this goop so we can create delicious chicken nuggets and juicy chicken patties. It's obscenely gross and borderline alien but it's not going to stop me from eating nuggets. They're too good.

The process works a little something like this:

There's more: because it's crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color."
