Even though snacking has developed a “bad image,” snacks can be an important part of your diet. They can provide energy in the middle of the day or when you exercise. A healthy snack between meals can also decrease your hunger and keep you from overeating at meal time!!
Have a nice day!!!

kuningannasansa asked: i'm a bit confused about fallon's ending. not that it wasn't hilarious when he cried like a little bitch, thinking lucy was gonna kill him. but why, if he later committed suicide anyway, seemingly quite willingly and without any pleading/crying? Did he just not want to be killed by women or something? Because that would be humiliating. Sorry, I know you don't really like him, but you write the best meta of anyone so I'd love to hear your take :)
No need to be sorry! So glad you like my meta. :) I’ve just rewatched those scenes, and I think there’s a few factors at work… One being that Fallon is supremely committed to the idea of himself as superior, as a Spartan, as a warrior. He’s really quite wrong, of course; as I’ve said before, he’s not a warrior at all; but he’s trying to put on a brave front all the same. “Do you think I fear hanging?” he asks the women, even as he’s sniveling and weeping. I’m not really convinced that he didn’t fear hanging, especially considering all the public condemnation and humiliation that comes with it, but the more I think about it, the more I think that you’ve really hit on something here… Hanging, in his mind

is so different from what this horde of women promises.
They’re helots. That’s exactly it. These poor, working-class women, many of them sex workers, are the people of inferior blood that Fallon believes himself so far above. I’ve read that one of the reasons the real ancient Spartans terrorized the helots was because the helots actually greatly outnumbered them, and this one-sided warfare was a means of social control — a manifestation of their fear that the helots would seize the Spartans’ weapons and rise up. This sort of peasant rebellion is exactly the situation Fallon faces, and it is terrifying and unbearable to him. If they decide to kill him, these women will not be HALF as kind as the hangman. They will make him suffer. And it will be the ultimate degradation to be tortured by people he believes it is his right to prey upon, being superior to them by blood.
By the time he meets his ultimate fate… He’s still shaking and afraid, but he’s holding it together. Part of that may simply be resignation to his fate, but I think part has to do with the fantasy that he’s being given a noble death. A warrior’s death, on his own terms, surrounded by his Spartan-blooded brothers, couched in the rituals he so glories in. Dying at his own hand, even at the insistence of his brothers, seems to him far more dignified and painless than at the hands of helots.
Henny Russell (Carol Denning) said she actually “never met Mackenzie Phillips” [Barb Denning] until [She thinks] episode 11" So they sent each other pictures like this. They really brought their characters alive.
