7 Words

The original "seven words" come from the cover of Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food." He encapsulated his thoughts on eating with the following: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

The New York Times Health Blog, Well, ran a contest asking readers to submit their own seven words of wisdom. You can see some of the winning results here.

During Camp, we will also be running a "seven words" contest. The format is 2 words-3 words-2 words. You should email you entries to Joe Lyons at lyonsjsph@gmail.com by 11am on Tuesday. Starting Tuesday afternoon, you will be able to vote here for your favorite.

To get us started, here are our attempts at wisdom (humor) in seven words.

• Comatose brain. Drank Starbucks Coffee. Feeling shaky.
• Moved Twice. Delivered Two Babies. Desired Peace.
• New year. Even more possibilities. Great expectations.
• Time Away. Mental Health Regained. I'm ready!
• Plan once. Assess for understanding. Plan again.
• Make plans. Teach a class. Reality Check.
  
• Hungry Now. Eat Large Pizza. Absolutely Scrumptious.
• Teach content. Ignore the kids. Reevaluate career.
• Really terrible. At word games. Tried anyway.
  

Have fun.
