The word "ON";- American Comprehension Vs. Demonstration of "ON"

Yesterday, I was at the gym near a US Military Base. I had about 45 min to use the Hot Tub, Sauna, and do a 30 min. cardio workout. I was in the hot tub that I turned on for water-jet massage. Within 8 minutes, FOUR other people entered the room. Despite a sign saying Press button once to turn hot tub ON, Press button to Turn hot tub OFF, all four of them failed to check that the hot tub was ON. They all pressed the button, turned to enter the hot tub, then seemed to realize the water-jet sound had Stopped. They then returned to the button on the wall and pressed the button to turn it back on.
Being that they all stopped and restarted the hot tub in a 3 minute span, I concluded that NONE of them actually could demonstrate reasonable cognition that the HOT TUB WAS ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. And, this was across an demographic of diverse backgrounds who could afford to pay dues at a gym.

Then, I think about more complex issues and realize why I am drowning in the USA social environment of Ignorance.

Conversely, there are people in the USA who I have hired (thank you Philadelphia!!!) in the past who were not Immigrants, clearly had little literacy, yet were able to perform a simple task such as setting tables with an array of cutlery, negotiate transportation, as well as more comprehension and demonstration of much more complex functions. These people were not able to afford gym membership to my knowledge, as in the above "ON" incident.

My Vegan Diet -Today 31st March

Today I splurged on carbs (day off protein) after talking to a new nutritionist to me the nutritionist @ the gym I frequent. Her advice was to add poi or sweet potato carbs since I told her I kept crashing on my new water soluble diet after workouts. Today's food rang in @ $28. I shopped at Target and got local Hawaiian poi, almond milk, and bai5 bubbles. Close to average Hawaii price for a day of food with fresh veg's. 

POI IS POWERFUL!

I'm not supposed to eat grains at all (not just processed ones) but, I did eat those memorable Slave mentality based foods today from Panda.

1. 1lb poi (508cal) - ate 1/2 morning 1/2 night ($7)

2. panda bowl mix vegs- with BAD grains of low mein & chow fun-- they say all vegan.($7.80)

-- actually don't trust the eggplant tofu to be vegan here anymore. 

3. 1 gallon Califia Farms almond-coconut milk ($4) with 1 packet of mint Green2o ($2.87)mixed in. -better to dissolve Green in warm H20 1st.

4. 3oz Bai5 blood orange juice ($2) with BioSil drops.

5. 1 12oz iced coffee(3.60), 1tsp raw sugar

6. 2 Tbsp blanched almonds

My energy level is much better despite a more mentally stressful day than normal. This was a complete change from my daily protein diet. And I feel super full. And I didn't crash after eating all of this huge food for me.

Yesterday, I was invited to hear a band play at Hardrock (an ex coworker the singer)- my diet yesterday after the nutritionist chat steered carb wise to 1 rice dream mocha cookie, and a Dirty Martini 3olives & vegetable stack at Hardrock. I had a panda plate I split 2meals breakfast & late lunch with mostly mixed veggies, then eggplant tofu + some chow fun. 1protein shake with my coffee.
