Why "The WaTeRmeLOn"?

Now that we've been introduced, I'd like to explain to you why the blog is called "The WaTeRmeLOn."

You've probably eaten watermelon a lot of times in your life, or at least tasted its sweetness once.

So why the watermelon?
What's so great about it.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

1.Not only do I quench your thirst, I can also quench inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis.
2.Over 1,200 varieties of watermelon are grown worldwide.
3.I am an ideal health food because I don't contain any fat or cholesterol, am high in fiber and vitamins A & C and am a good source of potassium.
4.Pink watermelon is also a source of the potent carotenoid antioxidant,lycopene. These powerful antioxidants travel through the body neutralizing free radicals.
5.I am a vegetable! I am related to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash.
6.Early explorers used watermelons as canteens.
7.We are grown in over 96 countries worldwide.
8.In China and Japan, I am a popular gift to bring a host.
9.In Israel and Egypt, the sweet taste of watermelon is often paired with the salty taste of feta cheese.
10.Every part of me is edible, even the seeds and rinds.

I am actually pretty important and special, you know.



Now the blog owner says:

Did you know all this?
As I thought about this, I realized the "watermelon" is a role model for us all.

It helps us in numerous ways. It cures us. It's ubiquitous. It's healthy. It's pretty. It's special. It's refreshing. It is a gift. It's useful. It's mistaken many times, but its truth is always out there for people who are willing to learn and care. It brings back old childhood memories. It tells stories. It reminds you of that girl/boy you liked when you were young. It reminds you of your mom and dad. It has its bad versions, but that only makes us appreciate the good, sweet, juicy ones even more. It brings friends together. It makes summer more warm. It's a common "fruit" everywhere: you can be strangers, but you'll have watermelon to share. It brings joy, peace, fun, and ideas together-- and ultimately, it unites us all.

It's interesting how I never thought of this before.
But that's what I want this blog to be. I want it to be a place where we can get together, be useful, heal each other, and learn. I want us to take "The Watermelon" as an example, and try to be like it. Whether you accept it or not, we're all connected.

So let's share and have fun-----
Through "The WaTeRmeLOn!"
