Vegetarian Star

All computer nerds (including us) are forever indebted to Steve Jobs for helping to start the wave of successful personal computers by co-founding Apple Inc.. Without him, we wouldn’t have an encyclopedia of igadgets or those hilarious commercials of PC trying to trap students with a pizza box to prevent them from buying a Mac.

Much ado about nothing took place a few weeks ago, over an obituary mistakenly published when in fact, Jobs was very much alive and well.  There had been internet speculations of his health and some said he was becoming too thin. He had a bout with pancreatic cancer in the past, and was reported to have been reluctant to try traditional treatments, due to his Buddhist and vegetarian beliefs. (Some sources say he calls himself a pescetarian.) He eventually chose to pursue mainstream medicine and was cured of the disease.

But Jobs has made health waves in the past. He’s the former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios and took the helm around the time when Disney chose not to renew it’s agreement with McDonald’s, allowing the fast food giant to put Disney characters as toys in Happy Meals. In a press conference, he was quoted as saying, “”there is value” (in fast-food tie-ins) “but there are also some concerns, as our society becomes more conscious of some of the implications of fast food.”

With the sedentary and junk food lifestyles becoming more common, those at office and computer jobs may be at higher risk of succumbing to them and all the associated health problems.  We think it’s fantastic that the alpha computer iNerd is all about promoting the healthy way of life.
