Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

The Pink Patch

If someone you know is using the pink patch to lose weight, you might want to look at The Blog that Ate Manhattan (medical blog)for a list of the ingredients and possible side effects. Because it is an herbal product, it hasn't been tested by FDA for safety or efficacy. The advertisers are directing the patch at teens.

A word from Whole Foods

Janeen alerted me to this--Whole Foods website has pod cast/ MP3 audio on a healthy body for you. The February, part 1, was on the role of inflammation, antioxidants, free radicals, etc., "Straight to your Heart."

Take-aways:
    Nourish your heart with healthy eating
    Control inflammation--good fats, antioxidants
    Reduce stress, allergies, excess weight
One of these days I'll have to start podding. But it's OK to listen at the computer.

The New American Plate

I saw this at Medscape.com. Wouldn't it be better to not take as much rather than "leave it behind?" That seems awfully wasteful.
