I voted! Did you?
2008-11-04 08:08:00
It's election day here in the US, and I think I speak for a lot of people around the world when I say - I'm so glad the campaigning is over!Don't let the media deter you with talk about long lines, especially if you're not in an area that typically has a long wait. Despite what even our local media had to say, I literally did not wait in line to vote. I walked right in at 8am - peak time, so they

I don't know if this is true or not, but it made me laugh.___________________________________________The following is a funny and true story shared by KC Williams who teaches AP government at Santa Fe High School. In one of KC's classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. They are pretty simple: The candidate must be a natural born citizen and at least 35

Post: Anorexic "Tips" from the Biggest Loser
2008-10-21 14:17:00
This was the first piece I've read by Charlotte Hilton Andersen, and I want to share it here. I looked at some of her other entries and I can't wait to read them all. According to her bio on the site, "Charlotte runs the popular health and fitness site The Great Fitness Experiment. She was featured on ABC's 20/20 and interviewed on Fox's Morning Show with Mike & Juliette. Her writing can be fo

Update on the Zero Carb & Pregnancy Issue
2008-10-05 07:19:00
Turns out the issue I recently blogged about was more about this guy stunt writing than the implied endorsement of zero carb eating and pregnancy. I really disrespect the tactic chosen. Turns out what he was endorsing was really his buddy's new site, and of course himself.This person has finally pulled in some input from people who actually know what they are talking about. I feel he's using them,

What are the symptoms of Malnutrition?
2008-12-02 11:45:00
I read a blog post this morning about a Kimkins dieter who has been experiencing health problems. (More here, and here, and similar stories on the Kimkins Survivors blog) It really scared me. I thought it sounded like she was displaying serious signs of malnutrition/undernutrition, similar to the symptoms weight loss surgery patients can face. (Kimkins is marketed as an alternative to weight loss


Why is ANY melamine in baby formula acceptable?
2008-11-29 11:49:00
The FDA has set standards for acceptable levels of melamine in baby formula. And guess what? It isn't zero. When it was being found in foreign-made formula, the FDA said there is no safe level. Now that it's been found in 90% of US formula, they have seemingly arbitrarily decided that a little plastic in formula is OK. With no new data.Who is the FDA protecting? Formula makers? The dairy industry?


What's in it for you, Derek?
2008-11-29 07:52:00
Derek, you said you only posted your success story because you're proud of your weight loss, which you achieved by eating basic low carb, ignoring the Kimkins plan details, and not participating at the website. You said you don't endorse or promote Kimkins.Derek, this ad says otherwise. Did you consent to this? Are you getting a cut of the profits? Is it OK with you that the odds are statistically

How are you spending Black Friday?

I hope not like this!From The New York Daily News:A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said. The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m. Additional reports from NY New

Tippy / Jeannie Got $erved
2008-11-19 08:07:00
Tippy Toes posted recently about getting served in the Kimkins counter-suit. The counter-suit is basically targeted at anyone who ever disagreed with Heidi Diaz about anything as far as I can tell. It's ridiculous. As far as I can see, the only thing Heidi will get out of it is the glee at forcing people to pay the $300 filing fee. She won't have the last laugh, though.Tippy didn't do anything to


Let the oil companies bail out the auto industry!
2008-11-18 09:09:00
I have to say that I'm terrified of the big 3 all going under. For sure I blame the companies & unions for getting to where they are, although really who could have predicted that abruptly everyone would just STOP buying cars all at once? I also blame consumers for continuing to pay extortion prices for cars over the years. However, saying 'let 'em eat cake' is going to hurt the economy in so.
