Exercise doesn’t have to kill you. This is part of a new awareness in our culture of health — and it’s terrific. If you love to be athletic and grunt and sweat and no-pain-no-gain your exercise routines, then bless you. But that is by no means the norm. You...

A new book entitled “Fragments” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; $30) collects assorted letters, poems and back-of-the-envelope scribblings that span the time from Monroe’s first marriage in 1943 to her death in 1962.  Not known as a “foodie”, a recipe for either chicken or turkey stuffing was found scrawled — haphazardly —...

Great article about the upcoming T-Day and Turkey!! I would like to add to this, that brining the turkey the day before is a great idea to pump up the flavor and to help keep it moist. Osmosis rules!!Read the Article at HuffingtonPost...

Check out this video report on fast food chains. The authors of this story seem shocked that the fast food stores they visited did not PUSH healthy food choices on them. This is kind of silly. The restaurant is not going to work against themselves, they want to serve...

Great article showing that McDonalds Happy Meals do not decay. Like those plastic Barbie Burgers, these things are INERT to living organisms. Listen. Bacteria won’t even eat their food. Isn’t that clue number 1 that YOU shouldn’t eat it either?? Look, there is nothing at all wrong with eating...

Using this gel, Attiva, to control eating behavior is pathetic. This is nothing more than treating the symptoms of bad behaviors. In this article, you asked whether this “Might this be the answer to our ever-increasing problem with obesity?” Of course not, and for the same reason that surgical...

I agree completely. The toy is tyranny. Just like any other “free gift with purchase” is an awful act — how do you think Sadam Hussein got his minions to do his bidding? He said, “but wait, there’s more. You also get Ginsu knives and a bamboo steamer. Remember,...

The dietary guidelines started in 1980, when we weren’t nearly as obese, heart diseased, and diabetic as we are now. Has it helped?  Linda Van Horn, the Chair of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and editor of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association insists on the Guidelines’ relevance by stating...

It’s Olive Oil … no kidding. This is according to a study conducted by researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, and published in the journal Carcinogenesis.This research suggested that you could take up to 10 teaspoons of EVOO every day. 10 tsps is absurd, and no sane person on Earth...
