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...

I'm speaking at this health fair, and have a little table. I feel so home-made, ad hoc, seat-o-the-pants with my table presentation. Ever other table is selling a million things and are clearly pros at this. I'm just a guy with info and data and a process for living...
