Here we go again! Being attractive and healthy isn't good enough. Even Kim Kardashian requires slimming down, cellulite blurring, and lightening of her skin color. The point of this is what? Darn if I know, other than to perpetuate unattainable standards for 'beauty'. This bastardization of images of women plays into why we fall for predators hawking scams like dangerous crash diets and ineffective/dangerous supplements. We deserve better than this!
There's a new blog in town and I can tell already it's going to be good! It's by Tom Naughton, of the movie Fat Head. His first post is about a topic that drives me bananas - unscientific crap studies that by design prove crappy hypothes. It's called Create Your Very Own Biased Study. He's got a great sense of humor and he also does programming. Both good things.
He's also got some great links, includiung these recommended reading suggestions:
Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease

Sweetie, your manners need work. In case you have forgotten what your mama and your kindergarten teacher taught you, there's a nice little tutorial here.
