The Fountain Of Youth
Also, stop dieting (that is, stop mindlessly counting calories). You’re just starving yourself to no good end.
Chicken Flu
This is, as Glenn says, a slow-mo animal-husbandry disaster.
But I wonder to what degree the birds’ immune systems are compromised because they’re on a vegetarian diet (to which they are not suited) because people are stupid?

This would be a shocking development, if so many who opposed the legislation hadn’t predicted it:

Rules For Healthy Eating
I actually tend to follow most of these. I eat mostly at home, unless I’m traveling (and even then I’ll cook, if I have a kitchen), and rarely go out. I shop the outer perimeter of the grocery store (meat and produce), and tend to avoid the inner aisles.

We were promised a $2500 decrease in premiums. We’re getting a 41% increase.
It’s like the whole thing was some sort of scam.
