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?
ER Visits
This would be a shocking development, if so many who opposed the legislation hadn’t predicted it:
A poll of over 2,000 emergency room doctors shows that visits to ERs have increased, and in precisely the population that ObamaCare advocates claimed they would decrease and reduce costs.
You don’t say.
An All-Beef Diet
Here’s a family that would drive the FDA and food nazis nuts. They’d probably call Child Protective Services. But the kids look pretty healthy to me.
Obesity
A cardiologist says that it’s not caused by lack of exercise, it’s caused by sugar and carbs.
I think the comparison with the tobacco industry is apt, but I disagree that it should be regulated. We just need to educate.
Treating Alzheimer’s
Faster, please.
Dean Ornish
First, Nina Teichholz, and now Scientific American dismantles the quack.
[Early-afternoon update]
Should we eat meat? Thoughts from (of all people) Bill Gates.
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.
ObamaCare Costs
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.
Middle Age
I hope so. I certainly don’t feel old.
