Don't stress out. It'll all make sense once you've read the whole article. Those of you who are familiar with this lyric - congratulations!
The big Pharmaceutical Companies, as most of you well know, are pumping pills out like there's no tomorrow. The advertising is so pervasive, invasive and in your face, that it makes us (well, me) want to throw a fit. Doesn't anyone realize that the medical profession today is actually the 'alternative medicine' and that what is known as 'alternative' is really the original medicinal entity?

This shouldn't be 'news' to you as this story was released from the AP in July of 2000.
Heck, 10 years ago, in April of 1997, this story, entitled "An Obesity Virus?" was published.
So, exactly what has our scientific, medical and governmental agencies accomplished to treat this ailment?
Well, obviously not much, as we're still 'talking' about it. Here's an article from August of this year.

Watch the rerun of TLC's "I Eat 33,000 Calories A Day", then the best we can do is offer you a link to a trailer which will give you a partial idea of what the original show was all about.

Let's start with this article which was recently published and based on the fourth annual report by the "Trust For America's Health" (TFAH) which is a "non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to saving lives by protecting the health of every community and working to make disease prevention a national priority."
The article goes on to say, "Adult obesity rates rose in 31 states last year. Twenty-two states experienced an increase for the second year in a row; no states decreased. A new public opinion survey featured in the report finds 85 percent of Americans believe that obesity is an epidemic. Mississippi topped the list with the highest rate of adult obesity in the country for the third year in a row, .....

01/09: From the mouths of babes...
"You're fat, you're fat, you're fat, fat, fat!"
How's that for an opening line!
Years ago, my daughter, Michele, who was around four years old, and I were at a mall doing some shopping. While we were looking for this and that, all of a sudden she said in a very loud and clear voice (you guessed it), "You're fat, you're fat, you're fat, fat, fat!" I looked at her and then looked in the direction of her outburst, and yes, there was a woman walking toward us who was probably the largest woman I'd ever seen. I'm 6'1" and weigh around 190 lbs. and she was easily twice my weight.
As she came nearer, I could tell she was not pleased, and I simply said, "I've always told her to tell the truth, however she has not learned the meaning of decorum," and we walked away. I did not admonish Michele as she, in truth, had simply stated the facts.
Later in the day, we had a discussion, and I said to her, "Perhaps it would be better to use the word "heavy" when you see someone that is quite large." She accepted it with grace and that was the end of that. Unbeknownst to me, that lesson would soon backfire...but that's another story.

21/08: Pesto Extravaganza
Pesto News: while at Fairways the other day (somewhat of a "Farmer's supermarket," if there can be such a thing), I came across a vendor offering taste samples of a new Pesto spread, among others, i.e., olive, sun dried tomato. These products are from Le Grand, a Canadian outfit, and are widely available in the States, apparently. I tried all samples and fell in love with the Four Nuts & Cheese Pesto.
Upon buying the Pesto spread, bringing it home and trying it a few different ways, I just have to share this hot, new product with y'all. It's just heaven! I found the Pesto best when...
