Trying to Trick Me
It’s important to read labels: Hmmm, a whole section of oatmeal! Unless of course you want plain old fashioned instant oatmeal. In that case, enjoy your grits! In Closing: Crap like this is one of many reasons Congress should read out loud every bill they vote on; I guess the sequester is working =/; [...]
Now see, this is what I was talking about
Just the other day, I was mentioning that a weight loss diet should include avoiding most food that comes out of a box. I did not yet know that this abomination of a product existed. Now, pay special attention to the fact that this “Beef Stroganoff” includes a “creamy cheese sauce” that is “made with [...]
Diet Research? It must be January.
Yes indeed, it’s the first week of the year, and that means millions of Americans are trying to shed between 5 and 500 pounds. Some scientists were even willing to stick their necks out there and say fructose is a culprit in weight gain (a culprit not the culprit). Check the archives and you will find me many [...]
Music Bonus: Apocalypse Someday
Happy Solstice! Since you are reading this, it would appear that the world did not in fact end today. Have some bonus links about Christmas. In Closing: TSA; diet and diabetes; I bet we could create some jobs building and repairing infrastructure (nah, that costs money!); political suicide; don’t confuse us with facts; and how [...]
Music Monday: Happy Hanukkah
Comrade Misfit already posted the Adam Sandler Hanukkah song, so here is something different…. In Closing: staying in shape while traveling; what?; duh; it never was the union’s fault; backfired; surprise, most doctors are bad a math; and 10 things you probably didn’t know about Christmas.
To the Lady in Workout Clothes ahead of me at the Grocery Store
Hey dear, let me tell you why you’re never going to lose that 10 to 20 pounds around your hips and waist and why your hubby is never going to lose the gut unless you change your ways. I’m not going to put all the blame on the expensive whole wheat crap that you think is [...]
Music Monday: Musicology and Modern Popular Music
Free term theme idea: Recurring Thematic Material in the Collected Works of Flo Rida. If one were to listen to his entire discography, how many songs would seem to reference oral sex? Regrettably, there doesn’t seem to be an official music video I could embed. In Closing: a bounty I hope gets paid; waaah, the media [...]
Music Monday: Inspiration, Part 2
Last week I said I had two inspiring videos. This is the other one. It took guts to make this video. But no, don’t go off the antibiotics until the whole run is done, ever, ok? In Closing: gee I wonder why; some negatives??; this could be bad; “How dare researchers publish research that isn’t about [...]
Music Monday: Inspiration, Part 1
When I was first losing weight and trying to get fit, there were two music videos that I found inspiring. This is the positive one: Madonna was 40 years old when this was shot, and a new mom. Ok, I couldn’t afford personal trainers and dietitians, but I could watch what I ate and work [...]
Apparently She Got Religion
Maybe you remember a while back that I ragged on Paula Deen for the hypocrisy of hyping cake on the same magazine cover proclaiming she was going to talk about living with diabetes. Well, that’s still bad. But at least she seems to be getting her own dietary house in order. This week’s People Magazine [...]
