Are you kidding me? Leafy greens? Sprouts? Berries? Tuna? Ice cream I can understand but how did tomatoes get on the list of “bad foods?” Berries? Please…
According to scientists at the Center for Science in the Public Interest,
“…these foods, all of them regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, [were listed because of] the number of outbreaks associated with them since 1990, and also the number of recorded illnesses.”
Sigh. Maybe someone needs to tell these “scientists” that living is dangerous to your health. In a recent study conducted by The Wisdom Journal, 100 percent of all people expect to die someday …
While I’m left shaking my head, wondering if these clowns are getting public funding, check out these great links:
Don’t get ripped off in the new gold rush. It seems that many gold dealers are paying well below the market rates. Has anyone actually checked out the commission rates all the gold dealers are making? Sheesh man, they’re as bad as payday lenders.
Some surprising Vanguard statistics. Vanguard funds have seen an inflow of $67.6 billion in the last 12 months, mostly because they offer low costs, sober and diversified strategies, and avoided the toxic assets at the root of the financial panic.
Where you dream is as important as what you dream of @ Lifevesting. “Don’t let circumstances frame your dreams, make your dreams frame your circumstances.” This was a beautiful post.
Avoiding conflict with your supervisor @ Cash Money Life. Place high importance on getting along with your boss but don’t get walked over. Patrick gives some very, VERY good advice on power politics in the office in this article.
How much does it cost to raise children? @ Christian PF. Bob asks the question and then gives us 10 tips for reducing those costs. With three kids of my own and two of them teenage girls, I need all the help I can get.
Does a bad economy equal a sad Christmas for the kids? @ Being Frugal. If gifts and presents were what Christmas was all about, maybe. But Christmas is about so much more. A bad economy can mean a more meaningful, memorable Christmas.
Are your collections pulling their weight? @ On Simplicity. I’ve never understood “collections,” particularly those that just sit on a shelf.
How to deal with out of control spending @ Bible Money Matters. This post explains the 5 major types of spending and then gives solid tips on getting things back under control.

I avoid reading articles that tell you which foods to eat or avoid or which exercises to do or avoid to reach “x” results. You can always find another study to completely contradict the one you just read. Stick to the basics, eat good food, get plenty of exercise, and you will be healthier than 90% of the remaining population.
Thanks for the link and compliments.

In an act of total defiance, put some berries on it.
