Tooth Pulled
I had the tooth pulled that I mentioned in this post a while back. Just had my first solid food (over-cooked pasta) in over 24 hours tonight. Now for some Vicodin and an early night. Here’s a video for your enjoyment since I’ve been fairly quiet the past few days: The first in a series [...]
Soy Burger with a Side of Hexane
Wherein I provide a brief overview of the Cornucopia Institute’s report on soybean use in various products.
Eat That Cheese
A very interesting article about lactose intolerance today on Salon.com. Of particular note: Milk itself has a lot of lactose, but aged cheeses have very little (most of the lactose is drawn away in the whey, and what’s left in the curd is fermented by bacteria and mold). Yogurt with live cultures contains bacteria that [...]
Food Policies Designed to Make Us Unhealthy
This is not rocket science, people: The government also purchases surplus foods like cheese, milk, pork, and beef for distribution to food assistance programs—including school lunches. The government is not required to purchase nutritious foods. (Link) If anyone thinks that the Government isn’t already deeply entrenched in what you eat and what foods are available [...]

Because if you don’t, like I didn’t, you will go to the dentist (in the case DentPlus Dental Center because they are open on Saturday’s and I wouldn’t have to take time out [...]
TensionTensionTENSION!!!!!!!!!
Lately I’ve noticed I’m tense. Not occasionally, not sporadically. All the frakin’ time. Like I spend my life in a state of flight or fight response. I have no idea how long I’ve been like this, but this explains a lot about why I never seem to have much energy, why I don’t sleep well, [...]
Hey Mr. Politician With Your Government Backed Health Care
I hear lots of GOP politicians being against government health care systems, but I don’t hear about them giving up their own government controlled and government backed and government run health insurance. I’ll switch my crappy health care for theirs if they really want to see what great and fabulous health care choices most of [...]
