There I was, bopping along and listening to my current guilty pleasure, My Chemical Romance (which is somewhat less guilty of a pleasure now that I’ve discovered that despite having hits like “Teenagers” the band members are all actually older than I am), when I came across an article which I can only call The …
So you love eating meat, right? But maybe you don’t love killing animals. Or maybe you’re a fan of the environment (what’s not to love?) and would like to cut down on your use of one of the biggest methane producers on the planet? Well, William Saletan has a modest proposal for you. Not that …
I teach high school students when I’m not acting as a human tissue for my children. And honestly, I’m not sure which of the two groups is more gullible. On one hand my 5-and-under kiddos still believe in Santa but on the other hand even they can spot a fake woman when placed at their …
So not only is our friend, Personal Trainer Andrew, smart, he’s also speedy! I just sent him the questions last night (thanks to those of you that e-mailed them to me!) and he replied promptly this morning. Here you all go! (And you can all thank me later for the picture. No, no, you don’t …
You’re not paranoid if they really are out to get you.

North Carolina area. PS> I’m sure he …

Um, duh. Why is this news, you ask? Because many of us seem to forget this simple fact. In our society, there is a real disconnect between the physical cues for hunger (growling stomach, salivation, heightened sense of smell etc.) and our eating habits (eating past fullness, eating just because it’s there, eating to relieve …
“Hey, what are you doing here?” It was said with genuine surprise as I walked out of my evening kickboxing class. Abby, my anorexic gym friend, was jogging on the treadmill nearest the door. I was surprised because I’d just seen her earlier that same day on the tail-end of a three-hour workout. Her eyes …
Quickie update guys! I got a very interesting e-mail from Dr. Phillips, the lead researcher in the Milk study I cited last week. After reading my post and my question as to whether the results would hold for women as well as “young men”, he wrote to tell me that he has just wrapped a …
