What Happens to a 5-Year-Old Girl who’s Already Consumed 1460 Sodas in her Short Life?

What Happens to a 5-Year-Old Girl who’s Already Consumed 1460 Sodas in her Short Life?

Posted by | Dec 29, 2016 | ,

A mere 20 years ago no one would have thought about letting a toddler have access to soda pop. Let alone REGULAR access. But, because the ingredients that make up the “Standard American Diet” are easily accessible to everyone- and because they are so cheap- we are now dealing with an epidemic of diabetes. Even among the young. According to diabetes.org: In 2012, 29.1 million Americans, or 9.3% of the population, had diabetes. Of the 29.1 million, 21.0 million were diagnosed, and 8.1 million were undiagnosed. The percentage of Americans age 65 and older remains high, at 25.9%, or 11.8...

Debbie Reynolds, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 50s and 60s, died on Wednesday- just one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed away.

At this point, that’s really the only concrete information we have, although rumor suggests she died after having had a stroke. Todd Fisher told CNN: “My mother passed away a short time ago. She spoke to me this morning and said she missed Carrie.” (One of...

The Fake News Scare is itself, Fake News

Posted by | Dec 28, 2016 | , ,

If any of you are worried about all this fake news nonsense, stop. Don’t worry about it and don’t believe a word of it. The only way this should get our attention would be if we redefined fake news as the process of intentionally producing false stories for rhetorical reasons. And quite frankly, if we did, most of the advertising industry would be guilty. (You don’t NEED that new iPhone.) When you think about it, every product placement, talk show interview, and Victoria Secret add is guilty. In fact, the media has always done an amazing job of stringing little...

Posted by | Dec 28, 2016 | ,
