Killer at Large:Sometimes the enemy is within

We just watched this on instant view Netflix. Very good information, although I could’ve done without the mullah, rabbi and the evangelical viewpoints - they added nothing, but managed to muddy the discussion. I recommend watching if for no other reason than to get a kick out of Chef Ann Cooper - the renegade lunch lady. She rocks.

This film gives another needed clarion call to fix a political system that is failing us - having been given over to corporate interests.

Bill Maher Interviews Michael Pollan about film, Food Inc.

Michael Pollan is one of today’s sharpest commentators answering the questions we should all be asking about where our food comes from, and the real price we’re paying for it in terms of our health and the health of the planet. I’m really looking forward to Food, Inc., in which Eric Schlosser ( Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) both star.

A more serious discussion with Michael Pollan appeared last year on Bill Moyers Journal.

HBO is kindly blocking all these videos …. hmmmm. So please go searching and let me know if you can find one that hasn’t been blocked.

Thanks, Early … but that one has been blocked, too.

Why you won't loose weight this year

Well, you’d think we all knew this right? Not.

I even find myself swearing at the scale like I had absolutely no control over the results. Ha! It’s always time for a reality check - or as I call it, a ‘mental wedgie’.
