What is a Healthy Weight? | Healthmad

Most of us do not know what a healthy weight is anymore. We have steadily grown more obese during the last twenty years. Look at a class of school children in the seventy’s and look at a class of today. It can be shocking. And it isn’t only children. The adults are even more obese. I believe it’s all the junk food on grocery shelves and fast food restaurants. Whatever the reason it’s time for parents to choose healthy food over junk.

Spielberg’s War Horse Receives Two Thumbs Up | Socyberty

Should animals work in movie making? With computer animation and all the technology, is it even necessary? Not every producer is as careful of animals as Steven Spielberg. In his movie "War Horse" fourteen horses were employed to play "Joey" from the time he was a colt on an English farm till he was on the battlefields of World Wat 1. Computer graphics were used in the scenes that were dangerous for the horse, and it’s impossible to tell any difference from the real thing.

Does The Nicotine Patch Work? | Healthmad

Smokers who are concerned about their health and want to end their addiction to cigarettes have spent hundreds of dollars on nicotine patches and gum to make it easier to put cigarettes aside. Now a new study comes along that tells us, it doesn’t work. Those who use these products are no better off than those who quite cold turkey. And worse yet the appointed panel who approved the nicotine patches were paid by the product manufacture.

Average Citizens Versus Powerful Lobbyists | Socyberty

How can the average citizen get the attention of a Representative when lobbyists are at their beck and call with expensive meals and all the extra perks our lawmakers have come to expect? The answer is, they can’t. That’s why special interest groups flourish while the average small business person flounders. Would it change anything if limits were put on lobbyists gifts, or as some people think, would it only cause our Representatives to hide the loot?

Should Lobbyists Gifts to Elected Officials be Banned? | Quazen

Should lobbyists gifts to elected officials be banned? That’s the question voters are asking. These elected officials are so used to being wined and dined, sent on free vacations, golf junkets and who knows how many other freebies that they accept it as their due. Would you call it bribery? I do. Lobbyists wouldn’t give all these gifts if they didn’t receive value in kind. Let’s put a stop to bribery.

Well, now we do, and there is a lot we can do about it.There are many foods and herbs that will lower cholesterol. If your cholesterol is higher than you like, try these foods listed below. y

Nutritious Food for School Children | Gomestic

Parents and grandparents who have eaten lunch with their school students know just how bad school lunches are. The food is almost inedible and that’s why most of it ends up in the trash can. Parents have fought for years to bring in nutritious food, fruits, vegetables, less fat and salt but to no avail until now. Now the Obama administration has listened and acted. Even parents who didn’t vote for the president should be thankful. This action will mean less disease and obesity in school children. It will also keep them healthier into adulthood. Thank you President Obama.
