Ever since I was a little tyke, I have been eating a whole apple, pretty much every day. Yes, WHOLE apple- from stem to stern, core (and pits included). Yes, my parents did not approve. (Oh, this was only one of many items that I provided them for their disapproval.)

Pumping?
I read the New York Times (and the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the LA Times) ever day. This past weekend, I read a posting from Dr. Courtney Jung that pushed my buttons.

I admit it. I watch a lot of television. Mostly around 1 am, 2 am, 3 am, when I am winding down for the day. And, the shows I watch don’t demand a lot of mental acuity, which is why I watch them then.
‘Twas the day after Christmas….
With the cuts among the labor pool, we all feel overworked and under the gun. Because the “lean” organizational structure that companies have been adopting (which really means overworking most of their operational staff)- with the concomitant resistance to augment the pay scales- means that the remaining staff are always in a rush. So, when it’s lunch or snack time, we grab for pop, candy, and other junk food. Or, maybe a few of those “nutrition bars” along with our pop- when we only have 10 minutes for our lunch breaks at work.

Well, it IS happening. Big pharma is agreeing to withhold antibiotics from agribusinesses. To be honest, I am pretty surprised. Because, as I wrote some time ago, I thought the FDA’s voluntary request would fall on deaf ears. But, it seems that there will be fewer antibiotics fed to animals. (Notice, I did NOT say NONE.)
