Evidently some folks have a “beef” with Taco Bell fast food restaurants. There’s a lawsuit that claims there isn’t much beef in Taco Bell burritos and tacos. Taco Bell, responding vigorously, bought ads in tons of newspapers across America this morning, with the headline “Thanks For Suing Us.” Interesting way to get reader’s attention! I…

Yes, it’s true.  There is pasta that has almost no carbohydrates whatsoever.  Which means almost no sugar and very low calories.  It’s actually a vegetable!  Give up?

Hooray! The nation’s largest grocery supermarket chain, Walmart, announced the other day that they will make their in-store food brands healthier. Their canned and processed goods will, in the next five years, have less sugar, fat and salt. Its a big step, and it’s great. But not enough. Walmart’s senior vice president and Michelle Obama…

I wrote last weekend that I’m cutting out carbs, and losing those nagging 20 pounds.  So far so good. Take a look here, and at the comments.  1.5 pounds gone so far.  Safely, slowly.  Easy does it kind of approach. By the grace of God (only) I haven’t been eating any carbs at all, or…
