In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.

generative modeling for Rhino
yes, it`s a negative pressure, respectively the vector points inwards the volume you want to evacuate.
I think you have to deal with two options:
1) your structure have a bending stiffness (for instance a steel box) and is strong enough to resist.
than you will see only bending deformations which lead not to a form finding process.
2) your structure have only axial stiffness (spring forces, for instance a textile) and the pressure you put onto it results in compression forces in the structure. this is not possible for textiles (they can hold tension only). It´s only possible for perfect arches or spheres out of materials which can take compression (stone, bricks, concrete..).
in kangaroo it`s very difficult to build compression only structures without (at least a little) bending-stiffness. this is because there are stability-problems respectively buckling of the structure.
hope this helps a little
thank you very much pb!
i have to use the textile material. So if I understand correctly I can not simulate the textile, right?
so, i have to set a negative pressur on the blue line (the textile)
i'm going to try!
thank you very much

NEW YORK -- Attorneys for former State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno have filed a motion in U.S. District Court to dismiss the charges against him. The motion was filed on Thursday. It claims Federal prosecutors missed the deadline for filing a new indictment. Bruno's attorneys also challenge what they say is an effort to broaden the charges from the initial indictment with bribery and kickback allegations. Bruno pleaded not guilty to two charges of honest services fraud in May. His 2009 conviction was tossed out on appeal, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the section of statute dealing with disclosure was unconstitutional. The prosecution has a month to respond to the motion. Bruno's retrial is expected to begin this coming February.

A jury returned Friday for its fourth day of deliberations in the case of a man charged with killing his pregnant wife.
Seth Techel pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and nonconsensual termination of a human pregnancy in the May death of his wife, Lisa Techel.
Seth Techel said he found Lisa shot in their bed after hearing a gunshot while he was taking a shower.
Jury deliberations started late Monday afternoon and continued all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The jury returned to work at 9 a.m. on Friday, but by 11 a.m. they were returning to the courtroom without a verdict.
Judge Daniel Wilson asked the jury foreperson, "Do you think that continued deliberations would lead to unanimous verdict of this jury?"
"No sir," the foreperson answered. "Your honor, at this time I would move for a mistrial. The jury is deadlocked."
Notes from the jury to the judge on Wednesday and Thursday said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
"You did the best you could. Sometimes cases end up this way that is not a reflection of any of you or your work. You are now discharged," said Wilson.
The judge has granted a mistrial.

The borough's Community Education Council is proposing the city hire up to 500 retired officers to serve as plainclothes security guards, carrying concealed weapons and rotating among the city's schools.
In a letter posted online, the education council's president says its proposals are not about putting guns in schools, but about safety.
He says schools should have security cameras and buzz-in systems, but says retried police officers could play a role in protecting children and staff.
The city currently has school safety agents assigned to schools. They are active members of the NYPD, but they are unarmed.
The council only has the power to make recommendations.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Department of Education have indicated they are not interested.
Meantime, New York's two U.S. senators are making their own push in the effort to combat gun violence.
Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are pushing for legislation to crack down on gun trafficking.
They also want to strengthen background checks.
The lawmakers have sent their plan to the presidential task force considering gun control measures.
"The federal government has an obligation to act and prevent tomorrow's senseless deaths by ensuring that guns stay out of the hand of criminals and those who are dangerously ill," Gillibrand said.
"Eighty-five to 90 percent of all guns that are used in crimes come from out of state. And they don't just come in randomly. They come from states with lax guns laws where just about anybody can buy a gun from another private citizen," Schumer said.
The bills would impose tougher penalties on gun runners and give the Attorney General's Office powers to regulate gun dealers.

Who are "The Box Men", in fact?... - 8:30 AM, March 31, 2006
I heard that the box men are a consortium of artists devoted to stockpiling water, and sometimes they take action that are harmful to the environment. If they keep seeing more beautiful photos like these, maybe they'll reconsider!

How to Calculate Housekeeping Times
For most of us, the impressions we leave on this earth come in the form of either the families we raise or the careers we fashion. Hank Thomas has done just fine on both fronts. He's a father of two and grandfather of five, and he's been a successful restaurant and hotel franchisee. But none of that will be front and center when discussing his lasting legacy.
That's because Thomas was one of the original "Freedom Riders," and his willingness to walk through fire—somewhat literally—in the fight to integrate American society changed our country. As president of Victoria Hospitality, Thomas owns and operates four Marriott hotels (two Fairfield Inns, two TownePlace Suites), but the front doors of those fine establishments are hardly the most important doors he's had a hand in opening.
"Coming of age in the 1960s in college, I was like a lot of students both North and South, black and white, in that the issue of human rights was front of mind for all of us," Thomas recalls. In 1960, he was arrested for the first of 22 times for picketing outside a Maryland movie theater that wouldn't admit blacks. The following year, a group called the Congress of Racial Equality issued a call for volunteers to participate in the first Freedom Ride, in which a group of 13 people—seven blacks, six whites—would sit together on a southbound bus leaving from Washington, D.C. Thomas became the youngest of those original 13.
The tales Thomas is left to tell are equal parts inspiring and harrowing. In South Carolina, he was forced at gunpoint by a police officer to give himself over to a lynch mob, then outran that mob for several minutes until a passing car came to his rescue. In Alabama, Thomas and his fellow Freedom Riders were trapped inside a stopped bus with a lit grenade. Their survival was miraculous, made possible by the heat from the burning bus keeping the surrounding mob at a distance while the riders battled the smoke inhalation and busted out.
Thomas' ride ended after that incident, but more than 400 additional activists became Freedom Riders in the summer of '61, and as a result, the Interstate Commerce Commission soon began enforcing the laws of non-discrimination that so many Southern states had been ignoring.
"That was America some 50 years ago," Thomas says. "Obviously, I thought back on all of that the night of President Obama's first election. It is a source of tremendous pride for me to say I played a small part in the monumental changing of this country, and to witness where we are now, I do get a sense of smug satisfaction."
Having successfully fought for his rights, Thomas soon took part in another fight, serving as a medic in the Vietnam War and earning a Purple Heart. He then went into the Laundromat business, and after that became a McDonald's franchisee. Nothing says "smug satisfaction" quite like a man who was once refused service at a McDonald's going on to own seven of them. "In 1966 in Atlanta," Thomas recalls, "a McDonald's restaurant refused to hire me as a part-time cashier. In 1987, I bought that McDonald's restaurant."
The same determination that guided Thomas through racial boundaries in the '60s carried over to a career in which his ambition never waned. In 1999, after several decades in the restaurant business, Thomas branched out by opening a Marriott in Macon, Ga., then followed with three additional hotels. Still battling racial stereotyping to this day—one of his favorite stories is of being taken for a waiter at a dinner where he was accepting an award from Marriott—Thomas just keeps rolling along, overcoming any perceived slight with patience, persistence, and calm.
Thomas feels his wealth of experience in life and in the food industry has served him well on the hotel side of things. "Whether you're a McDonald's franchisee or a Marriott franchisee, you're talking about hospitality, giving great service," he says. "All the hotel franchises with high-recognition names sell a similar product. The difference is going to be the level of service that you provide and that your guests have come to expect."
One key to Thomas' profitability is that old cliché, "location, location, location." Two of his hotels are in military towns where the hotel market is not oversaturated. "Location was so important for me," he says. "If you have a greater supply than the market demands, you're not going to be particularly happy with your results."
That Thomas is around today to share his pearls of wisdom and business strategies is a minor miracle, given the risks he took on in his days as a teenage civil rights activist. In the hospitality business, the risks are obviously less profound, but Thomas has thrived by calculating them effectively. And so he rides on, some 50 years after his ride that re-shaped a nation.

this was the birth of the types of oppressive cults that you seem to despise, as i do also.
though i do not see how this hate for greg kasarik and his beliefs or his progressive non-oppressive agenda is warranted.
the fundamental idea in which the community of infinite colour is based on, is not of an oppressive nature, it is the opposite, it dictates that we should be free to believe what we want, and to do what we want, and NOT follow someone's ideas blindly, to not be a mindless sheep, basically the exact opposite of the opinion that YOU ARE TRYING TO FORCE ONTO OTHER PEOPLE.
do you see the irony here?
greg is actually trying to do something good here, he's trying to make medicines that all of us here love, legal for you and for me to use, why would you be against this?
i cbf looking through all of your posts related to this subject, so i apologise for misquoting, but i remember you saying something along the lines of "people can use these drugs whenever they want, they do not need greg." well yes that is true to a degree, some people can use these substances when ever they want, with all the risks involved with the law and society, with the fear of persecution they can use these substances.
why would you be against someone who is trying to benefit you?
why are you using your fear to force an opinion onto many other people?
why are you trying to turn this community against greg?
from previous posts i've read of yours, i've gotten a good impression, i've liked and respected what you've said, but this to me is baseless and ridiculous, and you can accuse me of being a mindless sheep, but simply put you'd be wrong, i wont deny i'm an ignorant person, because really who isn't ignorant in this world? i do actually think for myself and form my own opinions though, and every single day i try to become a little bit less ignorant.
to compare this thread and your actions pertaining to this subject, to society, i think of people like alan jones, when i watch media watch, and listen to montages of him calling people dopes and dills and that stupid bitch and that idiot blah blah blah, his subjective language and his narrow-minded agenda serve to only fuel the fire of oppression, ignorance and prejudice, there are many many people like him, and the majority of them seem to be right wing conservatives, particularly in australia and america, i am not so familiar with other countries media and politics. these people promote the religions that you and i despise.
when someone wishes to change the status quo, they get ostracised and persecuted, because people are afraid of change, even if this change is urgently needed.
i feel this is exactly what you are doing to greg.
but if entheogens teach us anything, it's to be more open minded and less driven by fear, so many people will not be affected by your subjective words here in this great community.
thanks for your time.

On a side note, why does this issue effect you so much Bretloth?
Posted 30 December 2011 - 06:04 PM
I like that one best Regardless of your dislike for Gregs ideas I think spreading hate like this is more likely to prevent humans moving forward to a peaceful place. Im curious like eatfoo why this makes you so angry. Lots of people have ideas, if you dont like them wouldnt it be better to just accept them for what they are and spread some love around?

Ps; This is satire, if it offends you then good. Only sheep have need of shepherds, lead yourself.
This doesn't offend me, but to be honest your rant has dropped you a few rungs in my ladder of cool. I sort of feel sorry for you after reading this thread, cos you've clearly taken this personally. Nothing wrong with expressing your opinions in the original thread, but starting a whole new thread to basically turn people against another member of our community is piss poor form, man.
There are always going to be differences of opinion, but we don't need such divisiveness. Stay cool, Bretloth.
Posted 31 December 2011 - 01:48 PM
hmm whats that? i smell inflated ego with a hint of jerk?
i would definately pay more attention and show more interest in gregs theorys and ideas than your bill hicks wanabee rhetoric.
i think gre has a good heart, who genuinely cares about people and the myriad of life around him. anyone who cares that much for animals is a-ok with me:)
its assholes like you who get their jollies out of kicking someone in the nuts (metophorically speaking only- i hope) that give me the willies.
i dont believe that greg would let someones spiteful tripe deter him one bit from his positive outlook, and ur shite has been well wasted, aside from revealing YOUR true colours to this community.

Bretloth, maybe you should spend some time with greg and find out what he's all about rather than pushing your hate. You'll find he is harmless and genuine. That's up to you though. However, whats not up to you is hounding a member. This thread is way out of line firstly because it is a thread specifically about a member, secondly because you are simply spreading the same hate message as in the on-topic thread. And you seem to have no disregard for any damage you cause to others in your pursuit of greg. Greg can look after himself [the discussion here is good practice for him in what he will face elsewhere], but I can see this degenerating on many other levels. I reckon take a deep breath and take a break from the topic or a break will be assigned to you.

Berloth,... you are forgetting where you got all your ideas that forged your mind to where it is today. We are all sheep in that respect. We are all in some way a product of the ones who have been there before us.
We live in turbulent times and need cheezy people to remind us of the important things.
It is very hard to keep your mind from going astray in these turbulent times. To come up with the discipline to stay focused is so hard that people seek refuge (in monastaries/books/religions/other spiritual practices)
Even knowledge has to be passed down as a torch.
I am not saying that there aren't people that do not have the need for guidance because they are free. You and I can be sure that those free people have had to endure and epic (spiritual) battle to master that freedom.
A remarkable thing about these turbulent times is that knowledge seems to be only one click away.
Posted 05 January 2012 - 02:39 PM
One of the things that I like about this community is that it is made up of intelligent people who are going to make their own minds up. They will read what both of us have to say and decide accordingly. I am not entirely convinced that your preferred communication style and message are as effective you might hope.
Torsten's support, as someone who knows me personally, is appreciated but it is perhaps a reflection of something more indicative. While it might be that I have only posted a few times here, I have been involved in the Entheogenic Community for a few years and have been a regular presenter at EGA since 2006, when I was invited to speak by one of the founding members. While not everyone in EGA agrees with my points of view, I would suggest that those who know me personally would find your aspersions quite absurd.
It is ironic that you didn't bother coming into the Cannabis reform rally, after you had encouraged me to do so. If you had you could have met me in person and gotten a feel for who I am and what I represent. But it isn't too late. You are welcome to come out to Warburton for a day, so that we can sit down and discuss the issues about which you are so concerned. PM me if you'd like to take me up on the offer.

Six international apparel companies have sent an open letter to the President of Peru supporting a repeal of three articles of a decades-old law allowing employers in the garment and textile export sector to hire workers on consecutive short-term employment contracts, thereby denying them job security, seniority rights and other benefits, access to health and pension coverage, and their right to organize and bargain collectively.
Leading U.S. apparel brands are urging the Guatemalan government to resolve the long-pending DR-CAFTA labour complaint filed by six Guatemalan unions and the AFL-CIO four years ago.
At least 28 more Bangladeshi garment workers have died and dozens more were injured after a fire broke out December 14, at a factory 16 miles from the capital Dhaka. Several workers appeared to have suffocated, while others jumped to their deaths trying to escape the burning building or were trampled by their colleagues as they rushed towards the exits.
As the clock ticks down to the Beijing Olympics, international sportswear companies are amassing huge profits and arranging multi-million dollar sponsorship deals with the Games, Olympic athletes and national teams.
Meanwhile, workers producing their goods are still living in poverty. In a new report, "Clearing the Hurdles: Steps to improving working conditions in the global sportswear industry", Play Fair 2008 calls upon brands, manufacturers, and multi-stakeholder initiatives to overcome four major hurdles to make real, measurable progress on wages and working conditions in the global sportswear industry.

Lanvin S/S 13
For a designer known for sumptuous confections dripping in color and embellishment, Alber Elbaz's latest collection for Lanvin seemed slightly more restrained. His S/S 13 runway collection kicked off with a parade of sleek head-to-toe noir ensembles which, upon closer inspection, were actually quite ornate. Provocative cuts, high-shine textures, and artful draping, combined with heavy jeweled collars and neckpieces, gave each look the signature touch. And true to form, there were still shots of color at the end of the show, thanks to color-blocked frocks in acid yellow, deep purple, and emerald.

The backstories of most famous pirates are filled with ruthless deeds and dangerous raids. Inspired by their own kids' love for all things pirate-related, two mothers founded Urban Pirates. The swashbuckling crew whisks families on one-hour voyages around the Baltimore Inner Harbor in the 52-foot ship Fearless, regaling them with maritime songs, games, and activities. But the passengers aren't mere spectators—they become real members of the crew, donning pirate costumes complete with drawn tattoos and facial hair and manning water cannons to help protect the ship when it's stormed by rival pirates.
The charismatic buccaneers can also personalize their charters, whether by distributing eye patches and other goodies to birthday-party guests, hosting on-the-water weddings, or guiding corporate groups through team-building exercises, such as teaching a parrot to say "profits are up!" On evening adult cruises, they even encourage patrons to bring their own grog from home. And, though the Fearless stays moored for the winter, the crew hardly abandons their mission to spark young imaginations. Rather than take to the sea, they visit Baltimore libraries and put on free pirate-themed story events that also incorporate games and songs.

The bodies of 12 passengers on board the Russian passenger jet that crashed into the side of a volcano in Indonesia have been found, officials with Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency confirmed.
"Today we reached the crash site... and we found 12 victims and they were all dead. I still don't know the condition of the bodies, but we haven't been able to evacuate them. The bodies are still in body bags," said the head of the agency.
At least 45 people remain missing. Rescuers continued searching the side of Mount Salak on Friday, but bad weather was hampering the operation.
The wreckage of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 was found Thursday more than 5,000 feet up the side Mount Salak. It appears the aircraft flew straight into a wall of rock. The cause of the crash remains unclear. "An investigation must be done immediately and thoroughly," President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told reporters.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 took off from the Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in Jakarta Wednesday afternoon for its second demonstration flight. It disappeared from radar screens as it traveled near Bogor about 21 minutes into the flight. Authorities say the majority of the 45 passengers were Indonesians. At least eight Russians, two Italians, one American and one French citizen were on board.
The Superjet's demonstration flights in Indonesia were part of an Asian tour. The aircraft demonstrated in Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan before Indonesia. It was set to wrap up the tour in Laos and Vietnam. Sukhoi is a Russian company that is known for manufacturing military aircraft. The Superjet 100 is the company's first commercial aircraft.

HAZARD —The office of constable in Kentucky has outlived its usefulness, according to a report released last week from the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.
A research committee with the Department of Criminal Justice Training was charged with determining the effectiveness of the office following a series of criminal charges filed against constables and deputy constables in Kentucky. After six months of studying, the committee found that they believed the office is out of date and no longer relevant to law enforcement in the commonwealth.
J. Michael Brown, the Justice and Public Safety secretary in Kentucky, stated in a release about the Department of Criminal Justice Training's findings that the office of constable can be and has been on many occasions a liability to the counties. A recent high profile incident in Jefferson County brought this issue to the forefront.
In late 2011, a constable in Jefferson County fired shots at a fleeing woman after questioning her about allegedly shoplifting. This case kicked off a series of questions as to just what the role of the constable is in similar situations, since in most cases they have no law enforcement background.
While the office of constable has been around for over 200 years in the United States, with modern, trained, and certified law enforcement in every county of Kentucky, they no longer serve the same function that they once did. Constables are not required to undergo any training or education in law enforcement. The only requirements to run for this office are to be at least 24 years old and a resident of their district for at least two years.
Constables are elected office holders like sheriffs, and for the most part have the same powers. While a sheriff does not need to have any training, all of their full-time deputies do, unlike deputy constables.
One person that believes that the office of constable is still relevant and also necessary is Clayton Church, the constable in Perry County's third magisterial district. Church said that when he is off of work at his day job at Engle-Bowling Funeral Home, he keeps to a strict schedule of patrolling the streets within his district.
The office of constable is not governed by any other agencies in the state. This means that they do not have any set tasks and do not have to be in compliance with any regulations.
"We don't have any boss. We are our own boss," said Church. "We wouldn't have to do anything if we didn't want to."
While Church said he has never had to arrest anyone, some constables choose to have a highly active role in law enforcement in their counties by making arrests and acting full time as an officer of the law. One way that they can do this is through serving papers, which they are allowed to charge a fee for.
"You can serve papers if you want to get out here and serve papers," said Church. "I don't have time to leave the funeral home work to go do that. If you want to go to school, you can get where you can clock radar."
One thing that Church said that he does do as constable is run checks for warrants of people acting suspiciously that he sees while out patrolling his district. This requires an originating agency identification number, which he obtained through passing a test with the Kentucky State Police. "That gives me the right to run any tags," said Church.
The office of constable is not a paid position. Cars, guns, radios, light bars are all paid for by the constable. Constables are, however, reimbursed for gas used in the execution of the job.
So while the position is not a great expense to the state or the counties, it can be a great liability since often constables do not have the proper training, and many times, proper equipment to safely and adequately handle normal law enforcement tasks, according to the study by the Department of Criminal Justice Training.
According the DOCJT Commissioner John Bizzak, while many of these officials wish to provide public services, the office has become more of a neighborhood watch or hobby than a needed position.
"While constables undeniably wish to perform a public service, the fact remains that for many of them the role is a part-time position with no certified requirements, no certified standards and no training," said Bizzack. "What we have today is a position that has been called a hobby. And as a hobby, the office shouldn't have the same law enforcement authority as trained, certified professional officers."
Church said that if this is the argument against the position of constable, than this argument should also be made about special deputies of the sheriff's office. Special deputies, or volunteer deputies, are also not required to be trained and can serve papers and make arrests. The difference is that they are allowed to use sheriff's office vehicles and are given guns, equipment, and radios.
The office of constable is a constitutional office, yet despite this many have called for the office to be abolished. Church said that while a few people not taking the position seriously have tarnished the image, the office is still important and can be useful to the citizens of a county.
Church said that he hopes the push to eliminate the office will die down or that they will take a closer look at all of the untrained law enforcement positions in the state and treat them all equally.

Keith performed Friday night in front of thousands at the San Manuel Amphitheater.
Before he performed, the AC/DC song "You Shook Me All Night Long" played.
Afterward, a video showed Keith driving in a truck on a desert highway where he soon discovers a bar and the concert starts.
His songs included 2009's "American Ride," from the album of the same name, which he opened the show with to loud cheers.
Besides the music, a video screen which displayed multiple images and pictures added to the show.
Next came 2011's "Made in America" from the album "Clancy's Tavern" and 2008's "God Love Her" off the album "That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy."
He also performed "I Like Girls Who Drink Beer," which was being filmed for a music video.
At times, Keith's vocal performance sounded muffled but it was tough to tell if it was microphone issues or his voice.
Keith's opener was Brantley Gilbert who performed songs such as "My Kind of Party" from his 2009 album "Modern Day Prodigal Son" and his such as "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" from 2011's "Halfway to Heaven."
Gilbert occasionally garbled his lyrics but the audience enjoyed it nonetheless.
At one point during Gilbert's set, a fan in the audience gave him a confederate flag which he displayed to the crowd with a grin before handing it back. (as relevant:)

Four week ago I discussed generic health advice and how it's a one-size-fits-all health advice crap sandwich. You know, the kind of advice that says we should consume a specific amount of calories each day, that we must weigh a specific amount in relation to our height, that we must drink a specific (copious) amount of water each day, or that we need to avoid or consume specific foods all to be "healthy." Today's post stems off of that – off of the blind advice we're told on a daily basis by health professionals – by highlighting some of the marketing campaigns said professionals swear by. And I cannot help to wonder if they really know what they're talking about: Have they done their research? Research as in not just Google-ing a few articles that all support the same claim. Research as in understanding the physiology of the body, it's mechanisms, and how it acts or reacts. Research as in understanding the food, it's properties, and how it acts or reacts within the body.
- Improves digestion
- Boosts metabolism
- Supports immune system
- Detoxifies
- Heart healthy
- Lowers cholesterol
- Improved mental clarity
- Increased sexual stamina
The first marketing campaign that comes to mind is "Cheerio's can lower cholesterol in two weeks." Does anyone know what that actually means? Does anyone actually understand the mechanism by which Cheerios – a cereal made out of genetically modified oats and corn, and synthetic vitamins – can lower cholesterol? Do most people understand what cholesterol is and its purpose in the body? Do people most people understand how food affects cholesterol levels? Or are most people on the level that high cholesterol is bad, low cholesterol is good, and to avoid food with cholesterol because too much is bad? Oh, then there's my favorite campaign, "part of a heart-healthy diet." What the HELL does heart-healthy mean?! System of systems. One food does not benefit only one part of the body. System. Of. Systems.
I would really like to see the studies that allude to such claims. I would really like to see all of the stipulations that go into a claim, too, because of a little thing called subjectivity: Who was the study done on? Male? Female? Child? Animal? What age? Other current health factors? Exercise program? Genetic factors? General diet? And, probably the biggest factor, who funded the study?
I want to open some perspectives on what we become numb to and sheepishly believe. Before you go reading food labels as scripture and devouring every last morsel to boost, support, lower, or improve something within your physical self, take a moment to gain perspective with your all-encompassing non-physical self as to who is making the decisions here… your better judgement or the company's fancy label. I can't tell you how many times I've overheard two women of college age in a local coffee shop conversing about beauty products and superfoods, exclaiming how said factors can do wonders for the skin and metabolism and yadda, yadda, yadda. Ok, maybe I've heard it only twice BUT THOSE TWO TIMES were significant enough to stick and make me think… I can't tell if they actually know what they're talking about or if they're really good at memorizing labels.
