This little bottle of oil saved my hair! I love everything about this product - it actually works, it's inexpensive, it doesn't make me a greasy mess, it smells awesome, etc. Anyone struggling with dry hair from color, bleach, overwashing, or just living life - GET THIS! You won't regret it.

I bought this impulsively because I needed a travel-friendly smoothing serum. It cost about $2.50 at the drugstore for an 18mL bottle, which at my current rate of use (2-3x/week) will have lasted me about 2 months total. Not bad.
I like this product because of its ease of application as well as the softening, smoothing effect it has on my hair. Before drying, I pour a nickel-sized amount into my palms, distribute evenly with my hands, then run a boar bristle brush through to make sure it's absorbed well. My hair soaks the product in, and there's no slippery silicone residue on my hands. It's easy to brush and blow dry my fine and easily tangled hair. It's not weighed down at all, and there's a very faint scent of orange oil. It also hasn't led to any breakouts on my sensitive skin. I'm reminded of the Shu Uemura Essence Absolue - it has the same main ingredients, but with Argan oil, Grapeseed oil, and Keratin amino acids instead of Shu's camellia oil.
The only downside to this product is the packaging, which is a brown bottle with a pop-off cap. This may be due to the very small size I purchased, but the product would be easier to use if it had a pump instead. Overall, definitely worth the price, especially if you travel often and need something plane-friendly.

I bought this because I have super dry color treated hair and I was actually looking for the Hask Argan Oil Deep Conditioning cream but this was all I could find at the store. I love the citrusy orange scent of this oil. I have baby fine long straight hair and I used a nickle sized drop of this on dry hair and my hair soaked it up immediately. An hour later I used a quarter sized amount and while it looked oily at first, when I checked a couple of hours later, all the oil had been soaked up and my hair did indeed look much smoother and silkier and the frizzies were tamed for the most part. I have used this 5 times already (1/2 the vial) and it seems to be working great for my hair type so far. This still isn't giving me quite the same results as the deep conditioner does, but it is second best and a great product and I plan on repurchasing this when I run out. I don't much care for the packaging as it simply pours out from the vial and I would prefer a twist up top with a stopper and a squeeze type bottle instead. If I happen to drop this one with the lid off, it's going to be a small mess and no salvaging this product. This was easy to wash off my fingers too after use and that's important too. It still isn't a replacement for the deep conditioner but it is something I have now added to my hair care program. I like that this can be used on damp or dry hair. I don't wash my hair every day but I do use hair shine enhancer/oil/mist of some type every day to moisturize and fight the frizzies since I live in a humid tropical climate. This is very reasonably priced for a couple of dollars and I found it at Walgreen's so it is something that I will be able to replenish easily. I really like everything about this oil. I'm glad I gave it a try.

This oil is amazing! You only need a teeny bit (less than a pea-size circumference), and it smells quite nice too - like oranges. I apply this to damp hair, even though oil and water do not really mix, as I find I have better results this way. It makes my hair so soft and shiny, LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and will continue to repurchase!

I love this stuff. I've been trying to grow my hair out. It was looking kind of rough and I bought this. My split ends were too far gone and I needed a trim. I decided to start using it right after my cut to maintain that new haircut look. It's worked. Months later and it still looks fresh. I won't need a clean up trim for some time.

I'd almost forgotten about this because, well, I can't remember. I do remember though that this came in July's Beautybox5 package.
The size I received is actually the full size single treatment, 1.75 ounces (50g) and it actually gave me two applications ( my hair is just about shoulder length). I could not for the life of me find it in anything other than a 12-pack selling for $25-ish, which comes out to $1.20/ounce. My brain is severely lacking caffeine so that's about as far as my math is going to go.
I applied it according to the instructions, and let my hair dry naturally.
Oh my goodness gracious.
This stuff is very friendly to me! My hair (wavy with genuinely curly bits, dry, brittle, yada yada yada) was softer, fuller and looked much nicer than before we started.
So what is it meant to do? ^^^ that.
What does it actually do? ^^^ that.
The only reason I'm not giving it a higher rating is because I'm a dye-hard fan of VO5 oil treatments and they're cheaper and more convenient to buy. This would definitely be in the running for Top 5 though. I also think that if your hair is oily to begin with, you probably won't be in love with this product.

2.5 years ago, my hair stylist actually refused to dye my hair because it was TOO damaged. It was "FRIED." Since then I grew out my hair and decided to learn to love my natural hair. Now, my old crappy hair is finally at the ends of my hair (about 10cm left). IN OTHER WORDS I have crazy split ends at the bottom -YES I can get a haircut! But I am growing my hair!!
Anyways, I've finished my first bottle of this now!!! In ONE MONTH. This bottle lasted me one month. I saw results within a week!
I comb this through my hair after washing and drying. I did this after EVERY single wash (which was almost daily), and my hair is smoother, shows almost no frizz, walking in the bright sunlight (or spotlights) doesn't outline my split ends /dry fried hair anymore!, and my hair is looking healthier and hydrated! ALSO I continue to damage my hair with powerful hair dryer, super hot straighter and curling wand, as well as bad shampoo's. For now (until I find the perfect shampoo), this is saving my life!!!
Definitely a $2 miracle!!! I'll be buying this forever!

Found this at Walgreens and bought on a whim. I have used Moroccan oil in the past but this far surpasses Moroccan oil. It never weighs my hair down like the Moroccan oil would do if I happened to get just a little too much. My hair is full of body and shine and my hair has NO body on its own! I will definitely go back and stock up on this! Definitely worth it and so inexpensive.

Nolan Accounting Center of Greenfield is a locally owned & operated family business offering accounting & tax preparation for individuals for over 45 years, knows that tax time is just around the corner. They saw many tax law changes this year, & even more are coming in 2011. Their advice? Be prepared!
Nolan Accounting Center offers a checklist of tax tips for individuals, courtesy of the National Society of Accountants & CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business. Choose your brackets carefully because you may want to accelerate income & defer deductions if you expect your income to be higher in 2011.
Beware of upcoming limits on itemized deductions because if you're a higher-income taxpayer who will be affected by the limit on itemized deductions, you may want to try to accelerate deductions into 2010 instead of 2011 if possible.
Also, Take advantage of lower capital gains rates because for 2011, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gain is scheduled to rise to 20%, with a 10% rate applying to taxpayers in the lowest brackets. Saving energy pays off. If you have made certain energy-efficient home improvements this year, you may be able to claim a credit for some or all of the repairs.
Other tax law changes for 2010, such as tax incentives that expired in 2009 & possible changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax, should also be examined for their impact on taxable income & tax rates.
For additional year end tax tips, please contact Timothy R. Nolan at (414) 425-5690 extension 441, email@example.com or go to www.nolanacctgctr.com

The study, sponsored by the University of Michigan Energy Institute, analyzes several scenarios, detailing the changes to different power generation sources such as coal and natural gas, the environmental benefits to the state, and the associated costs under each.

My first day at the COP meetings was so informational that I am forced to highlight only the most interesting points. I will talk about the meetings I attended and you may get a sense of what is going on here, and as I am more interested in China, I pay more attention to events about China today.

Here at the Conference of Parties in Lima, I have been struck by the odd mixture of rah-rah optimism and doomsday pessimism permeating the corridors and negotiating rooms. It is an odd disjuncture, especially for a first-timer to the COP process. While everyone acknowledges that the cost of failure to reach a climate deal next year in Paris is so high as to be almost inconceivable, the possibility for failure remains a lurking reality.

Must love water...
Hoping to meet someone fun who is active and loves the outdoors. It would be nice to meet someone that I'm compatible with but I think it's important not to go into something like this with specific expectations. However, if something comes from it, great! Me - My family means everything to me and I consider my friends my second family. I sometimes think I am loyal to a fault, but I expect the same in return. The beach/water is my absolute favorite, as well as trying all water sports - surfing, paddleboarding, kiteboarding, etc. and would really enjoy someone who feels the same. I love the outdoors, and am always up for exploring. I am a cereal-aholic. I probably eat more cereal than anyone you know. I love to joke around and consider myself rather sarcastic/silly. I definitely need someone who doesn't take life too seriously! I used to live in Chicago for six years and enjoyed every second of it...one of the best experiences I've ever had. I've found that it has helped shape me into who I am today. Since moving back to FL from Chicago, I've also lived in Tampa and Jupiter, both great places. Originally from Boston and can't say enough how much I love New England. I've been bit by the travel bug and want to go everywhere and anywhere around the world. I've crossed quite a few places off my list and want to see so much more! I would love to be with someone who shares this same passion and excitement for travel as I do. I think music is great therapy (nothing is better than driving by yourself and blaring the radio, singing as loud as you can. Although, I will mention, you may not want to hear me sing). :-) About you: I am going to go the simple route on this one and leave it at that I want someone who I have a connection with, has good values and is confident in who he is as a person. So much more to tell and learn, but that's what dating is for...

Love to travel to learn about different cultures and see what else is out there. So far, Santorini has been my favorite, but Cinque Terre, Italy, was also amazing, as well as Australia. Love Cali and New England, so many great spots in the US.

That's What Job Interviews Are For
Submitted by IMissLiberty on Tue, 11/05/2013 - 12:06. Permalink
One of the main purposes of job interviews is to make sure you don't take a job with someone like her. "Off with their heads!"

Crabby, I think I came off sounding harsher than I meant. The part I should have focused on was that I'd go again. I did enjoy the trip. The evening timing was great for light.
I used to go on several of Bernie Ente's cruises a few years ago and the one to Port Elizabeth was fantastic. And as I said, Kill van Kull is always a treat.
Personally, I liked the sides of the middle deck. Up high magnifies the boat movement, and up front didn't allow as much play for framing side-to-side. And the extra bit of height on the middle deck was nice for shooting the tugs.

The American state kills, the Russian state kills, the French state kills, and now the Islamic State kills, too. Whence the surprise?
I suppose that for Americans, killing is a game; while ISIS takes it seriously.
And of course, our butchers are good; their butchers are evil.

They are consolation prizes.
Thus, St. Thomas attributes to virgins "incorruption of mind and body." But we are not salmon who die right after spawning. And all people die, both virgins and not. In fact, being a parent, especially of a lot of children raised well, is rewarded with a far greater main aura than being a virgin. The aureole is a poor substitute for this glory.
A martyr has failed to arrange his affairs in such a way as to avoid death at the hands of other people. This is shameful, regardless of his faith and devotion. Again, his aureole is a consolation prize.
A doctor as a scientist merely contemplates; he does not improve upon the divine works; nor does he improve his own well-being; nor the well-being of fellow men. For this poverty and failure at active life, he is deprived of the main aura or crown but receives an aureole in recognition of a somewhat valuable life.

A person should love charity out of charity, says St. Thomas. Note what this does. Charity is loving God and all other things for the sake of God. But God usually responds to prayers for goods loved out of charity. Therefore, by loving charity, you enlist God's own protection for this theological virtue. This ensures that you will not lose charity in the future.
But why not extend similar reasoning for the other two theological virtues?
Accordingly, one ought to have faith that his faith is correct, thus invoking God to keep one from falling into error regarding any article of faith.
One must also hope that his hope in God will not be disappointed.
The loops protect these virtues from being damaged.

It's true, there are a lot of fat people walking around. Shame on them. But the word "epidemic" properly applies only to infectious communicable diseases that can spread easily from person to person: an epidemic is "an outbreak of disease that spreads quickly and affects many individuals at the same time" (m-w.com).
A case can be made that during an outbreak of some hideous disease, the carrier's liberty can be infringed by means of a quarantine ("a term during which a ship arriving in port and suspected of carrying contagious disease is held in isolation from the shore," also more generally, "a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests.") This violation of rights, though evil in itself, can still be attempted to be justified. A sick person just by being around other people pulses with a negative externality: he can infect them.
Moreover, being infected in the case of a true epidemic is not a "temptation," such that whether or not to give in to it is under the control of one's will. (So, something like "peer pressure" cannot create an epidemic, any more than Coca-Cola.) One may get the illness while being completely innocent of any wrongful or stupid behavior.
I think enough books and movies (I'm thinking Stephen King's The Stand) have explored this issue, so the point should be clear.
But obesity is not contagious. One cannot catch fat from another person. In fact, a fat guy walking around can spread positive externalities: I look at him, am disgusted, and resolve in my heart not be like him, to stay or get fit.
Another implication here is that there are no "public health" issues apart from local externality controls, such as enforcing sanitation rules, making sure that private exterminators do not just drive the vermin next door, and suchlike trivial stuff.
The use of the word "epidemic" is a crude appeal to imagination and emotion, as though fat were flying through the air, attaching itself to people's stomachs. Being obese is a personal consumer choice (of lifestyle, food, exercise or lack thereof, etc.). Coercively to interfere with it (or in general to save people from themselves) is straightforwardly to harm people.

For a purely economic analysis of law, the lawmakers should be granted good intentions. "An economist investigates whether a measure a can bring about the result p for the attainment of which it is recommended, and finds that a does not result in p but in g, an effect which even the supporters of the measure a consider undesirable." (HA: 883)
Any political analysis superadded onto that ought not to presuppose any good intentions. The government is thus not a "nanny state"; it does not aim to "save us from ourselves"; it does not "seek the greatest good for the greatest number"; it does not act "for the children"; etc.
It aims to hurt, not to help; to destroy, not to save; to rip off, not to create wealth. The government is both stupid economically and evil politically, though in doing evil it is deviously smart.

Three important points in this interesting article:
"The rise of ISIS, after all, happened only because our previous occupation created space for Zarqawi and his followers."
"But [the Islamic State's] threat to the United States is smaller than its all too frequent conflation with al-Qaeda would suggest. Al-Qaeda's core is rare among jihadist groups for its focus on the 'far enemy' (the West); most jihadist groups' main concerns lie closer to home. That's especially true of the Islamic State, precisely because of its ideology. It sees enemies everywhere around it, and while its leadership wishes ill on the United States, the application of Sharia in the caliphate and the expansion to contiguous lands are paramount."
"Without a catastrophe such as [a reconciliation between ISIS and al-Qaeda], however, or perhaps the threat of the Islamic State's storming Erbil, a vast ground invasion would certainly make the situation worse."
How right Mises was about Islam (and Judaism at the same time):
"Today the Islamic and Jewish religions are dead. They offer their adherents nothing more than a ritual. They know how to prescribe prayers and fasts, certain foods, circumcision and the rest; but that is all. They offer nothing to the mind. Completely despiritualized, all they teach and preach are legal forms and external rule. They lock their follower into a cage of traditional usages, in which he is often hardly able to breathe; but for his inner soul they have no message. They suppress the soul, instead of elevating and saving it.
"For many centuries in Islam, for nearly two thousand years in Jewry, there have been no new religious movements. Today the religion of the Jews is just as it was when the Talmud was drawn up. The religion of Islam has not changed since the days of the Arab conquests. Their literature, their philosophies continue to repeat the old ideas and do not penetrate beyond the circle of theology. One looks in vain among them for men and movements such as Western Christianity has produced in each century. They maintain their identity only by rejecting everything foreign and 'different,' by traditionalism and conservatism. Only their hatred of everything foreign rouses them to great deeds from time to time.
"All new sects, even the new doctrines which arise with them, are nothing more than echoes of this fight against the foreign, the new, the infidel. Religion has no influence on the spiritual life of the individual, where indeed this is able to develop at all against the stifling pressure of rigid traditionalism."
Again, ISIS arose as the most recent reaction to the crimes of Washington's foreign policy. It is as Mises describes it, but the US is fully complicit in its creation. Wood writes:
"Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks."
Kind like the US killing Muslims with drones. Also happens all the time. Americans expected that they'll just take it and die quietly. But then, how many divisions has the Pope?

Suppose we admit for the sake of argument that the climate is always changing, including at this very moment, and even that costly adaptations are perpetually required of us humans to deal with this change.
Why expect that the best way to adapt is collectively by having Obama sign various global treaties that would disrupt the world's economy?
The environmentalists, if they are to be taken seriously, need to prove to the rest of us that they are not using the idea of climate change as a reason to destroy the industrial civilization.

I recall a Simpsons episode, where there's this exchange:
Bart: "Wow, my father an astronaut, I feel so full of... what's the opposite of shame?"
Marge: "Pride?"
Bart: "No, not that far from shame."
Homer: "Less shame?"
Bart: "Yeah."
Actually, the opposite of shame is glory.
Speaking of which, God has no glory unless man does. Your own virtue and works bring glory to your Creator.
God is goodness, and the world must be good. And it will be, if I can help it.

He should present himself as a mischievous kid who got caught and make light of the whole thing, laugh it up.
Use the jokes to his advantage: "So, there we were at this bridge, and Frodo says to me: 'Here, you take the ring.'" Just say it on Letterman and make everybody laugh.
I mean, it really is just a fish story to which everyone reacted out of all proportion.

There are 2 antonyms to the word "good": bad and evil. Bad would mean "I wish the situation were different." Evil means absence of some good that somehow both can and ought to be there. Thus, blindness may be regarded as evil in a man but not in a stone, since a stone is not supposed to see in the first place.
Now the very conception of evil is a profoundly religious notion. To the objection that suffering feels real, I reply that for any instance of evil, whether physical, moral, or metaphysical, it may be asked: "Why should the opposite to it good be?" "Who promised you a happy life?" "Who breaks his contract with you, if you suffer or die?"
That it ought to be "on earth as it is in heaven" but is not presupposes a good God who mysteriously permits us to live in a non-heavenly environment.
Suffering for an atheist is merely bad not evil. An atheist is like a diseased dog, suffering dumbly without trying to discern any higher purpose to the suffering.

Pro-private gun ownership folks need to realize that they have to go on the offensive, namely to repeal anti-gun regulations, to liberalize the guns business and buying, selling, and transporting guns.
It is important to shoot down future possible gun control measures, too, but the we need a positive platform, a vision of a great gun regime.
Don't just play defense and say crazy things like "we don't need new guns laws; we need to enforce existing laws better." No, we need to enforce existing laws worse and even not at all, and ultimately repeal all those laws.
Capture the moral high ground and go from there.

If you want to disarm the populace, admit the real reason for it: take the guns away from "those people," especially blacks. I am heartened that people still say such un-PC stuff publicly. Way to go, though I think Bloomberg is wrong: most of "those people" are precisely victims and need guns more than anyone else to protect themselves from their violent brethren.

Testicular Torsion
In this article
What Is Testicular Torsion?
Within the scrotum, the testicles are secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord. Sometimes, this cord gets twisted around a testicle, cutting off the blood supply. Symptoms of testicular torsion include sudden and severe pain, enlargement of the affected testicle, tenderness, and swelling.
This condition, which occurs most often in young males less than 25 years of age, can result from an injury to the testicles or from strenuous activity. It also can occur for no apparent reason.

Terry Waters, a former college wrestler and baseball player, loved working out. He got real pleasure out of pushing himself hard at the gym, and he liked the feeling of tired but virtuous afterwards. He figured regular physical activity and its health benefits would always be a part of his life. Then came marriage, three kids, a demanding job as a software engineer in Boston — and a thousand and one excuses not to make it to the gym.

How Is Testicular Torsion Treated?
Testicular torsion requires immediate medical attention. Treatment usually involves correction of the problem through surgery. Testicular function may be saved if the condition is diagnosed and corrected immediately. If the blood supply to the testicle is cut off for a long period of time, the testicle can become permanently damaged and may need to be removed.

The Apple iPad has only been in our hands for little over two days and there is already jailbreak claims. There are rumors that @comex has managed to port the Spirit" jailbreaking program to Apple's tablet device. If this is true, then this will be the first of many jailbreaks for the iPad.
According to Blog Technical, the jailbreak is in its early stages, but it means that those willing to take the chance will be able to customize their iPad much more than Apple intended. Just remember that you will void your warranty if you do.
While watching the video below you will see the iPad connected to a laptop, where the guy then enters a series of commands to jailbreak and take control of the iPad. You will notice that he goes through each step on the iPad while entering code on to his laptop. The end result is a jailbroken iPad.
Do you think that these jailbreak claims are true?

49ers surging during December stretch run
For everyone who figured the San Francisco 49ers might stumble after reaching the Super Bowl considering their tougher schedule, added pressure and a much-improved division nemesis, the reigning NFC champions are headed back to the playoffs.
With plenty of momentum.
Despite a pair of earlier two-game skids, they still have a chance at another NFC West crown, if all goes right in Week 17. Not too far off from the way they hoped it would go down the December stretch.
San Francisco (11-4) is riding a five-game winning streak after a thrilling 34-24 win against Atlanta on Monday night. If the Niners win at Arizona on Sunday and Seattle loses at home to St. Louis, they would capture a third straight division crown in improbable fashion.
''It means a lot,'' linebacker Patrick Willis said. ''One of the things we talked about all year is that we knew what it was going to be like. Everybody expected us to just coast right through the season and be easy. But as you know we went through a little bit of adversity, and people were like, `Well, maybe they're not the team that we thought they were.' But we just stayed together and we have another chance now to go make something happen.''
In a ceremonious and nostalgic send off for Candlestick Park's regular-season finale - with the football and baseball dignitaries of past decades in the house - fans departed from Candlestick Point late Monday with a glimmer of hope there still might be one more game in the iconic venue. It would happen if the 49ers win, Seahawks lose and Carolina falls at Atlanta.
Such a scenario seemed an afterthought only a few weeks back, when San Francisco was 8-4, the Seahawks (12-3) sat at 11-1 and were poised to be the runaway NFC West winner.
There was a time the 49ers were in jeopardy of missing the playoffs altogether.
''It's great, especially to get the win that gets us back in the tournament, to get back where we left off last year, and hopefully we can get the job done,'' running back Frank Gore said. ''That was a great win, and it took all of us to get the job done, and I think that's what it's going to take for us to move forward to get it in this tournament. It's going to take all of us to make plays to get back to where we left off last year.''
Things can change fast in this league.
Just when the Falcons were driving with a chance to win after Matt Ryan led two late touchdown drives, Tramaine Brock broke up a pass to Harry Douglas. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman grabbed the ball for an interception and ran 89 yards for a touchdown with 2:09 remaining.
''I was, and still am, happier than a pig in slop,'' coach Jim Harbaugh said on two occasions Monday, revealing a new catchphrase one day after celebrating his 50th birthday with a wild, crucial win.
Nobody wanted to lose in a festive farewell for The Stick.
Afterward, 49ers CEO Jed York scurried up on stage in the north end zone to stand alongside his successful uncle, former owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. In that moment, with a sellout crowd cheering, the past and future of a storied franchise stood together with the same mission of winning Super Bowls for years to come.
DeBartolo, the honorary captain for Candlestick Park's likely last hurrah, handed the game ball to York. Then, a fireworks show followed, with Boyz II Men playing ''It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday'' in a concert fitting of the iconic venue that hosted the Beatles' final gig.
The 49ers hope there is much more to cheer before the season ends.
For months last winter, and into spring and summer offseason workouts, the 49ers were stung by how close they came to the franchise's sixth championship. San Francisco lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens, missing three chances from the 5-yard line with less than 2 minutes remaining.
The loss snapped San Francisco's perfect 5-0 Super Bowl record.
DeBartolo has no problem making bold predictions about this year's team.
''This team is on a mission, I can see it,'' he said. ''I think they're a team of destiny this year. There will be no first-and-goal on the 5. They're going. They're going to win the Super Bowl.''

Gilbert Fire adds 4-legged team member
GILBERT, Ariz. -- There is a new addition to the Gilbert Fire Department.
Spring, a 2-year-old labrador retriever, has undergone weeks of training at the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Canine Training and Operations Support Branch in Front Royal, Virginia.
Spring specializes in detecting accelerants used to start incendiary fires, according to information provided by the department.
Her expertise is invaluable.
"It's huge, I mean arson is a very high crime. It's a Class 2 felony, just under murder," said David Zehring, Spring's partner and handler.
Spring and Zehring are the only certified ATF K-9 Accelerant Detection team in the state. The pair is also part of the ATF National Response Team.

Obesity in the Pacific
Obesity in the Pacific is a growing health concern with health officials stating that it is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the Pacific Rim. According to Forbes, Pacific island nations and associated states make up the top seven on a 2007 list of fattest countries, and eight of the top ten. In all these cases, more than 70% of citizens age 15 and over have an unhealthy weight.[1]
Reasons for this issue include mining operations that have left not much arable land; as a result, much of the local diet is of processed, imported food such as Spam or corned beef,[2] rather than fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.[3] In addition, cultural factors have been blamed, such as associating a large body size with wealth and power, or changing ways of living, with children leading more sedentary lives.[4]
The problem is leading to increased levels of illness, including diabetes and heart diseases. In the Marshall Islands in 2008 there were 8,000 cases of diabetes in a population of only 53,000.[5] In Fiji, strokes used to be rare in the under 50s, whilst doctors reported that they had become common amongst patients in their 20s and 30s.[5]
The problems are not confined to the small island nations, with the United States appearing 9th on the list, New Zealand 17th, and Australia 21st.[1] In Australia, ambulances have been redesigned and equipped with heavier stretchers and larger wheelchairs to take account of the increased weight of the patients they carry.[6]
Weight rank[edit]
World ranking[1] | Pacific country | % of overweight persons (age 15 and over) |
1. | Nauru | 94.5 |
