need recipes for first two weeksReplyDelete
There are plenty of phase one recipes, you just need to look through the recipe archives on the right hand side of the blog.ReplyDelete
Thanks! I'm in Utah and wasn't finding much tasty yogurt and rarely shop at Smiths so now I'll have to go there and find some!ReplyDelete
Love your site.

Hi, will you please email me and let me know if you think the Carb Master yogurt is ok for Phase 1? Thanks :)ReplyDelete
Doris, I definitely wouldn't eat the fruit ones which have bits of fruit in the yogurt. The South Beach Book says you can introduce "yogurt, nonfat flavored, artificially flavored" for phase two, so I'd say it's probably not good for phase one even if there's no fruit in the yogurt.ReplyDelete

does anyone know what kind of sweetener is in this yogurt?ReplyDelete
Anonymous, I don't have any in the fridge right now but I'm pretty sure it's aspartame.ReplyDelete

I LOVE this yogurt also. They sell it at Dillon's in Kansas. They have recently added new flavors - blackberry/pomegranate, cherry acai, and some others that are fabulous. I also love the vanilla. I use it to make fruit salads and also for breakfast I'll add 1/2 banana and a handful of raw oatmeal!ReplyDelete
Will have to look for the new flavors!ReplyDelete

I think it's sweetened with Splenda.ReplyDelete

OMG- I love this stuff!! I especially love the strawberry pomegranate, the blackberry, cheery, raspberry, strawberry banana...actually the only one I DON'T like is vanilla. They are such a great find - and so high in protein compared to regualr yogurt. I am totally addicted. I eat a couple fo them per day at work for snacks. *LOVE*ReplyDelete

The Kroger Carb Master yogurt is so thick and creamy and higher in protein. Add a few drops of almond extract to the vanilla flavor or a little lemon extract- so good. I am crazy for the Blackberry and Black Cherry flavors. Thanks for spreading the word about this low carb product.ReplyDelete

I saw two new flavors at my Kroger. Spiced pear and vanilla chai. Both are delish!ReplyDelete
I will definitely look for them!ReplyDelete
If people don't want to use the ingredients that are in this yogurt, I suggest they don't buy it, but don't leave comments here "lecturing" about what it contains. I believe in giving everyone their free will when it comes to food choices.ReplyDelete
This yogurt is by far the best on stats! Low calories, low sugar, high protein... I just can't buy any other kind when I look at their stats after finding this one!!ReplyDelete
That's just how I feel about it too!ReplyDelete
I love this yogurt! I usually have it for dessert after dinner. I will say that originally the jello like texture kind of freaked me out, but I've found that as long as it put it in a bowl and stir it really well, its much closer to the texture of normal yogurt.ReplyDelete
I love this yogurt! I think it tastes great and I love the consistency!ReplyDelete
I love, love, love this yogurt! We drive 40 miles to the closest Krogers so I can stock up. I just discovered it a few months ago. A real winner for a diabetic. :)ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever seen this yogurt on the east coast! Sad. I'm a Fage girl through and through. I add a hint of honey and some cinnamon to it...lovely.ReplyDelete
Love hearing from so many people who like this, and also from fans of Fage, my other favorite yogurt.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the blackberry/pomegranate kind! I think it might be relatively new but it is delicious. Find it if you can!ReplyDelete
Sandra, this is a low-sugar yogurt. It does have some fat.ReplyDelete
I'm not publishing your comment because I believe everyone should make their own food choices. If you don't like the yogurt, don't buy it. If you want to share your opinions about what is healthy or not, you will have to do that on your own blog, not by criticizing something I buy and obviously many other people enjoy.
Does this yogurt use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar, as some low carb products do? If that's the case I would avoid it entirely for a variety of reasons.ReplyDelete
Molly, yes it uses artificial sweetener.ReplyDelete
Hi Sandra,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your very kind response to my comment regarding your comment (which was definitely too harsh, as I see when I re-read it above.) In my defense I can only say that I get frequent negative "food police" type comments from people who seem to be only interested in pointing out that anyone who disagrees with their opinion is wrong. Obviously you're not one of those people but, since I wasn't really touting this as a low-fat yogurt (more of a low-carb product) I guess I couldn't quite figure out why you were talking about that.
As for lowfat vs. fat, one of the main reason I chose the SBD was because I knew I could never follow a plan where you couldn't use fats like olive oil or others. But when I am saying my recipes are South Beach Diet "friendly" I do feel like I have to respect their position as far as saturated fats, at least to some degree.
I do hope though that I'm always willing to learn more about things and re-examine my opinions, and I appreciate you following up on the comment!
I'm eating this yogurt now and I love it. But when I found out it doesn't have cultures in it I now mix a spoonful of greek yogurt into it. And of course granola. Yummie!ReplyDelete
I randomly found this yogurt at Ralph's in southern California. I thought it was going to be disgusting, but then I saw the love of my life listed on the ingredients: SUCRALOSE! and I was not disappointed. This yogurt is SO.AMAZINGLY.TASTY! obviously, it does have a bit of carbs and sugar, but compare to cottage cheese and greek yogurt.ReplyDelete
I have a cookbook that is calling for Kroger Carbmaster Yogurt...we do not have a Krogers in the Western NY area. could anyone please tell me how to purchase this product, or better yet, is there another yogurt that would be similar to this one?ReplyDelete
Thanks for any help!
Mary in NY
Mary, if you can find a sugar-free yogurt that would be similar. I'm afraid that's all the help I can give.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 6, 2016 at 2:53 PM
I know it sods weird but I mix my Carbmasters 50/50 with fat free cottage cheese and a handfull of chopped fruit. Makes it real thick and therefore much more filling.ReplyDeleteReplies
And more protein, I like that idea!Delete

text: No room for 'ugly' at QB By Dave Hickman April 16, 2013 Story Share AP Photo Paul Millard saw game action as Geno Smith's backup last fall and has a leg up on Ford Childress in terms of experience, but the two are battling this spring to be Smith's successor at quarterback. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- It's been a little over a year now since Ford Childress arrived on campus at West Virginia and immediately jumped into his college football career.He arrived from Houston as an early enrollee last January, went through winter conditioning and then hit the field for his first spring practice.He certainly looked the part. At a strapping 6-foot-5 and 224 pounds, he stood out even among West Virginia's quarterbacks at the time, Geno Smith and Paul Millard.And then practice began."I was watching tape the other day from last spring. Man, it was ugly,'' Childress said. "I can't even [point out the worst part]. The whole thing was just ugly.''Well, to a certain extent, things are still a bit ugly for Childress. For Millard, too. As the two battle this spring for the right to succeed Smith as West Virginia's quarterback, that word still finds its way into coach Dana Holgorsen's vocabulary every now and then.But have no doubt, progress has been made. And from last spring to this, the progress has been dramatic."This spring I actually know what's going on - what to do, what reads to make,'' Childress said. "Last spring it was kind of all hurried and I was just thrown into the fire. "I watched that tape from last spring and it's just completely different. The way I play, the speed of my game, all of that is just completely different.''When considering Childress and his progress, of course, it's probably prudent to recall that he isn't exactly a quarterback lifer. Yes, he grew up playing the position, but when he entered high school he was moved to tight end because there was a quarterback already entrenched in the position. He didn't move back until he was a junior, so he had just two years of real experience when he arrived in Morgantown.In other words, he wasn't only getting used to playing college football, but was also still getting used to being a quarterback."Yeah, it's difficult,'' Childress said. "It's always been difficult because [as a quarterback] you have pressure and you're expected to do everything right. But Geno made it look a lot easier than it really is. He was pretty good.'' Of course, Childress is no novice to the game. Not only has he been around it all his life, he's been around it at the highest levels. His dad, Ray, was a five-time Pro Bowl defensive end with the Houston Oilers.He was asked if perhaps sometimes, when he's in those quarterback meetings or on the field with so many decisions to make and his head is spinning, does he wish he'd followed his dad's footsteps and become a defensive end, chasing QBs instead of trying to be one."All the time,'' said Childress, who has added another 10 pounds since his arrival. "All the time. "But the last time I played D-line was sixth grade and I was twice the size of everybody else, so it was pretty easy. I think it would be pretty fun for maybe a day and then I'm done.''By all accounts, the battle between Childress and Millard is as even as they come."One of us has a better day than the other one and then the next day it's the other way,'' Childress said. "It just goes back and forth.''Come Saturday afternoon, when spring drills end with the 2 p.m. Gold-Blue game at Mountaineer Field, Holgorsen said the two will split the first-team reps just as they have all spring, or roughly evenly. They will likely do the same thing when fall practice begins in August."We're just going to have to compete all the way through and just keep getting better every time,'' Childress said. "I think it's a lot better with us competing and pushing each other. I think that will bring a lot better play out of both of us.''For Childress, of course, his level of play has already been taken to the next level from where he was a year ago. "I think I've made progress,'' Childress said. "My timing, my urgency has gotten a ton better; my footwork especially from the beginning of spring to today, everything has picked up.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Order before the movie starts, settle into the luxurious high-back leather rockers, then swivel the seat table into position when the server brings the goods.

Chapman was always a starter his entire career before being converted to a reliever and last year, a closer. Some people posting seems to think this is foreign territory for him.
We aren't paying 7 mil a year to Broxton to set up.
This shouldn't even be a discussion at this point. Stick with moving Chapman to the rotation and if things don't look good in June/July, move him back to the bullpen for the remainder of the year and do it over again next year.
Relievers are a heck of a lot easier to find than plus starters.

Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series that looks at feed loss due to birds on dairies.
Part I examines the quantity and value of feed eaten by birds. This article looks at bird-control options.
It was a late-March day in northeast Wisconsin. From the road, it was easy for any passerby to see the problem. The large dairy, home to a couple thousand cows, also was the unwilling host of just as many — or even more — birds. Startled by an approaching vehicle, a sizeable flock took flight from a silage bunker, sweeping across the parking lot in a flurry of black wings. They touched down near a freestall barn, likely eyeing up their next pecking grounds — the freshly filled feed bunk inside.
According to a USDA Wildlife Services fact sheet, 1,000 starlings can eat about 36 to 40 pounds of food per day. That's a sizeable chunk of change. (Learn more about the economics in last month's article, "Blackbird blues.")
If you're tired of sharing your cows' chow with a bunch of avian invaders, read on. There are several bird-control options at your disposal. Find out which one might best suit your needs.
What methods are most effective?
According to a survey of commercial dairies in Pennsylvania, New York and Wisconsin, bird-control measures vary in terms of their effectiveness. The table, "Efficacy and cost of bird-control methods on dairies," breaks down how survey respondents ranked the effectiveness of some common bird-control strategies. It also puts a price tag on the cost of those strategies.
Meanwhile, some other points of interest from the survey include:
• To kill a mockingbird… Survey participants said lethal methods (a.k.a., shooting and poisoning) were more effective than nonlethal control measures like live trapping and chemical repellents.
• … but you don't have to kill 'em. Respondents said "exclusionary devices" (like netting or bird-proofing buildings) worked, too. In fact, netting was the only nonlethal control method shown to be moderately effective, though it was the most expensive option cited.
• No method is without its drawbacks. This is for the overly optimistic folks. The study's purveyors say that factors like economics ("It costs how much?") can stand in your way, and some strategies are just plain hard to implement without disrupting normal activity on the farm. ("There's so much netting in here, I can't drive into the barn to feed the cows!") Remember, too, that certain strategies come with unpleasant or annoying side effects. ("Sure, it scared the birds off, but now the cows are so jumpy.")
What are my options?
Options for bird control on dairy operations fall into two general categories: lethal and nonlethal. Lethal options include those already mentioned, such as shooting and poisoning. Nonlethal methods can be broken down a bit further into these categories:
Repellents. This category includes options like electronic bird control which uses sounds, like digital recordings of distressed birds, to frighten away their pesky peers. It also includes chemical repellents and scare tactics like propane cannons.
Exclusion. Options like birdproofing of buildings and bird netting fall into this category.
Other. Things like live trapping and habitat modification (practices that limit birds' access to feed and water) fit here.
Tap into Wildlife Services
Wildlife Services is a program within the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Specialists with Wildlife Services can provide on-site assistance and recommendations for using the various control practices mentioned here. You may want to talk to them first before using baits or other lethal bird-control methods, some of which require training and certification. Call Wildlife Services at (866) 487-3297, or visit the Web site at: www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage/
Efficacy and cost of birdcontrol methods on dairies
This table shows the effectiveness and average cost of various control strategies used on commercial dairies in Pennsylvania, New York and Wisconsin in 2009.
A look at the data shows that bird-control measures implemented by Wildlife Services received the highest rating (35 percent) in the "very effective" category. Chemical repellents received the lowest rating (7 percent) in this category, followed by live trapping (10 percent) and habitat modification (11 percent).
The survey results, published in the November 2012 Journal of Dairy Science, also show that cost of bird control differs substantially, with bird netting being the most expensive and live trapping the least.

Replace Your Car Stereo in 7 Steps
Buffalo-based Pierce-Arrow, founded in 1901, once ranked with Detroit's Packard and Cleveland's Peerless as the Three P's of Motordom. It was a status symbol for royalty, celebrities, and leading politicians.
Taken over by Studebaker in 1928, Pierce-Arrow regained its independence when Studebaker went bankrupt five years later. Emerging debt-free, it fashioned the stunning Silver Arrow concept shown at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. The pontoon fenders, tapered tail, lack of running boards, and faired-in headlights (retaining the company's signature flared housing) were easily a decade ahead of the times, delivering on its maker's boast that it was the "car of the future." The silky smooth and quiet V-12 engine made for luxurious motoring. But a $10,000 price tag, 20 times the cost of a mass-market Ford or Plymouth in the depth of the Great Depression, meant only five sold. While the company survived five more years, it never developed a mid-priced car and declared insolvency in 1938.
One of the great cars of all time, with landmark design and advanced engineering, this Cord proved to be the genuine swan song of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg.
Errett Loban (E.L.) Cord got his start as a Los Angeles auto salesman, and parlayed that into ownership of the Auburn Motor Company of Auburn, Ind., in 1925. He soon added Duesenberg and the Lycoming engine company to his holdings. The first car to bear his name, the 1929-33 L-29, was the first front-drive American production car.
The company struggled throughout the Depression, gradually investing in the front-drive Cord 810 as a way to fill the gap between the pricey Auburns and the stratospherically expensive custom-built Duesenbergs. The Gordon Buehrig design broke new ground, including its hidden headlamps and unit-body construction. Adding a supercharger turned the 810 into the high-performance 812 for 1937 but it was too late. The $2000 Cord was far too expensive for the mass market yet not posh enough for the ultra-wealthy. Sales of just more than 2300 weren't enough to keep ACD out of bankruptcy.

The market continues to struggle as the realization grows that the politicians actually are going to allow us to go over the fiscal cliff. The market is still hoping for some sort of Band-Aid deal but losing faith quickly. The big negative is that we really have no idea how much longer this will drag out and the chances of some sort of "grand bargain" are steadily declining as well.
What is particularly interesting is how poorly the market has anticipated this situation. Market players have been very confident for more than a month that a deal would be made before year's end. The indices have been pricing in and the only real concern is whether we might have a sell-the-news reaction when the deal is done.
Instead, the market is now forced to reassess and given back all the gains of December and testing the support areas of November. One more day like this and we won't be too far from the November lows.
Traders still have their fingers crossed in hope for some sort of surprise news that will spike the market up quickly. Given how poorly most folks are positioned, it could be a very powerful move, but trying to position in anticipation of that action is extremely difficult.
My strategy is to stay vigilant and be ready to move quickly when the news hits. A good move will last longer than a day and there will be time to put money to work even if you don't catch the bottom tick.
My thinking is that it is better to wait and join the party late than to keep trying to guess when it might start. I'd rather miss early gains than rack up losses in an attempt to time things too precisely.

American Honda to Recall Vehicles to Repair Ignition Switches
Certain 1997 to 1999 and 2002 Honda and Acura Vehicles Affected
TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 3 -- American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today announced a voluntary recall of certain Honda and Acura models to repair ignition switches that may allow the key to be removed from the switch without the shift lever being placed in the "Park" position.
The recall involves approximately 650,000 automatic transmission equipped vehicles -- manual transmission equipped vehicles are not affected. Included in the recall are certain 1998 to 1999 Honda Accord models, some 1999 models of the Odyssey and some 2002 CR-V models. Also included in the recall are certain 1997 to 1999 Acura CL coupes and some 1999 Acura TL sedans.
The situation is created by excessive wear or contamination in the key cylinder that prevents proper shift interlock operation, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to "PARK." Owners of all affected vehicles are urged to make sure their transmission is in the Park position and the Parking Brake applied before exiting the vehicle. Following this simple procedure will eliminate all potential accidents or injuries.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by American Honda when parts are available and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized dealer to be repaired free of charge. The repair involves the update or replacement of the lock cylinder body while retaining the original lock and key assemblies.
Mailings will begin in December. Customers may also contact their Honda or Acura dealer with questions.
There have been three accidents with four minor injuries reported to American Honda related to this issue.

Outfielder Nate McLouth has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Baltimore Orioles, according to The Baltimore Sun. Terms of the deal are unknown.
McLouth, 31, revitalized his career after signing with the Orioles late this past June. He was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates shortly before that.
In 55 regular season games with Baltimore, McLouth hit .268/.342/.435 with seven homers, 18 RBIs, 35 runs and 12 stolen bases.
McLouth will be a candidate to start in left field in 2013, with incumbent Nolan Reimold returning from neck surgery. Adam Jones will start in center, with Nick Markakis manning right field.
It remains to be seen whether the Orioles will continue to pursue other outfield options. They have been linked to free agent Nick Swisher in trade rumors.

PASADENA, Texas - A maintenance worker at a Pasadena middle school is alive thanks to the quick response from his co-workers.
The man collapsed and was unconscious while he was working on the air conditioner at Thompson Intermediate School.
Officials said that's when a team of employees sprang into action. They're part of the school's emergency response team. They grabbed a defibrillator, shocked the worker and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
The entire district, and especially Toni Lopez, the principal at Thompson Intermediate, are celebrating their heroic action.
"They responded exactly how they were trained to respond," said Lopez. I'm thankful for our school board that had the foresight to purchase these for every single campus. Because this came out to be a situation where it was worth every penny."
The school board approved the purchase of defibrillators in 2011 for every single campus in the Pasadena School District at a cost of $70,000.

Twins send seven players to Minor League camp
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Twins reassigned seven players to Minor League camp on Sunday, including first baseman Chris Colabello, who also played for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic.
Catcher Eric Fryer, third baseman Mark Sobolewski, outfielders Brian Dinkelman and Clete Thomas and right-handers Deolis Guerra and Shairon Martis were also reassigned to Minor League camp.
Colabello hit .294 with two doubles, two walks and three RBIs in nine Grapefruit League games. He also hit .333 while leading Team Italy with two homers and seven RBIs in the World Baseball Classic.
Colabello, who played seven seasons in the independent Can-Am League before playing at Double-A New Britain last season, is scheduled to start the season at Triple-A Rochester.
"He did fine," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He played great for Team Italy and really well for us. First base is a place where we don't have a ton of depth. We have [Justin] Morneau and then ad-libbing from there. So he's put himself in a good situation where if he's down there swinging the bat good, he could go right into the big leagues after all that time in independent ball. So it's a good story."
Guerra, meanwhile, is out with a blood clot in his right shoulder. He was released from the hospital on Sunday after having a first rib resection on Friday. He's expected to miss the first half of the season.
"He has to go through therapy and all that stuff, but ultimately he'll be back on the mound," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "Everything went well."
Martis also isn't with the club, as he's pitching for the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.
The Twins now have 42 players in camp: 22 pitchers (five non-roster), four catchers (one non-roster), nine infielders (three non-roster) and seven outfielders (two non-roster).

18 September 2012
There's no doubt that the Tigers are in "must win" mode from here on out, and the team certainly played like that was the case on Tuesday night. Detroit pummeled Oakland by a 12-2 margin despite losing starting pitcher Max Scherzer after only two innings due to what was dubbed shoulder fatigue. Scherzer was immediately sent for an MRI which showed no damage, but the team will play it safe and shut him down for a few days before re-evaluating his condition.
It goes without saying that the Tigers can't count on making the playoffs – or making any sort of run in the playoffs – without a healthy Max Scherzer who's been lights out for a stretch. It doesn't appear as though he'll be making his next scheduled start, but I don't think that's been officially ruled out at this point either. His rest-of-season playing time may depend on how competitive the team stays in the division race.
The bullpen filled in admirably in his absence. Darin Downs, Brayan Villarreal, Phil Coke, Joaquin Benoit, and Luis Marte combined for seven innings of one-run ball, scattering six hits and two walks to go along with five strikeouts.Offensively there was plenty to cheer about as well. Jhonny Peralta, Prince Fielder, and Miguel Cabrera (twice, once as a grand slam) each homered, and the club scored at least one run in six of their eight offensive innings. Cabrera's big day (2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI) lifted him to career highs in home runs (40) and RBI (129), and puts him in legitimate striking distance of the Triple Crown. I still would say that Mike Trout is the AL MVP, but Cabrera has had a year for the ages.
Other Notes:
- It was announced that that Alex Avila was not medically cleared to play after taking a Prince Fielder elbow to the head the other day, but the Tigers say he did not suffer a concussion. He's considered day-to-day.
- Quintin Berry (2-4, 2B) left the game in the seventh inning with a shoulder injury after diving for, and missing, a fly ball. X-rays were negative.
- The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-2, so they remain three games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central standings. You could say the win meant little because of Chicago's win as well, but the A's are the toughest team left on the Tigers schedule (two games remain), but Chicago still has seven to play versus the likes of Los Angels and Tampa Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Riding the green wave of a newly implemented cap-and-trade carbon emissions system and a half-billion dollars per year for green jobs, Gov. Jerry Brown exhorted green builders Friday to urge the rest of the nation to "get with it."
"I want to reinforce everything you're doing and tell you that in California, we take it seriously -- we've been doing it for a long time," Brown told a few thousand attendees at the closing session of the Greenbuild Conference and Expo at the Moscone Center.
And, perhaps feeling his oats following his electoral victory with Proposition 30, his tax-hike ballot measure to fund education, Brown jabbed at those who say California is a failed state.
He said he wouldn't say what party such "declinists" tend to associate with, but "I can tell you they're losing power from coast to coast," he said, earning applause from the audience. And those who hung the nickname "Governor Moonbeam" -- "not a term of endearment" -- on him during his earlier gubernatorial terms "aren't around anymore, but I am."
California on Wednesday launched its new system for limiting greenhouse gas emissions by putting a price on carbon, as the state's Air Resources Board began auctioning permits to create a marketplace for such emissions. Businesses must either cut their emissions or buy permits from other companies for each extra ton of pollution discharged each year.
And California voters last week approved Proposition 39, which closed a corporate tax loophole to bring the state an estimated $1 billion per year. Half of that will fund energy-efficiency and clean-energy projects at public buildings and schools for the first five years, creating 40,000 new jobs, according to the state Legislative Analyst's Office.
Brown on Friday noted the common Greek root of the words "ecology" and "economy," but said ecology is about "deep principles, deep patterns, the structure of reality itself" -- the economy exists within ecology, not vice versa.
"There is no ability to repeal the laws of nature," he said, and mankind must stop its polluting and wasteful ways or else suffer "irreversible, catastrophic consequences."
The state and nation must be aggressive about setting goals, such as having zero-net-energy residential buildings by 2020 and commercial buildings by 2030.
"California can only go so far -- we can be a little bit in front," he said, but it's up to forward-thinkers like those at the conference to push the rest of the nation toward a sustainable future.
"Time is not on our side" as greenhouse gasses keep amassing in the atmosphere, he said, adding that if the world doesn't clean up its act, it could reach a point where humans have to be "living on some other planet that's more hospitable."

Is it better to support a corporation that causes thousands of Ecuadorian humans and animals to die and forces the rest off their land, than to cook a burger to feed an Ecuadorian refugee?
It comes down to what makes you feel the most guilt.
"A lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison."— AN 5.177
Shell (as an example) is engaged in all this, and perhaps owns a few fast food joints? If your livelihood depends on such behavior, even indirectly...oh the unwholesomeness of it all!
Annapurna wrote:You don't own the kamma of your employer. Only your own.
lojong1 wrote:Annapurna wrote:You don't own the kamma of your employer. Only your own.
In that way you can justify the manufacture and sale of weapons, poisons and intoxicants as right livelihood.
lojong1 wrote:'Direct and indirect harm gets lip service in modern explanations of right livelihood.
Does anyone know a sutta that says even indirect harm from livelihood should be avoided? (other than the explicit indirect support of weapons poisons intoxicants slaves butchery that most of us engage in daily )

In a couple of days I start a Meat Cutting course so that I can get in to a Culinary Arts course right after (My math mark sucked and I was offered this or nothing so I took it), so I will technically be a Butcher.
This is most likely bad Kamma. HOWEVER I'm totally fine with that, because, as a LAY practitioner that has no interest in going any further than that, I try not to bind my self to concern about my Kamma effects other than the immediate (this life). This does not interfere with me trying with the upmost effort to be a good and compassionate human being. I realize that my career choice may be poor but I am willing to own up to my Kammic obligations and rise above the obsession with it and actually BE a good person in practice. I will not kill another human and will try with my best effort not to cause harm to anyone or anything, but I am also not naive enough to expect to excel in this field without causing harm to animals/fish.
Also i feel supporting sustainabilty and responsible consumption is an obligation of mine as I progress in my career (As is i have little to no say). Many chefs and people in the biz have made terrific strides in promoting humane treatment of farmed animals, other than the actual killing part, as well as in the promotion of healthy food to the public.
I also feel that it is extremely selfish to pas of Kammic responsibilty to another (As i said own up to your actions)
And I drink booze on occasion (Responsibly). Life is not Black and White, but it is pretty damn grey.
Sorry if the post isnt great but it is my first, Happy to be here!

I was wondering, does working in a restaurant count as wrong livelihood? I used to work at Wendy's. I put condiments on sandwiches, got fries, chicken nuggets and other related things. I definitely don't want to go back to a restaurant, especially a fast food one, but if I did end up back there, is this considered wrong livelihood, since I'm not actually doing the butchering? I've been meaning to ask this for awhile now, and another post prompted me to post it now.

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Most kids are going to experience a bout of acne at some point or another. The majority of kids will get their first breakouts sometime between the late pre-teen years and their early twenties. Most breakouts are manageable, but some kids may experience severe acne that will be challenging physically and emotionally. Breakouts consist mostly of blackheads, pimples, and cysts:
There is a definite difference between acne and the occasional pimple. Having one or two pimples is normal for hormonal teenage skin, whereas excessive amounts of blackheads, pimples or cysts are the hallmarks of acne. Acne also appears persistently and for long periods in the same areas of skin. General over-the-counter treatments will help a pimple outbreak, whereas acne, and in particular severe acne, requires more aggressive treatment and should be treated with medication prescribed by a dermatologist.

|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Outcomes of Interventions for Patients With a Reduced Posterior Dental Arch: A Randomized Controlled Trial
- Patient satisfaction [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
Two different tools will b used to assess primary outcomes
- Oral Impact of Daily Performance (OIDP) tool
- Global Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
- Functioning [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Failure of intervention or patient unhappy with treatment prescribed
- Oral health-related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 3 months ]A Tool will be used to assess primary outcome

|Study Start Date:
|January 2014
|Study Completion Date:
|November 2016
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Removable partial denture Group
Patients with a reduced posterior dental arch will be randomized into one of 2 Groups Group A will receive a removable partial denture prosthesis
Device: Removable partial denture (Chrome Cobalt Distal extension)
For Group A: a distal extension removable denture will be constructed for patients with a reduced posterior dental arch
Other Name: Chrome Cobalt Distal extension denture for Group A patients
Active Comparator: Reduced Posterior Dental Arch Group
Patients with a reduced posterior dental arch and not receiving any Intervention will be compared to the removable partial denture group
Other: A reduced posterior dental arch
For Group B: Patients with a reduced posterior dental arch will not be provided with a removable denture and will be compared to patients in Group A
Other Name: No intervention for Group B patients
Detailed Description:
The aim of this research is to determine whether the daily functional needs and the quality of life of partially dentate adult patients with a reduced posterior dental arch will be satisfied and improved without having the posterior teeth replaced with a removable prosthesis, as compared to having the use of such prosthesis.
Objectives: To conduct a randomized controlled trial amongst partially dentate adult patients with a reduced posterior dental arch (3-5 pairs of posterior occluding pairs of teeth) and where these patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group would be provided with a metal- based removable partial denture (RPDP) to replace the posterior teeth, the other will receive no treatment.
Daily functioning ability and patient satisfaction between the groups (with/without RPDP) would then be compared.

Cirrhosis is a disease in which the liver becomes permanently damaged and the normal structure of the liver is changed. Healthy liver cells are replaced by scarred tissue. The liver is not able to do its normal functions, such as detoxifying harmful substances, purifying blood, and making vital nutrients.
In addition, scarring slows down the normal flow of blood through the liver, causing blood to find alternate pathways. This may result in bleeding blood vessels known as gastric or
esophageal varices.
Causes of cirrhosis include:
Factors that may increase your chance of having cirrhosis include:
Cirrhosis often does not cause symptoms early in the disease process. Symptoms start when the liver begins to fail, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells. Symptom severity depends on the extent of liver damage.
Cirrhosis may cause:
As cirrhosis progresses, it may cause:
Complications of cirrhosis may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Other tests may include:
There is no cure for cirrhosis. The goals of treatment are to keep the condition from getting worse, including:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medication may be advised to:
Liver transplant
—may be done if:
may be used to tie off bleeding blood vessels or to inject drugs to cause clotting. A thin tool with a lighted tip is inserted down the throat to help the doctor see and access the blood vessels, which are located in the esophagus.

8 Ways to Avoid Getting the Dreaded Flu This Year
Sitting face-to-face in a room with an analyst can be intimidating, which is why Shannon Romig, a counselor in Castle Pines, CO, became a walking therapist. When you're strolling outside, you don't have to make eye contact, and you can engage all five senses. "You can stop to touch the trees, smell the flowers, and listen to the babbling creek," says Romig. "I take many clients on sunrise walks to help them forget the past and focus on the promise of a new day. Moving forward physically helps you move forward emotionally." Many studies have found that exercise helps ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. "Plus, the rhythm—left foot, right foot—helps people think. Clients say, 'It's as if my feelings were on the surface. I didn't have to dig,'" adds Romig.
What if the expert who has the most experience treating your condition and with whom you click lives thousands of miles away? Or if you move, making it impossible to see your therapist in person before you're ready to give up your regular appointment? Online video therapy can connect you two, but before it becomes mainstream it needs to leap two hurdles. The first: For a therapist to live in one state and treat you in another, he or she needs to be licensed in both states. The second: Only 20 states treat reimbursement for online therapy as kindly as they do face-to-face sessions, explains TalkSession founder and CEO Melissa Thompson.
