GOP front-runner Donald Trump is facing new scrutiny for refusing to disavow an endorsement from KKK leader David Duke. But over the weekend Trump received another endorsement, from Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, that should also be cause for concern.
During a rally in Madison, Alabama, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III became the first US senator to endorse Trump. Like the Confederate general he is named after, Sessions has long been a leading voice for the Old South and the conservative white backlash vote, now courted by Trump. Sessions has been the fiercest opponent in the Senate of immigration reform, a centerpiece of Trump's campaign, and has a long history of opposition to civil rights, dating back to his days as a US Attorney in Alabama in the 1980s. The Senate rejected Sessions for a federal judgeship during the Reagan administration because of racist statements he made and for falsely prosecuting black political activists in Alabama.
Here's the backstory:
On March 7, 1965, Albert Turner, a tall, sturdy bricklayer from Marion, Alabama, walked directly behind John Lewis during the infamous Bloody Sunday march in Selma. When Lewis fell from the force of police blows, so did Turner. "I fell down and ran," he said. "Then I fell down again and ran some more."
After the passage of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), Turner became known as "Mr. Voter Registration," working as Alabama field secretary for Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference. After King's assassination, Turner led the mule wagon that carried King's body through the streets of Atlanta.
Because of Turner's work, African Americans gained political control of many counties in the Alabama Black Belt, where you could practically count the number of black voters on one hand in 1965. But the flourishing of African-American political power in the Black Belt didn't sit well with the old white power structure.
In the Democratic primary of September 1984, FBI agents hid behind the bushes of the Perry County post office, waiting for Turner and fellow activist Spencer Hogue to mail 500 absentee ballots on behalf of elderly black voters. When Turner and Hogue left, the feds seized the envelopes from the mail slots. Twenty elderly black voters from Perry County were bused three hours to Mobile, where they were interrogated by law enforcement officials and forced to testify before a grand jury. Ninety-two-year-old Willie Bright was so frightened of "the law" that he wouldn't even admit he'd voted.

Here is what satisfied clients of the Akhtar Law Firm say:
"I would highly recommend Mr. Akhtar for any personal injury case. We used him after my daughter's car accident last year. He was very thorough, always answered my calls and emails promptly, and we got a fair settlement. He is great on pricing and worth every penny. If you want a knowledgeable, fair attorney, Mr. Akhtar would be a great choice."
"I worked with Ali on a personal injury case and I highly recommend him. He worked hard and went above and beyond what I had expected. I'd also like to add that I was in Utah while Ali was in Austin, so everything was done over the phone or via email. Regardless of what your needs may be, I suggest contacting Ali first. If he can't help you out he'll do what he can to put you in contact with a firm that will."
"Ali did exactly what he said he would do. Everything was done in a timely manner and he was the utmost professional in all aspects of his service. I will recommend him to all my friends and anyone that asks for a great injury lawyer, Ali Akhtar is my go to man!"
"Absolutely great in handling my terrible car accident settlement. Was very thorough in taking all the details, handling the police, the hospital bills and the insurance company. Attention to details and documentation was so thorough and excellent, that the claim was adjusted in a couple of months. Would highly recommend him. Very stress free experience."
"Ali was the second Lawyer that I hired in regards to the vehicle accident I was in back in November of 2007. The first lawyer was very unresponsive and actually ended up abandoning all his clients, including myself, when he moved to another state in a total rush. After hiring Ali, he threw himself into my lawsuit and got the ball rolling again. Ali answered all my questions and concerns even if it wasn't asked. When we went to court in August of 2010, he was very knowledgeable in everything thrown our way. There were many times I was ready to throw my hands up and just go about my way. But Ali pulled me through each time. He was not about to let me give up. The outcome of my lawsuit was a total win. I can now move on and live my life without wondering 'What next?'"
"I have been working with Ali for over six months on a commercial litigation case. I have found Ali to be honest, trustworthy and detailed. He provides me regular updates and is very detailed in his feedback. I would highly recommend Ali and his firm to my friends and clients."
"Ali was a great help in getting a business issue settled for me. He advised me on my options and made some great suggestions on how to approach and what the likelihood was for success. It really made things easy for him to handle all the filing and letters. He was very clear on what the fees were and there were no surprises. Very smooth process. I plan on using him for some other business concerns and highly recommend him to anyone needing a business attorney."
"Ali Akhtar is a highly knowledgeable and caring lawyer who I turn to for any legal advice or representation on copyright or employment issues. Would highly recommend!"
"A great professional, Ali responded to my questions in a very concise and truthful manner. When I asked him to do jobs for me, he was very straightforward and reasonable about his fee. Excellent professional to work with."
"Mr. Akhtar got my case dismissed from Portfolio Recovery and Associates in a very timely manner. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. He also did a great job keeping me informed on a regular basis. I would highly recommend Mr. Ali Akhtar."
"I was referred to Ali by the Lawyer Referral Service. I was impressed with Ali and my dealings with him were quite satisfactory. He reviewed my case and advised me of its chances of success in court. Though I chose to represent myself, Ali provided procedural particulars as to what I would and would not be allowed to say or do in court. I found this information on target and invaluable. I highly recommend Ali and should the occasion arise, I will hire him again with no reservations."
"He was very knowledgable and always available to help me with my case. He knows his stuff and is easy to talk to. Never gouged me and was fair with pricing. Thanks."
"Ali Akhtar was GREAT! Extremely helpful and went the extra mile to assist me in an unrelated matter."

They are brought home by the U.S. administration for a promotional tour, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of a Thanksgiving Day football game, all while facing an imminent return to the war. Almost the entire movie takes place during the day of the game, with flashes back to the underlying events and Billy's heroism.

State plans to probe Fred Fuller Oil's pre-buy contractsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 13. 2014 8:07PM
With Fred Fuller Oil and Propane now apparently caught up on fuel deliveries, state officials say they will look into whether the owner has complied with state law — inadequate as it is — that requires some financial guarantees for prebuy oil customers.
New Hampshire consumer protection chief James Boffetti spoke Monday, after spending last week overseeing a crisis of missed and late deliveries for Fuller Oil, a crisis that started during the cold snap of early January.
"Mr. Fuller needs to regain the trust of his customers. That's his job, reassure his customers to make sure they stay with him," said Boffetti, an assistant New Hampshire attorney general.
On Sunday, the state shut down an emergency hotline. The hotline started a week ago today, when the company said its phone system was not working and it could not take orders of customers running short of oil.
More than 1,850 customers used the hotline, according to Gov. Maggie Hassan. A recorded message at the hotline said it is no longer staffed and urged callers to contact Fuller Heating Oil directly.
"It may take a couple times to get through, as they are experiencing heavy call volumes," the message says.
Fuller Oil lawyer Simon Leeming said Monday that the company appreciates the efforts the state undertook when it experienced a perfect storm of cold weather and its telephone equipment malfunctioned.
He said the company had to use overtime to get tanks filled last week. This time of year it is virtually impossible to find and hire additional drivers with the proper licenses to deliver fuel oil, he said.
He said Fuller Oil was caught up with back deliveries by Friday, and the telephone system was properly working. By Saturday, hotline operators were referring callers to the company, he said.
Boffetti said the weather played a role in Fuller Oil's problems. And he said the company absolutely had problems with its telephone equipment.
Boffetti said now he will turn his attention to company documents to see if Fuller complies with state law governing prebuy contracts. The law requires a fuel oil company to secure a futures contract for 75 percent of a heating oil prebuy within seven days of signing a contract. As an alternative, the company can show a bond or a letter of credit.
"As inadequate as that statute is, we want to make sure he's complying with it," Boffetti said. A violation of the law could result in felony charges against the company, a misdemeanor charge against a company official or a civil case that could generate fines of up to $10,000 per violation.
Boffetti said the state could easily obtain a subpoena for the records, but there is no indication from Fuller that the state will have to.
Leeming said, "We've been cooperating since Day One." He would not discuss how the company guarantees its prebuy contracts.
As written, the current law does not guarantee that prebuy money paid by a customer will be available for the next heating season. The attorney general favors a change that would require a dealer to place prebuy money in escrow, obtain a bond or have a letter of credit to purchase oil for the upcoming season.
At present, a prebuy payment is an interest-free loan to an oil company, Boffetti said. "He can use that money for anything he needs to run that business."
A bill supported by the attorney general was set to be killed last week in the House, but it was pulled off the consent calendar. It's expected to be taken up later this month.
Leeming indicated that Fuller Oil will not penalize current prebuy customers who turned to another dealer to fill their tank last week, an action that is a violation of the prebuy contract. But he said he would not discuss damages — such as frozen pipes — that might have taken place when a house ran out of heat.
"As a lawyer," he said, "I'm not allowed to make a blanket statement."

Kid's Meals Remove Soda as Choices
Here is the article on how the fast food chains are removing soda from the kid meal choices on their menus. http://diatribe.org/wendys-makes-major-move-r...
This is all well and good, I suppose. But the fact that they offer juice and chocolate milk doesn't really bode much better except that there might be a little more nutritional value in that. Those items are still loaded with sugar, though hopefully no HFCS. And then you couple it with a burger and fries…well, you get the picture.
I do get it. It does help, but until we really get people to understand the facts about what they are eating, it's all kind of a mute point, at least in my book. I am not faulting the fast food companies. We choose to eat there, we are not forced. However, ignorance is a great tool for them. If more people knew or understood what they are putting in their bodies, it might be a different story.
Growing up, McDonald's was a once in a while treat. Not an everyday or even weekly occurrence. No wonder we are so messed up. A Kid's meal has too much of everything for an adult, much less a child.
Here is a Happy Meal Nutritional Info:

Education Education Education… that is the only way we are going to ever make a bigger impact on how people feed their bodies. So many people have no idea how devestating the effects of loading up on all the fat, carbs, cholestorol, sodium are!! I know 3 weeks ago I had no clue how bad some of the things I was eatting were, still learning every day about the human body and what it should and shouldn't intake.
Also, SUPPORT, so many of the people that do know don't do what they need to because of the preassures of society, the food chains littering our streets and the quick easy Carb loaded sugar filled treats that adorn each row at the grocery stores. While I under stand the marketing point of the candy at cash registers I don't see whey out of the 50+ treats offerd on those shelves they can't have some healthier options mixed in there some where. It makes maintaing a diet hard and as a newly diagnosed diabetic it adds preasure as I try to completely change my diet, recovering carb-aholic here. While I manage well and love my "sugar-free" pudding I dread going to the store especially since I live in a small town with only brookshires and walmart to choose from for almost 40+ miles. If more people got together to help make little changes in things like that I believe the whole nation would benefit, as someone said in a reply down the page, her grandson loves greek yogurt and berries as a treat but how would they know if he had never been offered it?
Since my diagnosis I am becoming increassingly passionate about my friends and families health care and try to warn them off the tranding "fast food diet" that so many have in the fast paced on the go society we live in.I spend time educating them on things my dietician and I discussed and about healthy habits and carb counting to lose or maintain wait as well as other factors that need to be considered in these types of diatary plans with hope maybe the repetition will eventually get thru. All in all tho someone has to make the choice to be healthier or be motivated like many of us to keep our bodies healthy.
It is nice they are doing that but kids can always get soda elsewhere. I work for a hospital and they removed all regular soda from the eating establishments in our hospital and the vending machines.
That is wonderful…but my experience has been the exact opposite…I expect nasty vending machines at school…and I expect them in the general population hubs…but in hospitals and doctor's offices..I would think more healthy snacks would exist…They don't…my husband had out patient surgery a couple mos back…I was at the hospital for about 8 hours…thank God I brought atkins shakes and nuts with me..because the vending machines were a wasteland of trash…sad but true…
I've worked in public schools in one job or another for years. I've seen the change in the food that kids use to eat and what they eat now. The war is on fat and it's been like that for years now. With the school lunch programs, they take out the fat but feed the kids high-carbs and tons of sugary foods. After they eat their school lunch, most school have a snack bar where they sell candy, chips, ice cream bars, and just about any kind of junk food you can think of. But that's okay right!? Because the enemy isn't with sweets and junk food, it's with fat. When I had my heart attack a year ago and when I was in the hospital, the kitchen would send me fat-free, unsalted, bland food, but lots of carbs and sweet thing to eat. It seems that all emphases is on obesity and heart related problems but not on diabetes. And I believe that a lot of people believe that sugar is one of the basic food groups and that we need a large percent of this or we will die. I know that cardiologist only see fat as they enemy, but really!? Shouldn't a dietary department of a hospital know that you don't feed sweet sugary foods to a patient that has diabetes? Are we not creating diabetes in our country? We can't trust the food industries either. We are the ones that have to take control of our diets as well as our children's diets and quit depending on the various establishments to do it for us.
Won't make a difference and I will tell you why..Parents that frequent places like McDonalds are NOT the type to cook healthy at home either..sorry but they aren't..these children will just get their soda or Kool-Aid or other sugar drinks somewhere else..When my kids were growing up McDonalds was a treat..They were allowed to pick what they wanted to eat on their birthday's…the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas eve(Because who wants to cook the day before you have to COOK a HUGE meal…)..More often than not they chose McDonalds or Pizza…Good parents feed their children well and NOT crap on a regular basis…my grandson's favorite dessert is plain greek yogurt loaded with fresh mixed berries…it wouldn't be he favorite dessert if it were never offered to him…really just that simple..
I have to agree with you on this for sure. Though sometimes it's not so much because they want to, but that the food is so cheap, it's actually affordable and fills tummies more than what they can buy in the grocery store. Sadly, that happens way more than I would hope. But like my sister in law...it beat cooking in her mind for a long time. YIKES!
To a certain degree I agree with you on this..brown rice is more expensive than white…good whole grain breads more expensive than white bread…BUT..there are many healthy foods that can be purchased and prepared on the cheap and fed to children..It is just a certain group of parents don't bother…my children loved lentil soup and split pea soup growing up…hot, healthy and home made…They were fed eggs or yogurt and fruit in the morning..eggs are one of the least expensive most nutritious foods on earth…and when you buy in season fruit..that isn't that bad either…my children ate peanut butter ..loved hummus and babagounoush (spelling??)…and one of their favorite things in the world to eat was Jew's mellow soup…I am not pretending to be perfect..my children ate crap..just NOT on a regular basis…My children love white bean stew…why do they love white bean stew…because they grew up eating it once a week…white beans (dried, soaked and cooked) in a tomato base with whatever leftover meat I had from the day before in the house..stretch the meat through two days..just by adding 50 cents worth of beans and 25 cents worth of tomato paste and some spices…YOU CAN feed your children healthy on the cheap..you just have to care enough about them to do it..
Oh, yes I agree 100%. What is lacking are the skills to do so. It takes time to cook, and many are just not taught to do that. My SIL was like that. My step daughter is like that. She can cook, but is too lazy to do it. Sad, because when she does cook, she's actually pretty good. It's just a shame really.
That is why the link Steve posted is so great. It talks about getting your kids to experience different foods and letting them know it doesn't have to come out of a can, box or freezer.
I think it was in the movie "Super Size Me" where the guy ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days. He followed a family of 5 that ate the junk because they just had no concept of how to shop healthy. There are people who live in what they call "food deserts" where this is no place in their area to buy anything but junk food. Efforts are made to change those things, but it takes a lot to reach people who would rather eat a nugget than saute up some veggies with some chicken breast in it. It's a very sad state of affairs, specially in a country that has so much, but we don't even see it.

a very interesting read if you have the time
OMG this is my husband. LOL. Very interesting article and video. I grew up being taught that you have to try it at least once and my parents were not afraid to put different things on my plate. This was developed even more as I traveled and ate native fare along the way. I was always put off when they would offer me an "american" version of the food I wanted to try. I wanted the whole experience. We need to share that with out kids and open them up to choices. I will say that my husband has grown in his willingness to try new things and does much better. But if he had it his way, it would be battered, fried and served with fries or mashed potatoes.
Kids are sponges with minds and tastes that we can encourage with new things. That is a great article. And parents....get a backbone. If I didn't like something that was served, I went without. I can only remember a few things that just turned me off as a kid.
Have any of you read the nonfiction book Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss. Before I write anymore let me first say that I don't believe that poor nutrition & many of the problems hooked to kiddos eating fast food is entirely the fault of the "Food Giants". But, this book was so fascinating! Chapters about all the science that goes into finding the perfect science & food formulas to attract people to fast food chains. Grocery store food placements & SO much more. I sometimes wonder if the fast food chains feel like nutrition is all people talk about these days & if they make small changes like the options of "healthier options" - (I agree with Gabby - every little bit helps, but also agree with her that the options they are offering aren't that much better) - I can't help but feel like they feel like the "healthier options" make them seem like they are on the side of helping out w poor eating habits, nutrition, etc, but really it's more like a remix of the same things. And, if they get you in the door - odds are people will still get … well, fast food. I wish I was more like the people that can walk into McDonald's, order coffee, & be on their way. My - whatever you want to say - doesn't roll like that ;)
Gabby, did you say you have a book? Please share the details.
Ps That book is really fascinating - even though I take all things with a grain of salt - Please pardon my rambling for a second…(this is what I mean by geek: loving all things computer, tech, movies, music, & books) : quote from this book: "Philip Morris (the cigarette giant) became the largest food company by acquiring the two largest food manufacturers, General Foods & Kraft. A trove of confidential tobacco industry records-81 million pages & growing-opened to the public viewing by the states' legal settlement w/ the industry reveals that top officials at Philip Morris were guiding the food giants through their critical moments, from rescuing products when sales foundered to devising a strategy for dealing w/ the public's mounting health concerns. In fact, the same year that the CEO's met to consider obesity, Philip Morris was undergoing its own strategic shift in how it discussed & handled the health aspects of nicotine. Bludgeoned by media attacks & the public's growing concern about smoking, the company privately warned & prepared its food executives to deal with similar bloody battles over the heart of their operations: namely, the salt, sugar, & fat."
I know that fast food & the other food giants are big business & they have to make money. I also know that it's truly the family & person, like myself, that ultimately makes or doesn't make the right decision for my health. But, I must confess that I had NO idea that Philip Morris own Kraft & General foods. I didn't believe it until I googled it. That was a little jarring for me.
I had no idea that there are buildings that have workers doing nothing but testing for something called the "bliss point" in food giant's foods that are shelved in our supermarkets. A paragraph or two talking about the scientist testing foods & their parallel with something called a "tongue map". I was googling things in this book left & right cause some seemed so absurd to be true. But, most of it was even found on the actual company's websites - like Kraft.
I am a bit naive & this book was a good thing for me to sink my teeth into - pardon the pun. I imagined people sitting in a testing lab tasting several version of the newest flavor of Cheez-Its or testing the shelf life of apples pre cut & put in those little baggies for kiddos in the produce department. But my brain & eyes both expanded with this read. But, I still take it all in with a grain of salt & find it interesting. Thanks for letting me ramble!
I teach classes to help people get off processed foods. You do not need to eat any processed foods and you will be healthy. It is not difficult. A whole generation does not know what whole foods are or how to prepare them.
The huge rise in diabetes and obesity is because of processed foods. If you are diabetic, you must not eat processed food if you want to stay healthy. Not all diabetes is caused by processed food, some is genetic. I have the genetic kind. I stay healthy by not eating processed foods.
I have not read that book, but I have read a lot on that type of subject. Sweet Misery is one that will have you hotter than tin roof as well.
I agree, that it all comes down to money. Who gets the lion share of the public's hard earned dollars is the one who get's you coming back for more and more. There is no innocence involved in what they feed us. But there is knowledge that we can take and break that cycle. It's hard and it's inconvenient and it down right hurts sometimes. But once you are free from that grab, it gives you greater control over all kinds of things.
Oh yes the fruit juice is a big no no, it has more sugar and carbs than a soda. Go with water or seltzer water with some flavor.
Well I can't really say about todays kids, they eat a happy meal then they go home and eat junk food and get on the video games. Back when I was growing up we got a small burger, small fry and a small soda, and went home and run, play, ride bikes, throw football or baseball. Other words we had a very active life style and our metabolism was wide open, if todays kids were like that, a happy meal shouldn't be a problem.
New research on using flavored milks as a recovery drink after exercising. Compared with several market choices whole flavored milk came out on top of muscle milk…wish Ii could fine the article…looking
As to your original question I think the people who use these places as their source of dinner for their families it won't matter. Until schools focus and teach all children that eating fresh and cooking at home save money and calories. END of story…my children still don't eat as FAST food joints except for three places…Chick fi let , Good times and Chipolte. Then only for a treat or too tired no food in house to cook nites. which is 5 % of the time
Found the article…Recovery drinks by the numbers Fit Food Denver Post Tuesday Feb 10, 2015
Aim for 4 grams of carbohydrates to 1 gram of protein says Joel Stager, an Indiana University professor who studies sports performance. Here are the carbs to protein ratios in four drinks:

Why on earth is it up to the schools to teach our children nutrition? We seem all too eager to shift the responsibilities of raising our children from the parents to the schools.
I am a former educator and trust me it needs to be taught just like everything else that MANY parents actually weren't taught . I don't assume to know what generation you are from, but if all of the current generations were taught I as was, we wouldn't even be having this discussion!Jus sayin
I'm 60 years old.
My son (30) knows nutrition and we (his parents and grandparents) are teaching his children (5,2 and newborn) about nutrition.
If left up to the government (schools) I have no doubt they'd be teaching the dietary guidelines that the dept. of agriculture lays out … cholesterol and saturated fats are bad and 1/2 your daily caloric intake should come from carbs …that sort of stuff … you know, the information that has created our modern health issues.
Uh, No Thanks!
I don't know Steve, I guess I'm of the opinion it would be nice to have some assist from the school system where parents seem to have left off. I'm close to your age, so I can remember we didn't have foodservice in my elementary/grade school. Nor did we have vending or many convenience foods (talking late 60's early 70's here), we brought a lunchbox. We did however get a pint of milk each lunch period. If most of our parents knew about nutrition back then, they ignored it. No reason to put veggies or fruit in our lunch boxes – we wouldn't eat them. At home we didn't eat poorly (no fast/microwave food yet), but we ate a lot. By today's standards, you and I shouldn't have been able to become obese, but we did.
Once I hit high school, we were pretty much left to our own choices without restrictions, and even though we covered "nutrition" in home-economics class, we kind of looked at that as a "minimum" not as a balance. There were 4 of us in the family, if a recipe made 6 servings, it was still divided by 4 and we were pretty much required to finish it (don't want to waste food after all).
I guess maybe now that I've talked through this, I'm thinking nutrition should be taught as any other "life skill" that's taught, and yes it does need to be revised to today's standards and availabilities. Trying to ENFORCE today's joke of a nutritional standard by setting up available foodservice, I'll agree would be ludicrous. I think educated kids are better prepared to make better decisions on their own.
We'll agree there - I don't want government "governing" nutrition any more than health care. There are however some absolutes in education though (2+2 will always equal 4) and I think one of those fundamentals should include the absolutes of nutrition.
We have several "non-government" run charter and private schools here in NC that take a very active role in child nutrition - they have brought home ec back into the school - and parents are required to participate in student meal plans. Yes, affluence does have some role here, but I know it can be done, and really should to prevent the impending epidemic.
In every way, educating our kids is the most important point. My step daughter, though an adult now, is learning from me and that is eye opening for her. She is enjoying the meat and veggie lifestyle we have now and has started looking more closely at what she eats....at home anyway. At least it's a start.
It was a wake up call for me when diagnosed - I guess you can really never know how stupid you are.
As teens we always saw the horrible picture of smokers lungs, the car wrecks from drinking and driving, even the effects of unprotected sex.
Tell you what - if you'd have shown a picture of me in a speedo at 286 pounds, lots of folks would have put down the chips.
LOL...I have a similar picture that would have been equally as scary.
Thanks to you and your inspiration I have been eating so much better and though not quite as paleo as you, (I am including dairy) I have done very well in the turn around area. Lost 17 more pounds and still going. Thanks my friend, visual or not....LOL
As I am teaching my families..5 generations, not the dietary guidelines but some is BETTER than NONE. I am not saying you need to be taught..I am just saying that there are many who do…I taught for 23 years and would have gone for more except health issues forced me to retire. Not all people are obese or diabetic, we are lucky to have forums like this one to be able to vent and give information back and forth. I am 61 so we are from the same generation. My youngest is 31 and the oldest is 37..so now between the different sets of parents and combined families there are 36 who know proper nutrition and I would venture to say 90% of them are growing their own food or purchasing it. My husband and I were growing our own ORGANIC produce before it became the "IN" thing to do!
no argument from me that we need better nutrition education (information). I just don't want to see the schools as the means.
I would really like to see more pressure put on fast food "restaurants" and processed food manufacturers to stop marketing to children.
Let's face it…food is a drug…some people just can,t say no. To there selfs or there kids..god forbid one of there 20year old kids might cry or whin.
teaching your child sound nutrition is perhaps the greatest gift a parent can give
I was blessed with a son that "got it" and now blessed to be able to watch him and his wife raise my grandchildren with a good understanding of healthy eating.
Thankfully my daughter gets it. She has taken healthy eating even further that I have. Unfortunately my son didn't catch on and married a woman who is known on a first name basis by everyone who works at a drive-thru in her area. She is clueless when it comes to health and nutrition. And I know her parents. They didn't raise her that way. I feel sorry for my grandchildren.
So when they are with you set the example I bet they won't like it at first but you might be pleasantly surprised. One of my grandsons married a gal like the one you are describing. Her daughter from a previous marriage…loves it when I am cutting up raw vegetables for soup or just a cold plate. She eats raw red cabbage, carrots,jicama,red bell peppers, loved out fermented veggies..we go for color for nutrition. She is 6 along with her aunt who is also 6 lol they are quite a team and besties
I think McDonald's was one of the first fast-food places to provide the nutritional values for their food, so that was a good thing…even if much of the food may be considered "toxic". I loved the Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell but haven't indulged much in it since it has 45 grams of carb…but my friends know I like Taco Bell and gave me 2 gift cards to it at Christmas time…haven't used them yet and may get close to next Christmas before they are used up.
I have to wonder what is actually in the meat for these meals. How can they sell them so cheaply if there is any kind of quality ingredient in them?
Hi Gabby,
People are finally starting to think about they eat. I teach classes about whole foods, blood sugar and weight control, so I see the increasing interest.
My classes are free of charge so anyone can afford them. They can also read about a healthy diet on the internet. They really need help with understanding whole foods and what they do to the body. There are not enough teachers and classes are so expensive. What I teach in my free classes is equal to what a business in my town teaches for a commitment of $1,000 minimum. If I advertised more than writing an article for a local "Natures Pathways" magazine
I would be swamped.
I am happy that soda has been taken out of the Happy Meals for Children. I prefer to get my grandkids the juice plus a glass of water and then put just a little of the juice in the water for them to drink. It flavors the water but doesn't count as a whole glass of juice. I have been told and passed it on to my children that we should eat fruit not drink fruit juice.
Yes eating whole fruit gives us more for the tasting. Fiber, and other nutrients that often get lost in the process of making the juice. Unless it's cold pressed and not heated. But I would rather have an apple over 4 oz of apple juice any day.

Technical vs. Behavioral Skills
EUC with HCI: Why It Matters
Whether from a staffing firm or straight out of college, there are some capabilities that workers will either have or will never learn. "Technical skills are important, but 80 percent of what our clients are looking for is behavioral," Mauney says.
Clients want staff that not only have experience in their specific vertical industry, but who can interact well with their team. To that end, Robert Half provides its consultants with business and technical training. Many clients hire the consultant permanently if the relationship is working, and Robert Half is happy to see the match cemented. Mauney encourages all her clients to continue training their staffs as part of an overall retention strategy.
With good reason. More than salary, soft benefits like training make workers stay in the job they have, according to a report issued in August by research firm Computer Economics Research. A CER survey of 71 U.S. IT organizations found that training and other non-economic factors such as flexible scheduling, paid time off and social environment have a stronger correlation with lower turnover than factors such as base salaries, retirement and savings programs and incentive pay. Though important, salaries aren't everything. "If they're just looking for the best pay, they'll go on to the next company that pays better when they get the opportunity," says CER Research Director John Longwell. Perks like a four-day work week or two days a week of telecommuting might be harder to give up.
Reducing the churn rate is imperative as businesses are about to lose a large portion of their workforce not to other companies, but to retirement. By 2016, 70 million people are expected to exit the workforce, while only 40 million will enter. Technology is expected to be one of the harder-hit sectors, as not only will the jobs be vacated, but many new jobs in areas like software development and networking will be created during the next 10 years, according to the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It's not just the pending retirement exodus that has today's IT leaders nervous for the future of the systems they're investing in today. Since 1998, there's been nearly a 50 percent decline in the number of students choosing a major in computer science at Ph.D.-granting colleges and universities, according to the Computing Research Association, an association of computer science academic departments and related organizations. A painful combination--the dot-com bust in the late 1990s, the post-9/11 tightening of visas for foreign students (who often assimilated into the U.S. workforce after graduation) and the perception that domestic IT jobs are unreliable in an offshore-happy environment--has created an anti-technology sentiment among college students in the last decade. The trend is only beginning to show signs of reversing, but not by much. In 2007, only 75 more students chose a computer science major than in 2006.
Here's a look at how four IT managers are handling the talent crunch:

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Once again, the Edmonton Oilers found a way to give their opponent fits.
Devan Dubnyk made 35 saves to record his first shutout of the season and the Oilers won their second game in a row, topping the Philadelphia Flyers 2-0 on Thursday.
Dubnyk, who earned his third career shutout, said this game and the recent 6-1 win over Calgary showed what the team is capable of doing.
"There's nothing really magic about what we're doing," he said. "We're using our speed, winning every single race to loose pucks, we're coming back and creating turnovers the other way.
"It's been great to watch and it's fun because there's no secret behind it and no reason why it can't continue."
Jordan Eberle had a goal and an assist and Taylor Hall also scored for the Oilers (24-30-6), who have the second-worst record in the NHL.
"We're a good team," Eberle said. "Maybe our record doesn't show it, but we're capable of playing with the best teams, and beating them, we've shown that we can.
"Our problem is consistency. When we play our game the way we can, we can roll with the best of them."
"I thought we played pretty well in the first period but in the second we didn't keep with the plan like we should have and it cost us the game," Flyers forward Claude Giroux said.
Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell said no team can afford to take a mental break in games at this time of the season.
"When you take 20 minutes off in a game against a skilled group like this it is tough to win," he said. "This is crunch time. Even when you are playing a team that's near the bottom of the Western Conference, there are no easy games."
Edmonton broke the deadlock on a power play at 3:26 of the second. Hall was able to find an inch to squeeze the puck between the post and Ilya Bryzgalov's skate for his 22nd of the season and a 1-0 Oilers lead.
Edmonton went up 2-0 at 8:04 of the second as Eberle picked up a loose puck and sent a shot from the slot that bounced off Bryzgalov's inside pad before trickling across the goal line.
It was the 27th goal and 60th point this season for the second-year forward.
Late in the period, Hartnell was given a kneeing penalty after taking a run at Magnus Paajarvi who had to be helped off the ice with what looked like a knee injury.
"I was just finishing my check," Hartnell said. "It was the end of a long shift and part of my game is being physical. Hopefully he is all right.
"I don't really know what happened to him. But it wasn't my intent to injure."
The Flyers came close to getting on the board five minutes into the third as a Jakub Voracek shot got past Dubnyk, but was fished to safety by Oilers defender Tom Gilbert before it crossed the goal line.
The Oilers were awarded a penalty shot with just under three minutes to play as Kimmo Timonen hauled down Shawn Horcoff on a short-handed breakaway.
Horcoff was stopped on the opportunity.
"The boys really played hard tonight," said Oilers associate coach Ralph Krueger, who is serving as head coach while Tom Renney recovers from a concussion.
"The defensive effort was fantastic, to keep the best offensive team in the league down to 13 five-on-five chances."
The highlight of the scoreless first period was a marathon fight between the Oilers' Darcy Hordichuk and Philadelphia's Jody Shelley eight minutes into the game.
The Flyers had 14 shots on Dubnyk to Edmonton's nine on Bryzgalov in the first.
However, the Oilers had the best chance of the opening period as Hall made a nice backhand feed from behind the net to Ales Hemsky, but Bryzgalov came across his crease quickly to make the stop.
- Notes: It was the only meeting between the two teams this season.
- Oilers coach Tom Renney missed his fifth game with a concussion after taking a puck in the head in practice. He may return for Saturday's game against Phoenix.
- Associate coach Ralph Krueger has been guiding the team in his absence.
- The Oilers were still without rookie sensation Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but he has started practicing with contact and could return from a shoulder injury as soon as Saturday.
- Besides the long-term injuries to forward Tom Sestito (groin) and defenseman Chris Pronger, the Flyers fielded a healthy team.
- Both teams have been strong on the power play this season as the Oilers came into the game fourth and the Flyers are fifth in the league.
- Flyers forward Jaromir Jagr needs one point to move into eighth place in NHL scoring. He is tied with Joe Sakic with 1,641 points.

A party joint, giga joint, cannon...whatever your term for it is, refers to any joint that's big. How big? Well, usually MUCH bigger than one rolled with a king-sized rolling paper. One that requires multiple papers. Today on Lex's World I'll show you how to roll a larger-than-normal joint using three or more regular sized papers. We will do it with three, but you can easily see how you can expand these instructions to pretty much any size.
A lot of viewers don't know this about me, but I'm a huge Hunger Games Fan. Which of course means I'm currently very excited for the upcoming final two movies. If you happen to be a Hunger Games fan...the kind who read the novels....AND you like fanfiction, check out my Mockingjay Expanded Ending for all you out there who just wanted more 'ending' when you were reading Mockingjay: here
Also, side note for regular viewers: The schedule of airing changes a bit as of today; check out the About Lex page for more info...basically, being a subscriber has become even more important.
You look EXACTLY like I imagined you to.
Awesome mega-joint, and it was cool seeing your face! I've watched a lot of your videos, but where else do you see it (or is that a secret?)
oh yeah, thats a secret....
you are a handsome dude! no homo intention just saying.
Hey Lex, Finally we get to see your face more often, much more personal, although I would've watched your videos regardless. It is freezing here in Australia and catching up on a few videos inside is about all I want to do right now. Great vid as always Lex!

Independence plans published
Plans for Scotland's "Independence Day" have been published by the Scottish Government.
Live updates
Scotland would have to 're-negotiate' world relations
Advice on what will happen to Scotland if it became independent from the UK will be published today.
A summary of the report, issued from Downing Street ahead of the publication, revealed that it was an "unusual step" for the Government to publish full legal opinion from experts.
David Cameron launches defence of United Kingdom
David Cameron has launched a defence of the United Kingdom as his government prepares to put the "facts" about Scottish independence to the public.
While people in Scotland will make the decision in autumn next year, the implications will have obvious impacts across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Conservative leader said.
"Britain is admired around the world as a source of prosperity, power and security," he said.
"Those glorious Olympics last summer reminded us just what we were capable of when we pull together: Scottish, English, Welsh, Northern Irish, all in the same boat - sometimes literally.
"If you told many people watching those Olympics around the world that we were going to erect barriers between our people, they'd probably be baffled. Put simply: Britain works. Britain works well. Why break it?"
Cameron spoke out one day before the government publishes the first in a series of analysis papers about Scotland's role in the union.
Scottish government draws up independence plans
The Scottish government has drawn up a detailed plan for transition to independence, according to BBC Scotland.
The plans, based on a "yes" vote in the 2014 referendum, independence day would be some time in Scotland in 2016. Elections to the independent parliament would follow in May.
The paper calls for UK ministers to open talks on transition now, but the prime minister has said he will not pre-negotiate independence.
Scottish Independence 'would deliver faster growth'
Independence would "provide Scotland with the opportunity to capture and deliver faster sustainable economic growth, with greater opportunities to tackle key challenges in sustainability and inequality over the long-term", according to a report by The Fiscal Commission Working Group.
It described Scotland as a "wealthy country" which is "on a par with many other successful independent countries".
The panel of experts highlighted a number of key strengths in the Scottish economy, including the energy sector, life sciences, food and drink and tourism.
But it said the country faced a number of challenges "not least tackling the long-term growth gap between Scotland and other comparable countries".
Scotland warned against independence from UK
The UK Government will today reveal the advice it has been given on what would happen if Scotland became independent from the rest of the UK.
According to Professors James Crawford and Alan Boyle, who set out their opinions in the paper, Scotland would be treated as a new country, having to renegotiate its relationship with world bodies.
The Scottish Government issued a paper last week, which assuming a Yes vote occurred in autumn 2014, could see negotiations between Scottish ministers and the UK Government, EU and international organisations concluded by March 2016.
Today's publication does not include specific advice from the European Commission on the implications of Scottish independence in the EU.
SNP: Govt report shows 'breathtaking arrogance'
The government is making its case against Scottish Independence today.
David Cameron is releasing the first in a series of reports, highlighting how the UK and Scotland benefit from the union.
Speaking in an ITV Daybreak interview Stuart Maxwell from the Scottish National Party said the UK Government's report today showed a "breathtaking arrogance" over their "supposed" recognition of Scotland as an equal partner.
Independence Union case
The UK government is setting out its case for the Union, ahead of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.
Westminster says it will explain in detail why people and companies in Scotland benefit from its place in the UK.
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore began outlining the Government's vision if the Union continues.
Dumfriesshire MSP welcomes road improvements
Dumfriesshire MSP Elaine Murray said she is 'relieved' that the Scottish Government is investing 36 million pounds to improve the safety of roads in the south of Scotland.
Major improvement works will take place on the A77 Symington to Bogend Toll, A75 Dunragit Bypass and the A75 Hardgrove to Kinmount.
Borders MP slams independence paper
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore, a Borders MP, has accused the Scottish Government of creating a distraction from the bigger issues.
Independence report to 'pressure UK Government'
The SNP say the paper puts pressure on the UK Government to open talks about the transition process before the vote in 2014.

The 2013 'Brunate' is another remarkable Barolo from Vietti in this vintage. Sourced from the historical Brunate cru in La Morra. Brunate is located on the south side towards Barolo, with 4,600 plants per hectare with with vines averaging 50 years old planted to soils which are composed of a mix of limestone and clay. This Barolo was aged for approximately 30 months between French oak barrels and Slovenian oak casks and offers wonderful aromatic nuances of ripe strawberries, raspberries and cherries woven together with sweet spices, fresh spring florals with underlying hints of mint, leather and tar all taking shape in the glass. This continues to impress with its exceptional purity and elegant profile, as it expands beautifully across the palate with its gorgeous velvety texture. The balance, focus and precision this demonstrates is outstanding, as it seamlessly leads up to the long finish, which leaves behind lovely flavors of fresh red fruits and spice notes lingering on. Overall, the 2013 Brunate is a simply stunning wine from Luca Currado, and while it certainly offers some early appeal, this is ultimately a Barolo which will continue to evolve and age gracefully for many years to come.

In August and September, we are drowning in peaches around here. Our favorite pick-your-own farm, Rose Hill Farm (now TimTheFarmer's farm) has amazing peaches in late summer/early fall and there's NOTHING better than a fresh-off-the-tree, perfectly ripe peach. When they're ripe coming off the tree, however, they don't have a long shelf life, so we're always scrambling to eat them up or put them up before they go bad. By the time October rolls around, our shelves are full of jams, sauces, and canned peaches and our freezer has gallon baggies of peach slices for smoothies.
Yes, that's whiskey. I was prepping for our peach whiskey BBQ sauce. Yum!
Two summers ago there were no peaches up in these parts because of a late frost – so last summer, when they were plentiful, I may have gone a bit overboard with the picking. I'd exhausted our canning options, so I turned to another trick I use is to preserve the awesome flavors of late summer: making baby food. Just kidding. Sort of. I take the method moms use to make homemade baby food (pureeing and freezing in ice cube trays) and apply it to anything I can puree. We eat pesto year round (or until February when we run out) with this method. I pureed tons of peaches (everything but the pit, duh) in our NutriBullet, poured the puree into ice cube trays, and then stored in freezer baggies.
The peach puree is so good I could (and sometimes do) eat it with a spoon. There is nothing like the flavor of perfectly ripe peaches. Yum! One of our favorite recipes from this peach puree is Peach Vinaigrette. It is super quick and easy to make and immediately takes a salad from typical to AMAZING. It pairs really well with goat cheese, red peppers, red onions, or sliced almonds and seriously takes under 5 minutes to make.
Don't worry if you don't have peach puree on hand! Just grab some frozen peaches from the grocery store and put 8-10 in a bowl to defrost about 30 minutes before you're ready to make your salad dressing. Then, puree them up and follow the directions below. Easy peasy.
This dressing is awesome in the dead of winter because it brings back the taste of summer. Enjoy!
I should throw a disclaimer in here. I realize fruit can be off limits in the hard core inner cirlce of the paleo community. We, however, love our fresh local fruits and are completely ok with eating them in limited quantities. I don't want to live in a world without peaches, ok?
- 5 peach puree cubes* or 8 frozen peach slices or 1 fresh peach (pitted)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Defrost peach puree.
- Combine all ingredients in blender, except the honey, and puree until smooth. Taste your dressing - if it needs a little extra sweetness, add a bit of honey in (and puree again) until it's just right.
- Store extra dressing in the fridge for up to a week.
- * I take the frozen peaches out when I start dinner - 30-40 minutes before I plan to make the dressing - to allow them to defrost. You could also microwave for 15 seconds at a time.

Under new parent PepsiCo, Quaker Oats Co. hopes to continue the momentum of its granola bar business with the January launch of new chocolate-covered Quaker Chewy Dipps and a Bites version of its Fruit & Oatmeal Bars, which will collectively be supported with an estimated $30 million in media. The ads were created by Interpublic Group of Cos.' Foote, Cone & Belding Worldwide, Chicago, which is losing the PepsiCo accounts to a new Omnicom Group agency.
Kellogg Co., meanwhile, will aim to reassert its leadership in the category with the February launch of a new line of Nutri-Grain Yogurt Bars, followed in May with Nutri-Grain Minis. Together, the new products will receive upwards of $20 million in marketing support in 2002 via Bcom3 Group's Leo Burnett USA, Chicago.
The high expenditures follow a year of minimal spending for the snack bar brands. Quaker spent a mere $7.5 million in measured media on its Chewy Granola and Fruit & Oatmeal Bars in January through August, while Kellogg spent only $5 million in the same period for Nutri-Grain and Rice Krispies Treats, according to Taylor Nelson Sofres' CMR.
Although Quaker is second to Kellogg in the $1.5 billion snack and granola bar category, its sales grew 7.4% to $246 million for the 52 weeks ended Oct. 7-despite a lack of advertising. During the same time frame, Kellogg sales in the category fell 10.2% to $299 million, according to Information Resources, Inc.
The decline, according to Jeff Johansen, VP-Morning and Wholesome Snacks at Kellogg, was the result of Kellogg's decision to cut 14 varieties (roughly $12 million worth) of the brands to fit them into newly acquired Keebler Co.'s direct sales force.
With its new Nutri-Grain Yogurt Bars, Kellogg hopes to capitalize on the strong nutritional halo of yogurt-and its household penetration of more than 70%-with an eye toward expanding the snack/granola bar category, currently found in only 27% of households.
The line also aims to combat General Mills' success with Milk `n Cereal Bars. The new Minis nod to the hand-to-mouth snacking trend that has driven explosively successful mini versions in other categories.
Nutri-Grain's marketing effort bows in January, initially touting the base brand, being restaged with 10% more fruit and new package graphics. Introductory ads for the new varieties will follow in spring and summer. Instead of relying mainly on TV advertising for the brand as it has historically, Kellogg will broaden its "Respect yourself in the morning" campaign created by Burnett to include print, in-store and out-of-home media-including bar coasters reminding New Year's Eve revelers of New Year's Day resolutions.
Rice Krispies Treats advertising, due back in January after a year's hiatus, is also handled by Burnett.
Quaker, meanwhile, will put "record levels" of support behind its three new indulgent Dipps varieties, intended for teens and adults, and Fruit & Oatmeal Bites, positioned to moms as fun snacks for young kids.
Quaker will also relaunch its fast-growing Crispy Minis Rice Cakes brand under the Quakes name in January to capitalize on the product's crunchiness and the Quaker equity, according to company spokesman Mark Dollins.
The initiatives for the Quaker brands will be handled by FCB.
