I talk a lot about weight, because I am a fatty. But here’s what I want you to know, before I share this article and some discussion - I am not looking for a reason to be fat. I’m not trying to make excuses. Whether or not you’re fat or skinny - eating well and [...]

Folks, I’m a big believer in individual rights. I think if you have the resources to start a business, you should be allowed to. But I think a pro-life drugstore is a dangerous machination intended to prevent women from taking care of themselves. Let me tell you why.
I’ve mentioned before that women are often prescribed [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and thinking about diets and being fat and all that jazz. Readers have been privy to it. I think no one will be surprised when I say that I am offended by folks on both sides of the fence - folks who simplify the relationship with food [...]
