My wife has been away ... and the minimum standards in our house have shifted.
Sometimes my son and I look at each other and ask: "Should I eat this?"
Here are some simple rules to help if you find yourself asking the same question.

Well, that certainly gives an answer ... not sure it's the right one?

Helen Keller, the American author, political activist and lecturer, learned to talk despite being deaf and blind.
Here she is with her instructor and lifelong companion, Anne Sullivan. In this footage (from 1930) Sullivan shows the way how Helen Keller learned to talk.

Fit or Fat? Data Says ... "Fatter than Ever".
It’s no secret that the US has a weight problem, but did you realize how fast the country got fat?
The U.S. has gone from a relatively thin country to a place where the norm in many areas is to be overweight or even obese.
Look How Fast It Happened. The chart starts in 1985.

This animated map is jaw-dropping (or belt-busting). Notice the how the rate of change accelerates when it reaches the 2000s … many states burst from around a 20% obesity level to over 30%.
It is interesting to note that Colorado remains the only state (in blue) with less than 20% obesity.
