POPSLose Weight The American Way: Sprinkle New 'Tastants' On Your Tripple Cheeseburger; Hold The Diet And Exercise
Borrowing a phrase from another Amplifier, "here we go again." Remember, olestra, everybody? That miracle of miracles where you could eat your way slim with olestra-laced potato chips...uh, right. Most folks ate their way right into the bathroom. Well, from the Golden State now comes "Tastants," sprinkles that you can put on your food that will, allegedly, tell your brain it's time to stop eating. This article from How Life Works is a hoot - in one paragraph it refers to the Tastants as being "virtually odorless and tasteless." In the next paragraph, the substance is described thusly: "Best of all, because it is tasteless and odorless and contains no stimulants and does not directly interact with the digestive system, there are no unpleasant side-effects. None of the horror stories associated with "fat-blockers" or stimulant based weight loss systems." Following that description - well, of course, except for the unpleasant side effect humans call "death," sitting in yo

POPSFast Food Industry’s 7 Most Heinous Concoctions The American fast food industry, in its attempt to survive at the expense of our health, has come up with some creative gastronomical mashups that not only play on our weakness for artery-hardening, sugar-saturated, taste-bud tantalizers but also keeps the U.S. health care system fat with wasted spending. The best way to ‘reform’ this country’s health care system is to stop feeding it with our extremely unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles that leads to heart disease, cancer, stroke, COPD, diabetes, etc. We like the convenience of fast food, but we can force fast food chains to come up with healthier fare by educating ourselves on what a healthy diet actually consists of, and what it doesn’t. Trust me, a healthy diet is not offered at fast food restaurants. Education and a desire to live a longer healthier life is key.

POPSStudy Finds Cheeseburgers More Nutritious Than Baby Food This is not a plug for eating more meat. Eating meat already causes way too many environmental and human health problems. No, this is wakeup call to those of you who are paying exorbitant prices for unhealthy processed junk food disguised as ‘healthy’ baby food. You can very easily make it yourself at home. You would be taking a huge positive step for your baby’s health and your bank account. Plus you would have peace of mind concerning what you are actually feeding your child. Heinz wasn’t the only company that came under scrutiny. Several other companies, such as Baby Balance, were found to make products high in saturated fats and sugars worse than junk food. There’s a link in the clip that gives a good argument for ‘baby-led solids’ a simple, practical, logical and natural method of beginning solid foods whereby your baby simply eats real food, by himself/herself, from the beginning.

POPSNo One Listens Anymore
Listening is a lost art. No one seems to listen anymore! We all have our own agendas and we craft our response before someone gets finished talking. Everyone has feelings and needs that they want others to understand. People of all ages love to be listened to and understood. We recommend the drive-thru method. Just like ordering a cheeseburger! One person must be the listener and one must be the speaker. Whoever is the speaker has the floor without exception until he or she is finished stating feelings. When the first speaker is finished, the roles reverse, giving the other person the floor. This way, you will both have your chance to speak. Once you are done, repeat what you heard. Then ask them, "Do you feel like I understand you?" If yes…you then discuss possible solutions. You must know that the solutions cannot be the only goal here. You are practicing to be a good listener first! Solutions are much easier if you both feel understood. We have several books where we go into mo
