Let the carping begin! Instead of having Sheryl Crow sing the National Anthem, the candidates should have been required to prove they knew all the words to the song. *Hearing “the land of the free” invocation at the Dem. prez debate is as incongruous as hearing a mud wrestling ad at a Mormon tabernacle. *Wonder how […]
Horrendously-misguided federal dietary advice may have played a key role in one of the biggest public health disasters in recent American history. The federal government is in the process of revising in its dietary guidelines.
