“Obesity Crisis”?????

Repost from July 8, 2008, with a few revisions and additions. I hate the word obesity, to begin with, but who in their infinite wisdom has decided that fat people are in a crisis? Is it because they feel this is one group they can use guilt and fear as…

Fat-shaming

A friend of mine, who is usually so caring and open-minded, but hates Donald Trump, posted a picture of a very fat woman wearing a “Trump 2020” bikini in a comment on my Facebook page. I was hurt, angry, and frustrated. We are in the middle of BLM and Gay…

Quora Question: How did you raise a child to eat what was in front of them and not ask for a separate meal from the rest of the family?

My answer: I just recently posted something on Facebook on this very topic prompted by an article I read (I’ll link the article at the end), so I just share what I said there.. ******** When I had the daycare (and this rule applied to my own kids as well)…

I don’t have a lot of pictures of my siblings and me in the 1950s. Film was expensive then, for a poor family, and flash bulbs or flash…

The Fallout from Roe vs Wade

I’ve spent the past two days reading and watching about what the so-called Supreme Court did based on the desires of just 25% of the country. But when it comes down to it, it’s actually based on their own personal wants and beliefs. So this is my own rant about…
