When it comes to the price of food, I think it's extremely important to remember that a food cannot be judged by its sticker price alone. Read More... More on Nutrition

As we celebrate our country's birthday and reflect on how we define American, I'd like to honor the heroes in my life. They are members of my personal underground railroad who refuse to sit back and allow undocumented immigrants to slip into the cracks of a broken system. Read More...
I was unprepared for the piercing sadness of this hazy recollection, steeped in sorrow but told in the same calm, matter-of-fact style as Saramago's other childhood recollections. Read More...

From a field above the Pacific bluff in Malibu, California to a churchyard on Chebeague Island, Maine and places in between: American flags placed in columns and rows, each representing an American life lost, in silent remembrance to the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to their country. Currently the Flag tribute can be viewed in Patriots Park in Clarksville, TN, Greenfield Congregational Church in Fairfield, CT, Oxford United Methodist Church in Oxford, CT and on Highway 57 in Wanamingo Minnesota among other local displays.
Field of Flags leaves a profound effect on those touched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each flag placed one by one by volunteers, until the final number is reached. Dedications and services serve as a poignant reminder of the cost of war. As of June 30th 2011: 6,436 flags are needed to fill the field, and sadly, the number continues to grow.
If someone has a service you value, offer your expertise instead of cash. You will be stunned at how often the offer is accepted. Most businesses are more eager to pay in services or products than to write a big check. Read More... More on Business
Fourth of July. In Douglaston, Queens this was the day of the annual athletic competition. For some masochistic reason I entered these events every Fourth, and got clobbered time and again by the neighborhood kids. Read More... More on Track and Field

Among this morning's e-mails was one my spam filter didn't catch - Revolutionary Weight Loss Pill. I hit Delete. Revolution does not come in pill form. No pill will give me longer legs, no pill will magically convert your couch time watching Dancing with the Stars to a power workout. No pill will make healthy choices for you.
A few hundred years ago, our forefathers had no revolutionary pill to help them break with British tyrants. Their revolution took nerve and hard work, but it turned out okay. So okay, in fact, it's time to try it again. This time, we're not taking aim at the Brits - we like the Brits - but an internal enemy.
One in three Americans is obese. The price of obesity? The health costs, last tallied, are an astronomical annual figure of $147 billion. Then there's the other cost -- heart disease, stroke and cancer -- America's three leading causes of death. I believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but I'm sorry, we did not have a revolution in order to stuff ourselves to death.
My experience suggests that most people who proclaim independence are living an illusion and actually wind up denying themselves the very freedom they are seeking. Read More... More on Self Help
