20 Worst Drinks in America 2010
Processed sugar is toxic poison and killing us......I'm just saying.This article is awesome. I love how the photos show you the sugar content equivalents of each drink.
Some drinks you'd expect to be high in sugar but many drinks are marketed as "healthy" and many are marketed to kids.

My rant about the America health crisis
I feel a keen sense of urgency to help people "wake-up" to the health crisis in this country and help those I can reach by educating on the benefits (and miracles really) of a plant-based diet.
So here I go...
This is shocking: FACT: The #1 cause of death in the US is our ignorance of nutrition!! (not heart disease as you are told - but DIET!) And no one really knows this because the companies who are making billions of dollars off of selling us the meat, dairy and processed foods that are making us sick, and the ones selling us the drugs (more toxins) to "treat" the illnesses we get from the nutrient-deficient, fatty foods don't want us to know the truth. Food manufactures and the meat and dairy industry don't want American's informed/empowered and drug companies don't want us disease-free. And let's face it, the bad stuff is just too easy to get...and cheap! The whole plant-based "dollar" meal isn't available - YET!My friends in their 30s are getting cancer at an alarming rate, and teenagers have the signs of heart disease! This is shocking to me and if I can help people save themselves, and then those people in turn help their family and friends...well you get the picture....Domino effect please!

The Alemany Farmer's Market in San Francisco Rocks!
Any Farmer's Market is my HAPPY PLACE!
I LOVE ALL Farmer's Markets in general and now, thanks to Marnie Northrop, I have a NEW FAVORITE: The Alemany Farmer's Market!
Oh, and that 50% Bee Pollen/50% Bee Propolis was $9.75 of the $50
And those TRULY raw Almonds and Walnuts nuts alone would have cost me at least $50 at Whole Foods.Marnie and I grabbed our roadie green smoothies and headed out early Saturday morning. We found a parking spot in their convenient lot and off we went! Marnie showed me all of her favorite farmers...who also gladly posed for photos!Get the Honey and Bee Pollen from Jan C Synders!
My heart goes out to the Bee Man! His bee pollen, bee propolis and honeys are amazing and HE is so passionate about the healing properties of his bee products that he will gladly give you printed "scientific" information about the miracles of bee stuff. He even sells Royal Jelly for less that I've ever seen! Love him! Cheers to YOUR Farmer's Market Adventures!
And if you are a San Franciscan Early Bird - I'll see you every Saturday at Alemany!Here's guide the The Alemany Farmer's Market from Local Forage

Vegetables Are All Your Body Needs
You Are What You Eat

Click the above link to see dozens of refrigerators and a comment on who owns it. Quite telling!
We purchase refrigerators the way we fill them: out of necessity—to preserve the milk; to keep the greens from wilting. But from the right vantage point, an open fridge is the perfect staging grounds for a discussion of consumption. And if the aphorism holds true—if we really are what we eat—then refrigerators are like windows into our souls. It’s that sentiment that’s at the heart of Mark Menjivar’s inventive exploration of hunger, “You Are What You Eat,” for which he photographed the contents of strangers’ refrigerators. As you can see, whether it holds neatly ordered rows of labels-out condiments or zip-locked stacks of shot-and-gutted buck meat, there’s almost certainly a narrative to a fridge’s arrangement.
