Seth Godin’s “Angry People” Chart
Wise words from marketing guru Seth Godin:
“Angry people are different from other people. They are not just an inch or two along some curve. Instead, there’s a gap in the curve, a vertical chasm, separating the angry from everyone else.

Don’t Replace Meat with SPAM!
According to the Associated Press, since meat prices have skyrocketed, people have resorted to buying canned meat, namely: Spam. ICK!

7 Types of Pain that Should Not be Ignored
From webmd:
“Whoever coined the term “necessary evil” might have been thinking of pain. No one wants it, yet it’s the body’s way of getting your attention when something is wrong.

Natural Easter Egg Dyes

Pillow Stuffing Natural Alternatives
From apartmenttherapy:
“Picking out a pillow must be one of the most subjective and personal choices one can make for their personal well-being.

Although goose down is considered the [...]

More Reasons to Give up Cereal, especially CORN FLAKES
Remember when I wrote about why you shouldn’t eat popular cereals? Well, I found another reason and it’s a doozy. It’s more than that, even. It should be the clincher for you to give up these industrial cereals.
There was an experiment with three groups of rats: one group ate corn flakes and water; another group [...]
If Aspartame Does This to Rats, What does it do to Humans?
From My Aspartame Experiment:
When Victoria Inness-Brown contacted me about “explosive information” concerning aspartame (Equal,NutraSweet) the controversial, artificial, chemical sweetener, I didn’t know what to expect.

Hidden salt in food a health risk to children
