Fast foods and statins, together at last. What won’t they think of next?

It’s funny because it’s sad. Or maybe it’s funny because it’s scary.

Does anyone get the creepy feeling we’ll see a day where instead of snapping, crackling, and popping, Rice Krispies will actually shout, “Buy more!” in the mouths of pre-diabetic children at breakfast tables across America?

Already mastered the standard pullup? Al Kavadlo ads a few pullup variations to the mix. And by a few, I mean about 20.

Comment of the Week

I always envision a toddler in a diaper squatting down to pick a Cheerio up off the ground – they have the most natural squat that makes sense to me. I then employ the same simple movement, although I don’t tend to pick up and eat food from the floor. 🙂
