It’s over two hours long, but worth watching the Weston A. Price Foundation‘s press release regarding the USDA guidelines. While I’ve never put much stock in what the USDA tells me to eat, the WAPF brings up the unsettling point that our nation’s school lunches will now be ruled by these guidelines.
The Twinkie guy, the potato guy, now the chip lady… can we think of a name for these ridiculous people? How about “monogastronomers.” Does that work? Anyone have a better word?

This is an email from reader Josh forwarded to me, originally from his friend Danny…
I thought you might enjoy the standing desk I put together recently.The items used:4 CORK Trivets by IKEA – 7″ Round
12 Pack of Magnolia Brush 5 qt Galvanized Metal Pails
Rolodex Bridge Desktop Manager
I lifted the desk so that each leg would rest on 3 nested pails. To reduce the stress on the bottom of the pails, I placed an IKEA cork trivet on each. To lift my monitor, I used a rolodex desktop manager, and a laptop stand I had lying around. I am still looking for the best way to elevate my keyboard. I’ve had it for a week, and I can report that it works for me – I feel great.-Danny
