Want it raw? Don your trench coat and shady shades, and beware of the cops when purchasing black market milk. Natural News has the scoop on the shake down of the underground milk market.
Last year Crocs were all the rage at mall kiosks. This year it’s shoes that give you a workout. The NY Times separates the truth from the trash when it comes to butt firming brands like EasyTones and FitFlops. As a side note, I know the old marketing adage “sex sells,” but EasyTone’s ad campaign looks like it was designed by Larry Flint.

It’s all about correlation vs. causation.
I have good anecdotal evidence suggesting a strong correlation between shopping in Costco and Type 2 diabetes. It can be concluded that, therefore, frequenting the grounds of the store produces a strong sustained insulin spike in its customers.

Any Australians that show up here are going to be really amused by the “banana hammock” reference. Threw me off for a second before I remembered that it means something much different in the States! 😀
Kind of surprised that that article didn’t mention the opioid effect of grains. In any case, there’s another reason not to eat them, as if you needed any.
I know it’s tough to be shocked by advertising these days, but I was definitely pretty taken aback the first time I saw one of those Easytone commercials on TV…
“dawn” your trench coat? Is that a pun I’m not getting?
Lots of great links here! Always post them to my facebook page.
And I kinda sorta really want a banana hammock…
Fixed! thought it was a joke…it made me read the article twice though 🙂

Kara, I’m pretty sure it means the same thing here. I was surprised by that link myself.

I think the banana hammock product (which is, indeed, a hammock for storing bananas) is a play on the slang term for Borat-style speedos. Heh.
Woh – they needed to pay a little more attention to the womans reflection in the glass on the Easytone site.
Insert “Lipid Leggin” story here when talking about raw milk (amongst other sins!)
