Fitness Industry

America’s ever-expanding waistline—we see it, we hear about it, and we worry about it, but can anything be done about it?

Not really. There’s a lot more going on below the surface when it comes to what America is eating for dinner—and breakfast and lunch and in between.

Grand Theft Weight Loss "steals" their most important discoveries and shows us how they can be used to cut hunger, quit sugar, stop overeating, "shrink" your stomach and eliminate unhealthy cravings.

Is Organic Worth the Price?

$8 for organic milk. Sure, you could spend half as much, but it’s worth it to know that you’re supporting a small family farm where the cows can munch on green grass all day. Plus, you’re not drinking nasty hormones and chemicals, and you’re doing your part to save the environment. Seems like you’re winning all around, but what would you do if that picture of the happy farm, the personal health, and the clean air and water turned out not to be so pretty? What if organic isn't all it's hyped up to be?

What if organic produce only had marginally less pesticide residues than conventional produce? What if the organic, grass-fed beef cows ended up on the very same feedlots as factory-farmed, grain-fed beef cows? What if large swaths of the country were being taken over by huge corporate-owned farming operations, organic farming operations that were destroying the landscape and depleting the soil?

Find out what major corporation owns your favorite small organic brand. Examine whether pesticides may be a health detriment or even partially beneficial.

As anyone who has had the misfortune of seeing someone suffering from a chronic condition knows, living and existing are two very different things. How old are you now?
