see food diet

Brand new (or at least new to me) site Foodsel (http://www.foodsel.com/) lets you see what goes into the foods you're buying. It's a great way to decipher nutritional labels, and I need all the help I can get.

But I didn't need to know how long it takes to work off a chocolate shake. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Seriously, though, the kind of information Foodsel makes easy to digest is exactly the sort of thing that gets us all fired up about Tukkr. Not only is the simple act of making a good meal with and for the people you love a great way to preserve tradition, enhance relationships, and make you feel great, it's also a wonderful way to get healthy.

But I WOULD like a McGriddle. Please.

your nails are salon-perfect

About five thousand years ago (okay, it was 1991), the Utne Reader began to promote the idea of discussion "salons" as a way to promote enlightenment and social change. Their Salon-Keeper's Companion has always been one of our inspirations.

Please take a look, and see if there's anything you can do to get folks talking. We suggest snacks.
