No, not a picture...

Selling Health Food
According to an economic report on the “food manufacturing,” health food is big business (2003). It is the current “fashion” to be involved in various types of health food diets, including, but not limited to, the Atkins diet or various types of allergy diets that may not be prompted so much by actual physical need as by consumer desire (2003). As the health food industry grows, various fast food chains have tried to capitalize on the growing trend (2003). For fast food places, however, health food was not a big hit. According to this article, one of McDonald’s discoveries in medical science failed in its first year (2003). Rather than being daunted by the odds, the researchers chose to spend time studying the development of “Olestra, a fat which the digestive system cannot absorb: non-fat fat” (2003). Subway, KFC, and the Centre for Science in the Public Interest were all interested in capitalizing on this temporary lack of available health foods (2003). Whether it is due to increased health food options or other factors, America has been losing weight—it is ahead of the curve, having “got fat before everybody else did” (2003).
Certainly, this is an apparent phenomenon. From increased grocery store options for lunch to maintaining a bathroom—and then his book out in the country. This is why I haven't yet finished my portfolio.

I managed to get two and a half hours of sleep last night, thanks to the kind assistance of my 15 y.o. brother who showed me how to do the labs for Wellness Concepts and then evaluated my flexibility (which, itself, is okay...but the flexing, you see, is painful--LOL!).

And now I'm at work...trying to think.=\ My brain doesn't do well on this much sleep.
