Using modified dolls and other props, Graham Rawle has created a new illustrated version of The Wizard of Oz. You can see an animated "trailer" for the book here. And go here to buy prints.

Be very afraid of sugar. Man has been eating fat ever since we could steal dead meat from the hyenas. Sugar only really entered our American diet in a meaningful way after WW2, when frozen orange juice was invented.
Yeah, this is silly. What's the reason for only worrying about the fat content of food? Is it based on the naive assumption that only fat makes you fat?
- If the food exists in nature the way you consume it: it's generally ok. - Or if the stuff it's made from exists in nature: it's generally ok. (So a properly made pizza is perfectly ok; it is made of real food. It get's problematic if it only consists of grease and cheese, but that would not be a properly made pizza.) - Avoid anything that's deep fried. (Deep frying is like dipping perfectly healthy food into poison.) - 1 soda can = water + 10 sugar cubes + chemicals (that do not grow in nature). That's it off the top of my head. - Oh and be very skeptical of self professed diet experts on the internet. ;)
guys, you're stupid. not all fat is unhealthy, but these foods contain a high amount of saturated fat. eating a lot of saturated fat leads to more cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
And yes I know that it's a generalization to say that if it comes from the land (like vegetables from your vegetable garden) without going through a million processes in the factory is more healthy than the over-processed crap you can get in the stores, but did I really need to spell that out?
>>So are those "magic" chemicals then?
You are too clever for me!
But for some reason I don't think the food that comes straight from the farm (to keep the example simple) contains stuff like: Hydrogenated Oils, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Sodium Nitrite, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or Food Colorings. Which are just a few examples I found after 1 minute on ehow.
>>Is it really that hard to learn enough basic biochemistry...
Yes.
>>...to discuss nutrition without sounding like a complete nutjob?

Where exactly did they "grow" and according to your theory they must have been transported to the soda factory by space aliens eh?

@Jessss: We're talking about food, not ethics.

Fat is fat, saturated or not. like everything else we eat it must be in moderation. you should care how much fat you ingest.
