Freaky Eaters: What Are Your Food Addictions?
If someone does something weird, there shall be a reality TV show about it, and TLC has poached weird food addictions off the list of televise-able disorders for their new series: Freaky Eaters. Each episode features one "freaky eater" and rehabs them within a half-hour time slot; most of the eating problems seem to revolve around emotional eating, but some are simply adult picky eaters.
Is it just us, or is this TV trend getting a little played out? Making a spectacle of eating disorders and overweight, unhappy people (like a diabetic who's addicted to cheeseburgers) seems a bit cruel, and though it's all done under the guise of helping resolve unhealthy food addictions while providing educational programming for viewers, we're still suspicious. ...

Sunny D Goes Zero-Waste: Still Unhealthy, But Does It Matter?
Today, Inhabitat reported that all of Sunny Delight's U.S. and Spanish companies have gone zero-waste to landfill. While this could be a positive change for the company, Inhabitat thinks that the corporation's star product (Sunny D), which contains a lot of high-fructose corn syrup, cancels out the zero-waste achievement.
Yes, high-fructose corn syrup is bad for us. But so is sending exorbitant amounts of waste to landfills. And sure, it'd be great to live in a world where Sunny D wasn't made with HFCS (right?), but that just isn't happening now. And Inhabitat's claim that Sunny D's move to zero-waste is an act of "self-interest" is irrelevant — less waste being shipped to landfills is a good move for the earth and its inhabitants. ...

The World Is Full of Saps: 2/3 of Schmucks Believe In Soulmates
According to a recent poll, two-thirds of sappy Americans actually believe in soulmates. (Unlike Blisstree's editor, who wrote this anti-soulmate screed on Blisstree a while back.) And apparently, she was right: Believing in soulmates isn't always such a good thing — people who apply the soulmate ideology to their marriages are 150% more likely to end up in divorce court.
The poll showed that couples who view their union as more of a lifelong commitment have more success in their marriage. What do you think — do soulmates exist, or are you just kidding yourselves, people? ... More »Post from: BlissTree
