Poll: Would You Eat a Lion Burger?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Although lions in the wild are considered a threatened species, the captive lions that live in the USA are growing in numbers.

This is mainly due to the exotic pet trade and the illegal breeding and sale of lions as pets. Usually this proves more than the owners can handle which leads to a lot of unwanted, neglected big cats in cages. Perhaps that is the thinking behind the lion farm in Illinois that has started selling lion meat to restaurants.

Should Pro-Eating Disorder Sites be Banned?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

You can find information and support groups for just about anything on the world wide web.

And, while we’ve enjoyed unprecedented access to information on issues such as health, gardening, and car maintenance – it’s disturbing to think we can also access sites designed to help us with issues such as preventing tooth decay from chronic vomiting, concealing weight loss, and the best diuretics to buy.

I Hate My Legs! [Forum]

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

I work out, I am a little over weight by like 10 pounds, but my legs have always been an issue for me. Ever since I had my first daughter 19 years ago my legs have been disgusting. I always thought that it was cellulite. I went to get an estimate on cellulite treatments and the doctor told me it was saggy skin. Well thats just great!!! Turns out the treatment for this is over $4000.00 which I can not afford.

Women Distort Their Own Body Image

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I have no full-length mirrors in my house, except for one which I have to open a closet to get to. (I didn’t plan it that way, it’s just how it worked out.) My brother and sister-in-law’s new house — which I just happened to visit last week — is full of them, though.

87.5 Pounds to Lose: Any Tips? [Forum]

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I think i should start a log of me losing weight and it this will be helpful since i am open to advice and suggestions!

I used to weight 130 pounds before i had my first son. During my pregnancy i wasnt a pig with food but i was totally lazy. I was 222 pounds during pregnancy and when i had my precious bundle i went to 219. Then i finally decided…”hey, i should probably excercise”. I made it to 216. Stopped and stayed there until my back and hips and everything else was in too much pain and i went on a few diets and made it to 200 pounds in about 2 or 3 weeks (not very smart way to lose weight so fast). Well i still excercise but now i am back up to 220 pounds.
