New Years is right around the corner and many people are going to make the same resolution they make every year, despite knowing that if it had worked before they wouldn't be making it again. A new survey by a British weight loss product company shows some interesting statistics about women's attitudes towards their bodies (surprise! it's not good) but other research shows there might be  gentler, healthier ways of keeping that resolution for a health body and attitude.  Happy New Year!!

        For once, I didn't bring it up.

I don't want to feel that way about my writing niche of sex and love, so, very luckily, I get to do projects that are out of my genre sometimes, like my interview with Dr. Melanie Joy on Alternet.  I was having a moral dilemma over my disgust with fur farms and having trying to reconcile that with the fact that I'm a very avid omnivore - how can I really be that anti-fur and have no problem eating meat? And I'm an enthusiastic carnist. There are days when I feel like I could easily wander into one of the many pastures in Central Florida with a fork and a salt-shaker and having at one of the undoubtedly yummy cows out there. I was mulling over this when I happened on Melanie's book "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and W
