![]() Permatex 25072 Fast Orange Hand Cleaner Wipes $18.95 As a general rule, I like the Permatex line of Fast Orange products. I've used a few different brands of hand wipes in the garage and these are the best so far. These towels are strong enough to hold up to your caked on greasy, oily, dirty hands (unlike some others I've bought at the local auto parts store that are like a wet paper towel), and they are great for cleaning tools afterwards. I am having a hard time finding these in retail stores now, it is great to find that Amazon carries them! ![]() Slim-Fast Low-Carb Ready To Drink, Creamy Chocolate, 11-Ounce Cans in 4-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) $48.83 This product is hard to find in the grocery store now that the low carb craze has died out a bit. It is super for my husband's blood sugar control when he drinks it at lunch. So nice to know it's still available on Amazon! ![]() Fast Food Nation $14.99 The one piece of advice I consistently dispense to those who ask me how I lost weight a few years ago is, above all, STOP EATING FAST FOOD. Period. Just forget it even exists. Forget Wendy's, Sonic, McDonald's, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Drive past them like they're not even there, don't get your children hooked on it, and re-introduce yourself and your family to real food. Your body and mind will thank you in countless ways, believe me. Losing weight is about more than just eschewing fast food, of course, and this book's focus is NOT weight loss, by the way. I'm simply adding those two cents because like many Americans I was a bona fide fast food ADDICT, and getting it out of my life was without a doubt one of the most beneficial things I've ever done for my health and well-being. The scope of this book is a hell of a lot scarier than just how horribly unhealthy fast food is, because I think most of us are already aware of that, even if just peripherally. What you'll learn about the American fast food industry, from where it starts on the "factory" type farms (a wholly different entity from the family farm) to the slaughterhouses to the truly revolting things that actually end up between those slices of bread and in those fries, will disgust you so much that you will never look at food quite the same way again. The fact that this toxic garbage finds its way - with or without your knowledge - into our schools, restaurants and refrigerators is frightening. Trust me, you don't really know what's going on. Read this book and find out. It is truly appalling, and one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. It is a shocking testament to just how much is hidden from the consumer so that a lot of other people can make a great deal of money. Keep in mind that this condemnation comes from an ardent capitalist and political conservative (me), so this is not some kind of anti-corporation, hippie rant. Far from it. The "regulation" of the industry is a joke. You'll find out firsthand that there is no one even remotely concerned about the way this so-called "food" is poisoning us, and in fact they are mostly in collusion with one another to actively prevent us from knowing it, so it's up to us to educate ourselves. This very in-depth examination by Eric Schlosser is a great place to start. Keep in mind, too, that no one in the industry has even bothered to deny a bit of it. They know they don't have to unless the money stops rolling in. I for one am glad I stopped paying them to kill me! ![]() Fast & Furious (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] $39.98 Lots of action, suspense and drama. Diesel and walker work well together, I hope their together if many more films. Just as good as Fast and the Furious! |
