I like it when people post topics like this and then have not rebuttle once everyone makes them look stupid. :)

I think America promotes stupidity.

I would not feed my pets wal-mart brand anything.  Who the hell knows where it was made of even what's in it.  We feed our cats Nutro indoor cat food.  Even purina would probably be better than wal-mart brand.

Usually you get what you pay for in pet food.

If you're worried about having a lot of artificial sweetners then buy some low calorie juice and fill a water bottle with half juice and half water.  It's pretty much the same as those crystal light on the go packets, but all natural and tasty!  I have found juices with as low as 40 calories per 8 ounce.

The pill can cause you to gain weight by increasing your hunger.  I never noticed this to be true.  I think it's a mental thing.  If they tell you it will happen and you think it will, then it probably will.  My physician suggested taking my pill every night before bed to avoid added hunger.  I don't think any pill would make you any more hungry than another.

I have heard that the shot does cause imense hunger until you get used to it.  I don't consider this an effective bc method anyway because of how many people I know that have gotten pregnant on it.

Thanks for the encouragement!  I just fear that I will never be ready for the true commitment to a lifestyle change.  I guess all I can do is keep pluggin away.

I guess I did stop cheating on my bfs, so it's possible I can stop cheating myself as well. :)

Saw this thread and went and dug out a Bratz Kidz that I was planning on giving my daughter for christmas.  she has a to large head and huge eyes...her skirt comes down past her knees...there is some tummy showing but she comes with a shirt that can fix that problem.  she has no breasts to speak of and light pink lipstick no eye makeup except eyelashes and a hint of blush on her cheeks.  I think it depends on the doll...  I find this appropiate for my child...The extra out fit is a baby doll style tank top with flared jeans that sparkle.  She is just a doll to dress up and role play with..in fact most of my daughters dolls are teachers  or doctors some times just mommies  its what ever she imagines at the time.  The word hooker whore or slut have never entered her mind while shes playing with these dolls  she doesnt even know what that means so how could she think of them that way.  she sees the dolls as what they are...dolls  It would be very sad for me and her if my she knew what those things are and that someone says her toys are those things!!

I agree.  I don't understand parents that sensor everything their children do.  Toys are toys and cartoons are cartoons.  Hopefully you aren't depending on these things to raise your children.  When I was little, if I would be watching something with a message my mom didn't agree with, we would talk about what the right thing would be to do.  My mom didn't sensor much in my life, but she was always there to talk to and explain things to me and make sure that I had morals and got the right message.  Kids can even get bad messages from good cartoons or play dirty games with teddy bears.

If you want to look at the kind of messages a doll can send.  Neither one is saying anything positive about women.  Both dolls are not the proportions of a normal woman.  They're basically both sex symbols.  Bratz definitely are more provocative than Barbie, but Barbie is no saint herself. 

I think you just have to look at it this way.  They are toys.  It is up to the parents to teach their children what is acceptable behavior and what is unacceptable.  Teach your children that even though the Bratz may show their midrif and cleavage and wear too much make-up that it's dress up and is pretend. 

Hopefully people aren't depending on dolls to give their children morals.  I played with Barbies and my self-esteem is just fine.  I turned out to be a good person and I'm not a hooker.  Remember Barbie was quite controversial in the past.  This is just an updated version of that controversy.

Yes I feel sorry for the folks if they lost a job.. but not that much b/c they can get better jobs than slaughtering animals for a living. I cant see that as being much of an existance anyway.  I am so thrilled that me and my family have not been eating red meat.  It is rare that my family does so. I am thankful.  I personally do not eat any meat . I am so thankful that VEGAN and vegetarianism has gone mainstream. YEAH

I'm sure those people will have a really hard time finding better jobs seeing as they are unskilled laborers.

It always cracks me up when people talk about "toxins" in their bodies.  What exactly are these evil toxins?  Do they have a medical name?

Maybe if you rub some snake oil on your belly it will grow smaller while you starving yourself to death.

*rolls eyes*

I think I'd have to see a side view to make an accurate comment.

Maybe your friends are just bitches.

I like to add morningstar or boca products to my salads to make them a little more exciting.

As far as pooping goes.  Sometimes when you're not getting enough fat you can become constipated.  I would try adding some healthy fats to your diet like avocados or olive oil.  You can add a teaspoon to your salad and you won't even taste it, but you will be getting that good fat.
