Culture feeds sinister cycle of food merchants, weight loss fads
If I had retained all the weight I have lost during the last millennium I would probably weigh a cool 10,000 pounds.

Drunk hillbillies with mullets, motor homes and beat-up pickup trucks. They’re all stereotypical images of NASCAR fans who follow a sport condemned by a large portion of suburban America. But the sport’s following is fanatical, and there may be good reason why. You might as well just cue in Rosco, the General Lee, the Duke boys and Boss Hog, cause this is gonna get rural... It probably won’t settle well with many closed-minded traditionalists, convinced that a true sport has to be played with some type of ball. But it’s the largest spectator event in the nation, like it or not. And it deserves respect. Yeah, laugh if you want, call me a redneck, tell me I live in a trailer park, say I drink Pabst Blue Ribbon and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” all day.
Being a superstar in today’s society is tough. Look at any tabloid and you’ll see some pathetic-looking star with dark circles under her eyes and her belly hanging out of pants a couple sizes too small. Singer Mariah Carey knows that scenario all too well these days. Life can be stressful, and Carey is certainly feeling the heat recently after working on two different movie sets for “Glitter” and “Wise Girls,” as well as completing a soundtrack for “Glitter.” The effects of these projects caused her to recently check into a hospital \'because of mental and physical exhaustion. The consequence caused Carey’s release dates for the soundtrack and movie of “Glitter” to be set back to September 11 and 21, respectively, so she could re-energize. What’s more entertaining than seeing stars at their worst?

I weep for the carrot, for its rights are without a champion.Some people don’t like the taste of meat.
This week MSU added to its football team a convicted sex offender who served jail time before he could earn playing time.
The university’s undergraduate required courses are a joke.I’m not the first person to say this, but bear with me for a moment.
