PROGRESSIVE WELLNESS

WE SHOULD OWN THIS ISSUE

THE REPUBLICANS WON'T

Progressives: "People Are Dying Out There!"
Neocons: "Waah-Waah-Waah!"

Here's something else that can go in our list of categories for this blog: Health. Or Progressive Wellness, maybe. Why not? The right-wingers certainly don't care about your health: They promote war, air & water pollution, impure foods, dangerous and ineffective drugs, economic stress, underfunding public education, racial strife, poor housing, bad nutrition, and NO health care. I'd say good health was our isue.

What do you think? How about some feedback here, folks?

Turns out, something we like is good for us: Cinnamon. It lowers your blood sugar, which is a good thing, especially for diabetics. Maybe not so good for hypoglycemics; not sure about that. Oh, well, any excuse to go to Cinnabons. Wait, no, the "scientists" say you should avoid the sweet, fatty stuff with cinnamon in it. Shit! Who made THEM scientists, anyway??? And, what about chocolate, you scientific BASTARDS?

Here's all the data currently known to Science about cinnamon, including some very tasty-looking recipes, which, of course, the scientists won't let us vouch for. Or, wait, was that the lawyers? We forget: We haven't been eating enough cinnamon.

"CINNI-MINI'S ARE GOOD FOR YOU???"

I've found a few cinnamon recipes on the 'Net. It seems that everyone but us cooks everything with cinnamon, not just desserts. About the only US cinnamon recipes I found were "ethnic," or pork. Or both. I love a good ethnic pork joke. Ha-hah. Can't vouch for any of these recipes, but they look good. Let us know if they're any good.

Thanks to Cul of Ratboy's Anvil for hepping us to this meme, whatever that is. This pair of dimes isdedicated to his continued good health. Cheers, with a hot cinnamon apple cider!
