Kraft Introduces 2 Somewhat Healthier Cookies Made of Whole Grains
heh...I love the phrase "Somewhat Healther"...translation...NOT HEALTHY AT ALL SUCKAS!
In the efforts of food companies to appease nutrition advocates and serve an increasing number of health-conscious consumers, Kraft Foods has crossed an improbable threshold - a healthier cookie.
Something tells me this is going to go the way of McDonalds Go Active Meal. Never heard of it? Exactly my point.

August 05, 2005 by Renee @ 10:40 AMI believe the messages we get about our body, which translates into how we approach & feel about weight loss, are multi pronged. On top of our own personality and lifestyle, there are many factors, people and situations playing a role.
Ultimately it is the individuals responsibility to make their own choice, but I don't rule out the pervasive message the media both blatantly and covertly hits us over the head with.
Let me be clear, I am not saying it's solely the media's fault.
However, since the media is showing no sign of changing it's message or going away, I've made my own choice of limiting what I watch, read & listen to.
So it's when I run across the following story, I just...oh I dunno...blow my top?
At some point over the last few months, it began to feel like an assembly line: Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan ....All of a sudden, you couldn't tell them apart: the drapey gowns clinging to skinny hips, the long blond tendrils falling over matchstick-thin arms, the smoky eyes accenting bottle-bronzed faces.
[snip]
...there's actually a mastermind behind this look-of-the-moment: celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe.
[snip]
She dresses some of the world's most visible teen idols for film junkets, premieres and magazine shoots.
[snip]
...her power as an image maker cannot be underestimated. A recent entry on a Lohan fan site read: "I would do anything to look like her!"
[snip]
Thinness is essential...(Fashion insiders have whispered privately that she is single-handedly bringing anorexia back.)
She's begun preaching the virtues of tan and slinky to the rest of America, as a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan magazine and a guest on "Oprah," and she was recently hired as a spokeswoman for GapBody, where her duties include "Bra Bar" fit clinics for customers, despite the fact that most days she doesn't even wear a bra.
I'm going to dissect this badboy one segment @ a time.
Booty Gate?
August 04, 2005 by Renee @ 09:16 AMMarla brings up a good point about Jessica Simpson's booty this morning:
The photos showing her profile and front are of a person who is too skinny to have the butt shown in the last photo. Are these before-and-afters, or is it possible she's wearing a little booty padding?
If she were inclined to smilies I can almost picture her adding a 
face.
When I saw the Dukes of Hazard preview in the theatres a few weeks ago, there's a scene where she struts towards Enis and perches on his desk trying to get some info from him. Everytime I saw that scene, I thought, Boy her booty is flat. So Marla's comment, coupled w/ my flashbacks of the flatness has prompted me to get to the bottom [no pun] of this.
Here is the scene in question. It's hard to really tell b/c it's so small & fuzzy. But if you go see the movie this weekend, lookout for it.
Now it could be a few things. She could've shot those bikini pics early in the movie, before the butt muscles had time to plump up (Lord is this what my degree paid for?). Or, She could in fact be using butt padding in the shorts picture, hence the fullness and roundness (still shaking head @ my analyzing this).
I'm no doctor, but I tend to think you either got it or you don't. Not to say her booty couldn't have been made firmer, but for it to be so rotund and pop out and almost compete w/Beyonce or a Serena Williams for noticeablity, well that's where my ability to suspend belief ends.
Granted both B and Serena are arching themselves thereby giving the booty more of a poking out style, but Jessica ain't a stranger to the arching one's back game either.
What could be the deciding factor in all three is both B & Serena are wearing skin tight garments. Jess however is wearing the more bulkier garment, denim, which could in fact have been, *cough* padded.
Ladies & gents, I make no judgements or accusations, I'm simply presenting the facts. I rest my case.

For the love of pod
April 27, 2005 by Renee @ 09:02 AMErra...Lord knows I want an iPod as much as the next person (a free one even [I GOT IT ON 1/31/06!]) but my mother would *SLAP* me silly if I pulled something like this.
...daughter of two-time Oscar-winning actress Dianne Wiest was arrested for allegedly beating up one of her classmates and robbing him of his iPod...
Matter of fact if anyone reads a news story about a weight loss blogger robbing someone for their iPod, hell they can *SLAP* me too. I've read about a rise in iPod thefts in NYC, but the daughter of an Oscar winner?!?!?! C'monnnnnnnnn!
Speaking of iPod, there is a Citibank rewards commercial w/a woman running & a guy driving along side of her blasting music. As she runs over sidewalks, he drives over them. She commands him to turn it up or switch the song.
When I first saw it I was cracking up thinking I'd totally do the same thing if I ran outdoors and when it ended and I saw them flash and iPod an then yammmer about the reward program I almost fell outta bed cackling. It was her fake iPod!!!
Bwahahaha
Oh Burger King
March 29, 2005 by Renee @ 10:07 AMWasn't pimping Hootie bad enough?
The sandwich has one sausage patty, two eggs, two American cheese slices and three strips of bacon. [snip] Post said Burger King decided to offer the enormous omelet sandwich -- which goes against current trends in the fast food industry of offering more healthy choices -- in response to customers who said they wanted a more filling breakfast. [snip] [source]
A breakfast that fills you up thru lunch & dinner. Yea that sounds about right.

Or perhaps could it have been those glazed-flavored drinks?
