Yesterday, the Today Show aired several segments on the 'new' sexy.  Guess what?? Real women are now sexy!!  I don't know what we were before but apparently we are now 'in'! 

Are "Real" Women the New Sexy?

I found this article online touting the newly discovered benefits of curves - at one point she refers to it as padding!

Voluptuous is the New Black

Now, I am certainly no fan of 'skinny' but really, if curves were out but now they're in...does that mean they are going to go out again?

Are we supposed to be curvy or skinny?  tall or petite?  blonde or brunette?

Many of you are fans of the CrossFit Girls Are Hot page on Facebook.  I recently came across a great article written by a CrossFit guy on exactly why CrossFit girls are hot and it really has nothing to do with curves or a lack thereof.

Let me know what you think!

Things that make you say "Hmmmm"

Major insurers in the United States, Canada and Europe own more than $1.88 billion in stocks in the five leading fast food companies: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s/Arby’s, Jack in the Box, and Yum! Brands, which own KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. 

So the Health Insurance Companies are investing in tobacco and fast food...one would think that they would be more interested in actually keeping us healthy.  If not for moral and ethical reasons, than perhaps simply so that they have fewer claims to pay.  Of course, if we are all healthy, maybe we wouldn't want to buy insurance.

     In their 2009 paper on tobacco, Boyd and his colleagues suggested that insurance companies profit twice over by investing in tobacco stocks, since they can charge higher premiums to smokers and also profit if the stock rises. A similar dynamic may be at work with fast food, according to Boyd.

     "They can charge you more for life insurance if you have these negative health outcomes that people have as a result of eating fast food," he says.

Hmmmm...
