Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
Diet-O-Rama
 
You can hardly pass a newsstand without seeing countless ads and headlines touting various diets. If you need to lose weight for better diabetes control, the promises of quick weight loss might be tempting. But is one diet really better than another?

Eating fewer calories than you burn is the key, says the American Diabetes Association (ADA). There are a variety of weight-loss therapies, drugs and surgery, but in the long run, it's really about eating less and moving more. But if you don't exercise, you shouldn't eat more than 1,500 calories a day, no matter which foods you eat.

It also appears that the easiest way to control calories is by cutting back on fat, says the ADA. Most people who succeeded at weight loss and kept it off ate a diet with only 20%-30% of calories from fat. (This is significantly less than the average American diet, which is more than 36% calories from fat.)

Most importantly, says the ADA, your diet changes must become part of your long-term eating habits. By losing weight with your favorite vegetables, fruits and healthy carbohydrates (such as whole grains and low-fat dairy products), you'll create an eating plan that can keep you healthy and motivated for a lifetime.
And Now, Muscle Wars!

Mexico supreme court upholds gay adoptions

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO (AP) - Aug 16, 2010

MEXICO CITY --- Mexico's Supreme Court voted Monday to uphold a Mexico City law allowing adoptions by same-sex couples.

The justices voted 9-2 against challenges presented by federal prosecutors and others who had argued the law fails to protect adoptive children against possible ill effects or discrimination, or to guarantee their rights to a traditional family.

Justices voting with the majority argued that once same-sex marriages had been approved, it would be discriminatory to consider those couples less capable of parental duties than heterosexual couples.

The court voted earlier this month by the same margin to uphold same-sex marriages themselves under a Mexico City law enacted March 4.

Hundreds of gay and lesbian couples have married under the law, but city officials have not yet reported any applications by those couples to adopt children.

The law applies only in Mexico City, but other states must respect marriages and adoptions made in the capital.

The Roman Catholic Church heatedly opposed the law, and the court voted unanimously Monday to condemn comments by Cardinal Juan Sandoval, the archbishop of Guadalajara, who suggested over the weekend that justices may have been paid off by the Mexico City government to favor the law.

Mexico City's law was the first of its type in Latin America when it was enacted in March.

Argentina became the first country in the region to permit gay marriage in July, when President Cristina Fernandez signed legislation declaring that wedded gay and lesbian couples have all the same legal rights and responsibilities as heterosexual couples, including the right to inheritance and to jointly adopt children.

"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."

Remember:  Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I already stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall.  Goodbye to Target and Best Buy!
