Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
Eat Fruit to Stay Fit
 
Are you eating fruit every day? You should! Fruits have many benefits in terms of fiber and phytochemicals. Yes, fruit contains a bit more sugar – and therefore, more calories – than vegetables. But fruit's fiber content helps fill the stomach faster, which will stop you from eating high-calorie foods.

To maximize your fat burning, keep your fruit intake to lower-sugar fruits such as apricots and blackberries. While you're not likely to bite into a lemon or lime, these two fruits add great flavor to foods and even plain or sparkling water - and they don't deliver an excess of sugar. Two other delicious and good-for-you fruits are tomatoes and avocados. They often get lumped in with vegetables, but are actually fruits because they grow from a flower and mature with some type of seed inside.

Try to eat fruit that's a rich yellow, orange or red color – they're packed with antioxidants that fight off free radicals.
And Now, Muscle Wars!

Key Issue in Gay Community's Target Boycott: Sense of Betrayal
Supporting 'Pro Business' Candidate Harms Relationship With Loyal Consumers
 
- by Steve Roth on 08.18.10 / Advertising Age
 
Gays and lesbians in America, and their friends and allies, have been riding a roller-coaster of news over the last few weeks. First, U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled on Aug. 4 that California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 was a violation of the U.S. Constitution, and that gays and lesbians have a right to marry.

Then a week later he said that he would lift the stay on his rule in one week, enabling gay marriages to resume in California as early as Aug. 16. And then just yesterday the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to keep same-sex marriages on hold until at least December. So gay and lesbian couples seeking to marry in California are still left waiting at the altar.

Throughout these same few weeks, retail giant Target Corporation has also been in the news for a $150,000 contribution it made to Minnesota Forward, a political action committee that supports Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, an opponent of gay marriage and gay rights.

Minnesota-based Target apologized for the contribution two weeks ago, and CEO Gregg Steinhafel assured employees that the retailer's support of the gay community was "unwavering." In an e-mail to employees, he said Target's political donations were intended to support business objectives such as job creation and economic growth. He said that "Target's support of the [gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender] community is unwavering, and inclusiveness remains a core value of our company."

Yet on Monday, the company rejected a request from the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights advocate, to give an equal amount of money to a pro-gay candidate.

HRC reported that after two weeks of discussions and two tentative agreements, Target would not take any "corrective actions to repair the harm that it caused by contributing $150,000 to an organization supporting a vehemently anti-gay candidate."

The reaction to Target's donation -- and its handling of the situation -- throughout the last few weeks has been swift and strong, with social media playing a key role.

The advocacy group MoveOn. org and other gay rights supporters have called for a boycott of Target. It also launched an ad to support the effort.

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 stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall.  I do not purchase "Blood Diamonds" nor do I believe that a person should be giving money to both Hitler and the Jews at the same time!   Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler was the right thing to do.   Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being.   They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp.  Therefore, goodbye Target and Best Buy!  The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions!  What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
