    Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
    A Sweet Treat
     
    Like most people, I like to eat something sweet once in a while. But I try to stay away from foods that are loaded with energy-depleting sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, like cake and cookies. Not only does sugar send your energy spiraling down, it's one of the main causes of dangerous belly fat, and it can do a number on your immune system, too.

    When I'm hankering for a sweet taste, especially just after a meal, I go to my freezer for some ice cream - but not just any ice cream. I discovered an ice cream called Clemmy's, available at many health-foods and grocery stores. It's delicious, but has no sugar and is made with all-natural ingredients. You're probably thinking: What's ice cream without sugar? Well, Clemmy's uses a natural sweetener called Xylitol. This way you can enjoy a great-tasting scoop of ice cream without the unhealthy effects of sugar (which makes it great for diabetics, too).

    New Ad Widens Target Boycott Over Anti-Gay Donation
    By Carlos Santoscoy / Published: August 17, 2010 / On Top Magazine
     
    MoveOn. org  is wading deeper into the effort to boycott Target for supporting an anti-gay marriage gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota. The progressive group Tuesday unveiled a new ad urging shoppers to boycott the retail giant.
     
    "Target and other big corporations are trying to buy our elections," a male announcer says in the 30-second spot.
    "But if we all work together, we can stop them," he says, then adds, "Boycott Target. Our democracy is not up for sale."
    The Minnesota-based business apologized two weeks ago for contributing $150,000 to MN Forward, an independent political fund supporting Tom Emmer, the anti-gay Republican nominee for Minnesota governor. But on Monday, the company rejected a request from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest gay rights advocate, to give an equal amount of money to a pro-gay candidate.
    In announcing its new ad, MoveOn. org  chided Target for "meddling in our democracy" and refusing to "acknowledge its customers' outrage." The group said corporate money in elections amounted to "political bribery."
    "[A]nd we're not going to stop targeting Target until they stop trying to buy our elections," the group said.
    On Monday, after nearly a month of increasing pressure - from social conservative and progressive groups alike - the company refused to take any action.
    "We believe that it is impossible to avoid turning any further actions into a political issue," Target said in a statement.
    Facebook groups both supporting and opposing the boycott have attracted thousands of members.
    Electronics giant Best Buy Co. and other Minnesota-based businesses - including Red Wing Shoes and Polaris Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of snowmobiles - are also being criticized for contributing to MN Forward. However, Target gave the most money and has a strong history of supporting the gay community.
    After a Target protest at a Chicago-area store, Illinois State Representative Greg Harris, who is openly gay, told gay website ChicagoPride. com: "Companies like Target need to understand that they can't have it both ways when it comes to issues of our basic rights, and that the facts will eventually come out."
    Complicating matters is Target's current bid to open two stores in the epicenter of the gay rights movement, San Francisco, where the retailer's actions have some city leaders concerned.
    "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!
