    Processed Foods

    You dare. But are they less expensive? I'd think they probably cost a good 20-50% more than 'foods' sold in less convenient sizes.

    Processed Foods

    I just remembered something. You guys ever seen the original 'Gummi Bears', made by Haribo? They're available in the US, sort of. The Gummi Bears sold in Germany and I assume the rest of Europe, are actually quite good, no artificial colors or flavoring. Nice firm consistency, really a high...

    Processed Foods

    I hold back commenting whenever my American friends/family post pics of their 'cakes' at Facebook, so obviously made from some kind of easy-mix and with frosting from a can smeared on them. The most important thing seems to be color. The more garish and flourescent, the more 'likes' it's going...

    Processed Foods

    ah, well, I have some direct experience with that. Moving from the US to Northern Bavaria (in 1995, when I was 32 yrs old), I was literally forced to go through withdrawl symptoms, and it wasn't much different than a smoker going cold turkey. I had strong cravings; processed foods tasted like...

    "Barefoot" Running "Shoes"

    On the purely biomechanical side I think you can achieve quite a bit with your vff's. You start engaging the lower legs and feet to some extent, and possibly iron out some form issues e. g. overstriding. Possibly. But it's also possible to feel a false sense of security when you don't get the...

    "Barefoot" Running "Shoes"

    Meaning you swim around all day looking for it. And in life, we generally find what we seek, even if it means projecting our own biases on what we find. By the way, sweeping, baseless conclusions about groups of people are generally a sign of... taa daaa! elitism. So maybe take a look at that...

    "Barefoot" Running "Shoes"

    No, I think you're right, Board. I noticed the same thing but was going to let it slide. Seems to be raging against the voices in his head...

    "Barefoot" Running "Shoes"

    And then you read about 'barefoot' 'running '' studies 'only to find out that the only accurate word in the headline is the one in the middle. I agree, 'barefoot shoe' is annoying.
