| THE BEST MEDICINEf- LAUGH! FIRST DOSE There are always two ways to look at everything, I guess. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion last October, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife noticed me staring and asked me, "Do you know her?". "Yes", I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since." "My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" Got a Joke? E-mail it to us: frontpage@collectivewizdom .com |
| THE BEST MEDICINE- LAUGH! SECOND DOSE Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.

Quinoa--The New Super Grain
February 27, 2008
By Susan M. Callahan, Associate Editor and Featured

What if I told you that there is a grain which is high is
protein, high in fiber and low in calories? Well, there is. Meet
"quinoa", the new "superfood" that may come to rival soy
as the favorite of healthy eaters around the world.
Quinoa is a natural grain like corn and rice. It is grown in
South American primarily and has been around for over
5000 years.
"Quinoa is a true wonder food," says Daniel Fairbanks, Ph.D.,
a professor of plant and animal science at Brigham Young
University. "It has about twice the protein of regular cereal
grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even a dose of healthy
fats." Plus, it's considered a "complete" protein, which
means that, like meat, eggs, and dairy, it packs all of the
essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle".
Where do you find it? Edenfoods.com is one source. But
we're beting that, as the word spreads about quinoa, that
many of the chains will pick it up.
