    I Like My Burgers Without Oven Cleaner

    “Today we’re going to beat our record with a 350-pound burger.”

    I turned on the local news last night to catch the weather forecast – and there was a three foot tall hamburger staring back at me.

    It sells for $2,000.

    “It’ll have 20 pounds of cheese, 15 pounds of tomatoes, and 10 pounds of bacon. And it comes with a free drink.”

    I chuckled at that. But all I could think of looking at the reporter and the restaurant owner was, if you only knew what was in all that commercial burger meat, you might be amazed for a different reason…

    What Is That Pink Stuff?

    I didn’t even get a chance to put my briefcase down at my desk.

    My researcher K.D. just about ran into my office.

    “Dr. Sears, do I have a story for you!”

    K.D. doesn’t ever get excited, so I was kind of curious. “What happened?”

    “Well, I went to Maine for my vacation this summer because my family lives up there. My cousin lives near Acadia National Park. Just down the road there’s a family that has an organic farm.

    “Every year, they have a big party. Like a farm-to-table kind of thing. They raise money for charity and have a big tent for the dinner. My cousin’s never been able to go because she’s never had anyone to go with. So I drove over and we went to the party.

    “Before the dinner they have a tour, and show you where all the crops come from, and all that. They raise cows there, too. Some are for milking and some are for … you know … eating.

    “Before the tour they ask you if you want chicken of beef for dinner. I would usually have the chicken. But I thought, what the heck, I’ll try the beef …”

    Push the “Dump Fat” Button

    Push the “Dump Fat” Button

    Your body can dump pounds of fat with one simple command.

    With the opposite command, it can pack on the pounds.

    Wouldn’t it be better to push the “dump fat” button?

    Problem is, we often tell it to do just the opposite.

    Why does this happen?

    Got Real Milk?

    Got Real Milk?

    Yesterday there was a report in The Wall Street Journal that once again attacked unpasteurized milk.

    The FDA has been scaring Americans about this natural food product for decades.

    I come from a family of farmers, and milk was a staple of my diet growing up.

    We’d have it delivered to the house in glass bottles and go through a gallon a week per person. When I’d go to my grandma’s, she’d pour me a glass straight from the bucket… straight from the cow.

    Back then, we never worried about whether milk was raw or pasteurized, and we were healthy, strong, and never sick a day…

    Atkins Without Beef…What’s Next?

    Atkins Without Beef…What’s Next?

    Have you heard about this “Eco-Atkins Diet” that a bunch of researchers dreamed up to please vegetarians?

    Dr. Atkins must be rolling over in his grave.

    These veggie-wackos want a diet that offers “Atkins without animal fat.” They call it, “Eco-Atkins.”

    Holy cow!

    The Atkins Diet is all about eating animal protein. So how do you eat a high-protein diet without animal fat? Turns out we’re supposed to bulk up on soy burgers and wake up to the smell of vegetarian bacon – whatever that is!

    Got Real Milk?

    Dear Reader, What’s the real deal on milk? Here’s my take… Milk is one of Nature’s most nutritious foods. It’s packed with vitamins A, D, B6, B12, E, as well as calcium, beta-carotene, protein, life-giving enzymes, beneficial bacteria, and the right balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids you need, including conjugated linoleic acid, or [...]
