Rachel’s Wickedly Delicious Cottage Cheese
My blog is not a food blog, and I don’t typically do product reviews … but every now and then I come across something worth sharing with my readers.
Today is one of those days. Recently, I found a yummy protein-packed, no-fake-sugar delight and wanted to share with you all: Rachel’s Wickedly Delicious Cottage Cheese.
Has anyone else fallen in love with this? I was soooo excited to see it at my local grocery store and again at Whole Foods in Ann Arbor this weekend.
I haven’t tried her yogurt line yet, but now I’m going to now. if it’s half as good as the cottage cheese, she’ll have a new fan! (more…)

Sad Stat
I read a really sad stat in the April issue of Women’s Health at the gym this weekend that I want to share today, at the beginning of a new week. It was buried on the lower left corner of page 22 in one of those By The Numbers sections.
“19: Percentage of women who say they’re happy with their bodies.”–
Source: Survey by the American Dental Association, Crest and Oral-B.
WHOA. This gave me pause. It was a little teensy newsflash that has legs, will travel … if only anyone else picked up on what a telling stat it was.
My first thought: THIS should be an investigative report in and of itself, Women’s Health, not a miniscule blurb! (And mind you, WH is probably my fave of all the fitness/health mags to which I subscribe).
Don’t you think? I mean, I imagined the numbers to be maybe 50, maybe 60 percent … but only a mere 19 percent? of the women sampled were happy with their bodies?!!
We all know surveys are a sampling and not the be-all, end-all… but how does that translate to the general popuplation? Are you saddened or surprised by that stat, or did you think it spoke the truth? (more…)
