Ned Pepper's Outrages

New Year's Resolutions, Revised!

Ned joins the lemming-like masses who make New Year's Resolutions, but Ned suggests them for others.
Eat fruit, not juice, preferably organic, especially bananas.
Try to drink vegetable juice, especially without added salt. Excellent.
Sit less, stand more. Sitting bad, standing, walking good.
Try to exercise at least three times a week. Remember, walking is great, but walking alone will not take off those pounds and keep them off. [Here Ned notes that his colleague Prof Dr QA Wagstaff, FRS, has suggested on Ned's secure line that Ned replace "walking alone" with "walking by itself", and Ned enthusiastically agrees.]
Try to eat less meat, and avoid industrially produced ground beef, pork and fowl. If you enjoy meat, try lamb and buffalo.
Try to get more stuff locally. Many stores, like Wal-Mart, are making an effort to carry more locally-produced food.
Fish is great, but do a little research and avoid species that are threatened, and certainly avoid farm-raised salmon, unless you know it to be healthy. Most farm raised salmon is bad for you, bad for the fish, and bad for the environment.
Take Vitamin D unless you live below 33 degrees N Lat and get out a lot. Remember, slathering on sunscreen means you can't absorb any Vitamin D.
Find out about the ramifications of the new health care law.
Try to say nice things to people even those with whom you disagree. But if you don't mean it, don't say it.
Join with Ned and give Obama one more chance to fulfill our expectations of him.
Eat as many vegetables as you can, and try to cook them as little as possible.
For God's sake, and for yours, WATCH LESS TV.
