Another interesting and out-of-the-mainstream blog that has emerged from my class in Communication Technologies is called Feeding Blackmail. Just the name made me want to check it out. It has off-beat posts comparing the nutritional value of canned pears to fresh pears and the healthiest way to lose weight fast. But my favorite one is called Health Alert For Today: Get Dirty! It’s especially funny to me because when my kids were small, I had a friend who used to say this all the time! She would roll her eyes when I worried that my daughter stuffed a handful of peat moss in her mouth, or worse, sucked some stagnant water out of the bottom of a stopped up drinking fountain—that one still makes me cringe! This health alert sounds like a great excuse to skip the housework this weekend!
