Something Is (Apparently) Broken

I just posted a message in a Help Group ("Something Is Broken") about not being able to edit my Page Elements. I hope this gets fixed soon. I like Blogspot and I'd rather not have to find another blog host- again.

Oh, God. Was just surfing MSN.ca and came across article called Skip Breakfast, Pack on the Pounds. Great. I never eat breakfast. Ever. How could not eating a piece of bread, some cereal or whatever cause you to gain weight?!

An estimated 12 percent to 34 percent of children and adolescents skip breakfast on a regular basis, a number that increases with age. Previous studies have linked breakfast skipping with a greater tendency to gain weight.

That makes no sense at all.

The new study was both cross-sectional and prospective - moving forward in time. More than 2,000 adolescents were followed for five years.

Okay, that's just creepy.

"What happens is that total fat and saturated fat as a percentage of total daily energy were lower in the breakfast eaters compared with breakfast skippers," Richel explained. "This really shows that we have the potential to improve energy balance and weight control with healthy breakfast consumption. We're not talking pop-tarts."

Dammit. I love pop-tarts, especially the chocolate-filled ones with chocolate drizzled on the outside. I used to eat them before school at 6 AM, so that I wouldn't faint by the time lunch rolled around, sometimes not until 12:30 or so.

Also on MSN.ca news, it would seem that J.Lo can't stop buying crap for her new-borns. What the hell are babies going to do with a pony. And diamonds. And a masseuse. And several thousand bottles of Glow. I mean, seriously. Keep that up and you'll have two very spoiled B.Rats on your hands.

A musical adaptation of Desperate Housewives is in the makes. Good grief. Although, it might be a laugh. Just picture it: an Eva Longoria look-alike belting out a melody about shtooping the hot gardener behind her husband's back.

Actually, come to think of it, I'll take ten tickets please.
