As a Sacramentan who knows our tap water is really shitty, I was curious where this city fell on that "best water" list.<br /><br />I cannot believe we are at 18 and San Francisco is at 33.<br /><br />You can drink SF tap water straight. No need to filter. It tastes GREAT! Tastes like storebought bottled water.<br /><br />The water here? You can see particles floating in it and it tastes like metals and chemicals. It's really, really bad. I NEVER drink unfiltered tap water. EVER.<br /><br />As far as the LA area, and San Diego, yeah, I can believe they have shitty water. LA water comes out of the tap WHITE and smells of chlorine. Would you drink water that looked like someone poured it into a glass of leftover milk and smelled like a swimming pool? Didn't think so. SD water isn't much better.Gina Guillotinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960936063619812000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-29310613847515597392011-01-25T16:22:00.447-06:002011-01-25T16:22:00.447-06:00I most definitely value health over anything else....I most definitely value health over anything else. I know that MTV and every other network on TV only care about ratings and I can't expect MTV to be socially responsible. But I can complain about it, and hope that if I get a couple of friends and a few readers talking about it, I can help someone learn a healthier way of living. I could hope.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575993577770818228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-32881301691258264682011-01-06T22:37:02.775-06:002011-01-06T22:37:02.775-06:00I agree with your last paragraph and appreciate yo...I agree with your last paragraph and appreciate your perspective, but let's be real here. MTV is concerned about ratings, period. I was sick this week, and I caught two of the episodes. I saw unhappy kids whose real problem was having no discipline at all in their lives. Spoiled and self-indulgent, these kids got a lot out of pushing themselves even if their goals were shallow. I'm also sure they will gain the weight back.<br />I say this as a yo-yo dieter who always ended up heavier than I started. I have learned to adopt healthy eating habits and work out regularly, which still means I'm heavier than the media's ideal. I'd still love to have beautifully sculpted arms to show off a sleeveless gown, but I would have to starve to acheive that (I know; I did it before) and I value having a healthy body more. I have no desire to see just how high I could get that scale to climb with more yo-yo dieting.<br />Best to you,<br /><br />T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-3256920276667900152011-01-03T15:10:19.827-06:002011-01-03T15:10:19.827-06:00As long as someone is healthy, weight doesn't ...As long as someone is healthy, weight doesn't matter that much.

I realize just how ...Hi Lady! Thanks for reading! <br /><br />I realize just how bad shows like this are when my Aunt, who is an intelligent woman, called me from Houston to turn on Dr. Oz because he had a show on pregnancy. I love my aunt, I do, but I am not taking health advice from a guy on the cover of Women's World magazine (see my post, I have edited). I will ask the doctor that I have chosen, take time to look up information on my own and ask the other women I know who have gone through it. I wish more people would take more sensible steps to caring about their health.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575993577770818228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-59869182334015838222010-08-03T15:35:17.951-05:002010-08-03T15:35:17.951-05:00i agree with you both. thanks for the post! :Di agree with you both. thanks for the post! :DFre "Lady 8:2Faye"https://www.blogger.com/profile/06965483212835125094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-66500332827492433402010-08-03T13:25:47.255-05:002010-08-03T13:25:47.255-05:00I'm with you.

It may not be a method that is empirically tested, but isn't just a flash-in-the-pan movement to get scientists to become theists and give up on the 'theory' of evolution (FYI, it still has not been proven as the origin of species). There are some very smart people who are proponents of intelligent design (Stephen C. Meyer, William Dembski, and Michael Behe,) all of whom have advanced degrees in sciences, philosophy, and mathematics.

Doing good doesn't justify doing bad. They promote themselves in a way that is not true and sometimes small facts like this help people think more about what they will follow. In this day and age there are plenty of resources for someone to become informed about animals rights and health issues without following PETA. <br /><br />I don't know how these facts are twisted- let's say that PETA advertises that we shouldn't kill animals but they are, that's not twisting the fact, but rather highlighting something less positive about the organization. A Christian mission organization may provide clean water in Africa but may also kill abortion doctors. That clean water doesn't justify any other negative act and it doesn't make the fact that they kill doctors untrue, either.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575993577770818228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-39194601961819076202010-06-08T03:28:56.260-05:002010-06-08T03:28:56.260-05:00While I'm not exactly a fan of PETA and am not...While I'm not exactly a fan of PETA and am not a member, the "facts" on that page are a tad skewed.<br /><br />Is PETA all it's cracked up to be? No. But without them, we wouldn't have any idea what really goes on inside the meat industry, and for that I'm thankful.<br /><br />We also wouldn't know about cruel animal testing with cigarettes (seriously, the smoking beagles are just SAD! It will tear your heart out) and we also wouldn't know that dog food companies such as Iams do horrifying, and unnecessary, tests on animals, too. I've seen the footage. It will make you ashamed to be human.<br /><br />Plus, we wouldn't have standards for animal safety with moviemaking, either. Watch old westerns where horses fall down cliffs, and often had to be shot and killed because they'd broken legs and other bones. That doesn't happen now.<br /><br />And Pam Anderson has said in interviews that her car doesn't have leather seats, she actually had it removed for vegan friendly materials that look like leather. And even if she hadn't done that, the cars she typically drives don't come with any other seat fabrics. They only come with leather.<br /><br />I'm not trying to shoot the messenger, but sometimes people who make these "facts you need to know" sites can really twist things around.<br /><br />As for Ingrid Newkirk, I don't know anything about her at all.Gina Guillotinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960936063619812000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974183590667659385.post-91695079853385775502010-05-18T21:36:28.040-05:002010-05-18T21:36:28.040-05:00Friendship 5!
