LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sugar fear-mongering unhelpful

By The Washington Times Tuesday, June 25, 2013

In his recent piece “Is obesity a disease?” (Web, June 19), Dr. Peter Lind refers to high-fructose corn syrup and other “manufactured sugars” as “poison” that will “guarantee storage of fat in the body.” Current scientific research strongly indicates that obesity results from excessive calorie intake combined with a sedentary lifestyle. The fact is Americans are consuming more total calories now than ever before.

In this life

Sitting on a park bench

Thinking about a friend of mine

He was only twenty-three

Gone before he had his time.

It came without a warning

Classifying Philip and Annie wear glasses and so do Jim and Sue, but Jim and Sue have freckles, and Tracey and Sammy too. Philip and Jim are in boy’s group but Philip is tall like Sam whilst Jim is small like Tracey and Sue and Clare and Bill and Fran. Sue is in Guides and football whilst Helen fits in most things — except she’s a girl and quite tall. Jenny is curly and blonde and short whilst Sally is curly but dark; Jenny likes netball, writing and maths but Sally likes no kind of work. Philip and Sam are both jolly, Fran’s best for a quiet chat: now I have freckles, like joking, am tall, curly, dark, in Guides, football and play penny whistles and the piano… how do I fit into all that?

Englishman in New York
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York […] I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun

The Power of Pictures by Vickie An
In February, the group took a photography field trip to Haiti’s La Visite national park. A student holds up a lizard as her classmates snap away. It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Conservation photographer Robin Moore believes this. He especially believes that the stories photographs can tell about the environment can inspire people to care for the earth. “It doesn’t matter what language you speak or what culture you come from, because a photo can speak to everyone,” Moore says. That’s the idea behind Frame of Mind. Moore cofounded the organization last year with environmental educator Deanna Del Vecchio and fellow nature photographer Neil Ever Osborne. The group is on a mission to help young people around the ... Ver mais
