Information That Matters
With the holidays in full swing you maybe so busy trying to get ready with all of your shopping, sending cards, decorating and attending holiday parties that you have found little or no time to give much thought to what you will be serving for dinner that special day...If of course you are hosting this years holiday dinner and if your not, then maybe this will give you some idea of what You Can Contribute to the dinner you have been invited to!

So today instead of bringing you just one recipe I thought it would be a good idea to bring you an entire page of holiday dinner menus and recipes to give thought to, they include everything from the main course, side dishes and all the way through dessert!

Holiday Dinner Menus



I hope this post will help you out at this busy time of year and hope you're having a great holiday season!

Amazon Deforestation was nearly 4% higher than last year.

The government said that this figure was unsatisfactory but could have been a lot worse if it had not taken action against illegal logging.

High commodity prices had allegedly tempted farmers to clear more land and in response the government announced a series of measures to clamp down on illegal logging.

Brazil's Environment Minister said that without actions like this, the figures could have been much higher. Many had expected an increase of 30-40% but they managed to stabilize it.

Environmental groups will be watching the situation carefully to see if the resolve and resources they say are needed to protect the Amazon region are in place.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

More and more these days obese children and teens cardiovascular systems are more like that of 45 year olds than children and these kids in turn are showing up with middle-aged conditions such as accelerated risks of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and even death.

According to federal statistics more then 16% of young people, ages 2 to 19, are considered obese in America.

Previous studies have reported that growing numbers of children with risk factors for heart disease are showing signs of narrowing and hardening of the arteries, conditions typically associated with adults.

Youngsters most at risk are those with body mass index or BMI at or above the 95th percentile and those who have abnormally high cholesterol levels.

These are alarming statistics to say the least. America is know all over the World to be a Nation of overweight and obese people and when it starts effecting our children we should start thinking it's time to do something Now...not a week from now!

If you have an obese child or know someone that does or if you would like to know more about this subject go to:

If you have a body mass index or BMI between 28 and 40, need to lose less than a hundred pounds and have no chronic health conditions then Gastroplasty may be for you.

Until now shrinking the stomach for weight loss was done through lengthy and risky surgery, but a new procedure can do it in under an hour with no cutting.

It's called Gastroplasty, a new experimental weight loss procedure that shrinks stomach size without surgery. It's done by going in through the mouth and down the esophagus, stitching together parts of the stomach to make it smaller, so no anatomy is removed only the tunnel is made a bit smaller but the results are basically the same as Gastric Bypass surgery, you are not as hungry so you eat smaller amounts thus loosing weight.

The procedure that takes up to 45 minutes to perform and patients go home within half an hour to an hour after the procedure.

The procedure costs $8,900 and insurance companies will not cover it now because it's still considered experimental, but hopefully this procedure will soon be recognized and insurance companies will include it in their health packages.
