Listen, I get it.  I'm part hermit myself.  But the missing Richard Simmons?  What's up?   The "fitness guru, who hasn't been seen in public for three years, is fine, fine, fine," says older brother Lenny Simmons.   While rumors still swirl, what didn't change from Simmons' previous life, was his example, at teaching positive body image and good health practices.          story

There is such a thing as Major League Eating - and I mean beyond the hot dog affairs.  Professional competitive food eaters exist.  For instance, days ago Gideon 'The Truth' Oji kicked major kale butt.  He's champion of the World's First Kale Eating Contest.   (Should you feel like preparing for next year - work yourself up to over twenty-five and a half bowls.)   " 'I'm a health and fitness professional, and I've been on the road eating chicken, hot dogs, and all-American foods,' Oji said after hoisting the trophy."    Healthy.  Riiigght.  news

SUPER TACO BELL

Superbowl was a good time.  Commercials were meh.  And I liked the Coldplay (and friends) halftime show.     
Taco Bell's commercial used Live Más (English translation-"more") as their slogan.  (Wee reminder:  in taco language however, there is nothing as awesome as the classic SNL taco town commercial parody.)    More can be better, but using discretion never hurts.
