Grrrrr. The dog ate my dinner.

     I had my leftover BBQ tofu sitting on the counter while I heated my tea.  When I came back, my tofu was gone and Charleigh was skulking out of the kitchen.  Tofu?  She steals and eats tofu right after eating her own dinner.  What kind of a dog eats tofu?  The same kind of dog who eats plastic, paper, cloth and anything else within her purview.  I've got to give her credit....she left the cauliflower alone.  Looking at the photos from the Dog Shaming website lets me know that I'm not alone.

     Interesting report published just before the high-calorie holidays........
     CNN just reported on an article published in the British Medical Journal, the Lancet.  Obesity is a bigger health crisis globally than is hunger, and is the leading cause of disabilities around the world.  500 researchers in 50 countries compared health data from 1990 to 2010 for the Global Burden of Disease report.  With the exception of sub-Saharan Africa, every country faces alarming obesity rates, an increase of 82% globally since 1990.  So, obesity causes more of a health burden globally than does hunger.  The Western lifestyle is being adopted around the world and the results are the same.
