If this was an article for a health and wellness client, I couldn’t actually say food is medicine. In order to protect my client from lawsuits and such, I would have to say “food can be medicine.” But since I’m sharing my own opinions, I can say food is medicine. Yeah, don’t get too excited.

They narrate their snack time like mini influencers.” Where … Read the rest…

Now, I gotta tell ya. It takes a special way of squinting your eyes in order to be able to see a honey bee smile. But I’ve … Read the rest…
I saw an interesting boomer description this morning.
