Is Religion Ruining Our Health?
From the comments
on the above article:
People should keep in mind religion is man made and therefore subject
to the foibles of the human race. Spirituality, however, is a personal
journey that takes years of soul searching to begin to understand.
Rejecting aspects of religion is not a valid reason to deny your own
spirituality.

The Hacker's Diet: How to
lose weight and hair through stress and poor nutrition, by John Walker
The Hacker's Diet, notwithstanding its silly subtitle, is
a serious book about how to lose weight and permanently maintain whatever
weight you desire. It treats dieting and weight control from an engineering
and management standpoint, and provides the tools and an understanding of
why they work and how to use them that permit the reader to gain control of
their own weight. The book is intended primarily for busy, successful engineers,
programmers, and managers who have struggled unsuccessfully in the past to
lose weight and avoid re-gaining it.

Fred J. Schaafsma, a top engineer for General Motors, says, "Sport-utility owners tend to be more like 'I wonder how people view me,' and are more willing to trade off flexibility or functionality to get that. "According to Bradsher, internal industry market research concluded that S.U.V.s tend to be bought by people who are insecure, vain, self-centered, and self-absorbed, who are frequently nervous about their marriages, and who lack confidence in their driving skills. Ford's S.U.V. designers took their cues from seeing "fashionably dressed women wearing hiking boots or even work boots while walking through expensive malls. "Toyota's top marketing executive in the United States, Bradsher writes, loves to tell the story of how at a focus group in Los Angeles "an elegant woman in the group said that she needed her full-sized Lexus LX 470 to drive up over the curb and onto lawns to park at large parties in Beverly Hills. "One of Ford's senior marketing executives was even blunter: "The only time those S.U.V.s are going to be off-road is when they miss the driveway at 3 a. am."
But at the reptilian level they think that if I am bigger and taller I'm safer. You feel secure because you are higher and dominate and look down. That you can look down is psychologically a very powerful notion. And what was the key element of safety when you were a child? It was that your mother fed you, and there was warm liquid. That's why cupholders are absolutely crucial for safety. If there is a car that has no cupholder, it is not safe. If I can put my coffee there, if I can have my food, if everything is round, if it's soft, and if I'm high, then I feel safe.
Having the engine provide power to all four wheels, safety experts point out, does nothing to improve braking, although many S.U.V. owners erroneously believe this to be the case.
In the age of the S.U.V., this is what people worry about when they worry about safety—not risks, however commonplace, involving their own behavior but risks, however rare, involving some unexpected event.
