A health and fitness blog: With an occasional food item

The cutting edge of mediocrity

That's the nickname of a blog out of Utah, which in my opinion is far from mediocre. What a great title.
In local news, parts of our town look like a war zone after a tornado came through Thursday night. We've not had one touch down here since the 1950s. Even when the weather sirens go off, most of us are pretty nonchalant. Not anymore. If you are the praying kind, please keep our town in your thoughts, and also Enterprise, Ala., which suffered multiple deaths around a high school.
In news of the sorta weird, this New York Times story is about a cruise line that has non-trans-fat food options. Though I've never been on a cruise, I'm thinking, "What's the point if you can't put on the feedbag?" A spokeswoman for Crystal Cruises said: “It is not just about weight control; it is about health and not clogging your arteries," adding that French fries and salad dressings would still be available, only now they will be prepared with trans-fat-free oils, like sesame, pumpkin, walnut and corn seed.


P.S. About the photo, compliments of Crystal Cruise Lines--this guy is probably whispering: "Honey, I'm so thankful that roll didn't have any real butter in it."
