The weather folks yesterday blamed the “haze” in St. Louis on the fires in BC.
So, your fires must be something. Hope it gets better soon.

Most of us don't think much about health until face issues. And I'm no exception. When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I was ready to eat and drink anything to solve the problem. But unfortunately, there is no cure. Yes, I'm on tecfidera and it works for me, but it only slows the process down. And of course, I read much about this disease. The latest research proved that certain probiotics can improve gut bacteria in people with MS. Now I have to avoid certain foods like processed meats, refined carbs, junk foods, trans fats, and sugar-sweetened beverages. I don't eat red meat now, though I loved burgers and ate them all my life. To be honest, if I could change something in the past, it would be my nutrition.Good morning! Walking out side with Whipper I could not believe it. It felt like Fall! Tempest confirmed 62˚F. As soon as the sun comes out we will turn into a solar hot house and temps will rise to the upper 90s. I have seen 97˚ this week but we still have not hit the hundreds in actual temps.
Drew you can call it healthier eating when you compare it to eating animal based burgers/sausage.
What happens when you compare the trans fats, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol levels in plant-based versus animal-based burgers?
Comparing labels of the burgers and looking at four of the worst components of the food supply—trans fats, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol—the plant-based burgers win hands down when it comes to trans fat and cholesterol. We all know trans fats as a serious potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, but it’s also been recently associated with symptoms of depression, lower testosterone in men—even at just 1 percent of calories—and dementia. Higher levels of trans fat in the blood is associated with up to a 50 percent higher risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s.
Now that partially hydrogenated oils have been phased out of the food supply, the only major source of trans fats left will be from animal products.
“We can’t tell people to stop eating all meat and all dairy products,” he said. “Well, we could tell people to become vegetarians,” he added. “If we were truly basing this only on science we would, but it is a bit extreme.”
