Big Food vs. Big InsuranceThose of you who get the co-op newsletter probably already saw this, but because it's come up in our discussions about health care and obesity, I thought I'd post it.
To put it more bluntly, the government is putting itself in the uncomfortable position of subsidizing both the costs of treating Type 2 diabetes and the consumption of high-fructose corn syrup.

Breaking Down Abortion Language In Health Bill
(background: Hyde Amendment)
When Congress Sells Out Women
Democrats face backlash over House abortion limits (they'd better!)
As if this legislation isn't a big enough give-away to insurance corporations, we have to have a give-away to the Catholic Church??

Massive restrictions on insurance company funding of abortion - essentially any plan that has any federal subsidy attached to it cannot cover abortion. This greatly expands beyond the Hyde Amendment's restrictions on federal funding of abortion (ie thru medicaid, which 17 states have created workarounds to fund abortions).
That first link above is super-quick read but NPR is having trouble at the moment. :-/

We have to come to grips with the fact that we live in a death culture. Trying to be a culture of life is too much work for too little of a return. It never works. Guns, the needle, dilation and extraction, chemicals...I'm all for it these days.

Hats!Category: shopping
As I've been working on compiling my Halloween costume, I've tried several hats and haven't been happy with them. I went to a party at the North Street Nickel City coop house Saturday night and some lovely woman let me borrow her adorable black velvet hat with rose detail but of course wanted it back as the she left. I wasn't quick enough to ask if I could rent it from her for this weekend's festivities. I had found a cute little half-hat at Patricia's, the crazy over-stuffed store next to East End Salon on Allen but I couldn't get it to sit right with my too-big head and too-thick hair. I highly recommend Patricia's for accessories. Adorable black velvet bag, elbow-length gloves... she even had white kid-leather elbow length gloves with the buttons at the wrist - they were gorgeous! They're something I've only read about. I feel like a bull in a china shop - the pathways are so narrow and everything is piled so high - so I just tell her what I need and she scurries around, digging deep into piles of furs, hats, suits, accessories, shoes, and random household items until she finds the perfect item. It's like a combination grandmother's attic, thrift store, and Claire's.
Anyway, so I checked out House of Randolph, 70 Allen St., hoping the cute fancy dresses in the window would be accompanied by hats. Irma, the owner, said she doesn't carry hats but did show me her gorgeous clothes "for us voluptuous women... the clothes are not for sticks." Really beautiful stuff and next time I need a fancy outfit, I'm going to try there first. As funky & cool as Allen Street Dress Shop is, they rarely have anything that fits me.
So I used the google machine to find "hats buffalo ny"... and I found Flashy Toppers over on Jefferson Ave. Stunning hats!!! They've got men's and women's hats, flashy and subdued. Very fun, great service. They've got a coupon in the Buffalo First coupon book, too. My hat has sequins, lace, and rhinestones and even came with a big huge proper hat box! Can't wait to wear it!

At the estrip party, Oscar the Grouch asked if I was a suffragist. It had crossed my mind but I hadn't focused on it until her question. I added a pin for Saturday night that read "Vote for the Woman Suffrage Amendment. Nov. 2nd, 1915" Very cool how the whole thing came together. I also ditched the cleavage-hiding scarf. ;-)

our food system is insane. I think stuff like this makes sense. Why do we subsidize corn syrup instead of healthy stuff?
Great Article. It is more then just about one kind of sickness. (maybe I listen to Bill Maher to much) But the stuff we eat if it doesn't make us sick directly it sure contributes. One could write another article on Heart Disease. I think another problem is Drugs. I love Alcohol but it does a lot of nasty stuff like lower the strength of your immune system and a bunch of other stuff. But see in this country we will all ways be taught to deal with things through drugs. Hey if that went away then why get cold medicine when you are sick, or get a script of something to make you happy. So I think it is also a battle with drug companies. I think education is key to all of this, and real education. Is it true that Oranges aren't really orange that a dye makes them that color? That can't be good. I love Sobe Life water is that good or bad, water plus Vitamins but it has sugar. What about low fat stuff? Hey it tastes about the same as the stuff with fat but what is worse the fat or the chemicals that make it low in fat? It is easy to say people should eat better but a lot of people, or just maybe me doesn't really know what that means. One last example Chinesse food, looks healthy and Tastes good. MSG is bad but I thought it doesn't have it any more so then how does it taste the same?
Same thing with Tobacco and child health care.
