Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine

Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine - "OK, so what does the minor political rant have to do with food as medicine you ask? Plenty.

Because of job and ensuing financial stress they go to sugar, lots of carbohydrates and low quality meats. With stress on the rise during this tough economic time worldwide, wallets and bank accounts depleted, it’s time to think of food as medicine."

Pet Storytelling Relieves Stress (like good food!)

Pet Storytelling Relieves Stress: "Storytelling is a great stress reliever. People love to tell pet stories. We all have one. What’s yours?"

Storytellers and their gregarious storytelling are popular pastimes in Louisiana. The more outrageous the better: swamp dragons are alligators and ghosts are, well, ghosts but of spectacular proportions.
