Way to go Wal-Mart

There is some good news for people who wish to eat healthier. The major chain of Wal-Mart has decided to push it’s suppliers to supply healthier foods. They want products with lower sodium as well as sugar. This has advocates of healthier eating very happy.

Wal-Mart is able to do this because they are a major seller of food items. Companies want their business and are willing to change their ways in order to keep their business. I think this is a great idea and I thank Wal-Mart for putting their foot down and improving the eating habits of Americans.

First responders

I was glad to hear last night that congress passed a bill that is intended to help the first responders for the tragedy of 911. The bill passed by a margin of 206 to 60. The bill provides funds to monitor the health of those who helped clean up the mess after the incident.

The bill will also reopen the compensation fund for survivors and families of the victims. Many of the responders are suffering from asthma and lung problems due to inhaling the dust at the cleanup site. I think it is only right to help these people after all they have done for us.

A struggle

It can be very difficult for a single parent to raise a child. I have a close friend at work that does it and it’s been a very trying time for her. Her son has reached his teenage years and has become very difficult to handle. The boys name is John and he has been getting into a lot of trouble with drugs. He stays out late with his friends sometimes doesn’t come home at all. She has tried everything she knows, but she can’t seem to control him anymore.

I volunteered to help her out in any way I could. The first thing I did was to go on the internet to find teen addiction info. This way I could help her make good decisions about how to go forward. After looking at several sites on the internet, I thought that I would recommend a teen drug rehab program for her son. Getting her son professional help seemed like a good idea to me.

I think that having her son in an environment that was geared toward recovery would help a lot. I think this young man will have a great future if we can take care of this problem. Getting him the teen drug treatment that he needs will be a great first step in that direction. I’m sure that it will all work out.

Resume the drilling

Ever since the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. government has had a ban on deep sea drilling. After much agitation by oil companies and workers on the coast, the Obama administration is lifting the ban. The move comes after worries that the ban will hurt the democrats during the next election.

The Obama administration says that the new safety rules that were put in place will be adequate to keep drilling operations safe. They also say the move will bring back much needed jobs to the region. I hope the oil companies will be extra careful in their operations.

Red Wine

New studies are always coming out. Once in a while there is a surprise. This happened to me when I heard that those who drink a moderate amount of alcohol every day outlive those who abstain on average. Red wine is the drink that experts prefer.

For those who drink 1 to 3 drinks a day, the benefits of wine are clear. It reduces stress and wine has many healthful benefits. A drink or two after work tends to calm people down and helps them ease into social situations. I think I’ll have a drink of my own!

Medicare fraud

Since the Obama administration has been working hard to fix the Medicare program, they have come up with many ideas on how to save money. One way they have identified was to eliminate fraud. It is estimated that millions of dollars are wasted every year on fraudulent payments. The problem is being made worse by investigators who are not doing their job.

A recent investigation showed that contractors hired to find fraudulent claims are doing a poor job. Some senators are looking into the situation and are shocked by the low number of prosecutions. The good news is that the whole program is being revamped and officials hope that fraudulent claims will diminish as a result.

Eggs are good?

One thing I really like in the morning is a good breakfast. My personal favorite is bacon and egg sandwiches. That’s why I was so concerned when I heard about the recent recall of millions of eggs. The shells carry bacteria called salmonella that can make you very sick. I can’t afford to get sick in this economy.

So far, over 380 million eggs have been recalled. I hope that investigators will be able to pinpoint the source and wipe these bacteria out. For now, I have avoided buying eggs from this dealer until they can prove the eggs are safe.
