New eating disorders hit the market

Two new eating disorders have entered the mill joining classics like overeating, bulimia, and anorexia. The two eating disorders in question are adult picky eating and orthorexia or excessive healthy eating. Adult picky eating is considered so when taken to the extreme of eating to the point that the person can only eat a dozen or so different foods and orthorexia is when the person eats so excessively healthy that they loose an extreme amount of weight. One woman diagnosed took it so far that she would only eat raw cauliflower and broccoli and lost nearly 60 pounds because of it.

Neither of these disorders is listed as an official eating disorder and so treatment is not covered by insurance. However, each has a number of serious side affects including extreme wight loss or weight gain and malnutrition.

I personally don't think adult picky eating can be considered a disorder. I am a picky eater but I can always find something to eat. It's not a disorder to have certain tastes. If yoy don't like spinach you shouldn't have to eat it. Listing these things as a disorder only makes people feel bad about themselves and is probably adding to the issues we face in society.

Children's games too dangerous

New York politicians came dangerously close to passing a ball that would deem popular children's games like wiffle ball, kick ball, red rover and tag too dangerous for day camp goers. These games are deemed risky of significant injury.

Many were angered over the attempt to regulat beloved games. Republican Patricia Ritchie stated "It's overregulation by the state of things that have been around for years and years."

Personally, I think its ridiculous and outrageous. Any kid that doesn't live in a box has played one if not all of these games and they only bettered them. You know what these games are called? EXCERCISE! What ever happened to getting out and doing something? Apparently the democrats of New York would rather be fat and lazy. Play hard or don't play at all in my opinion. My cousin is the only person I have ever seen get hurt by a wiffle ball, and that's just because he got his finger stuck in one of the holes.

New hottest pepper

Watch out ghost chii, there's a new chili in town. It's been reported that there is a new world's hottest chili. It goes by the title Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, or just Butch T for short. It rates 1.46 million heat units in comparison to jalepenos 5000 heat units. The pepper is so powerful, handlers have to wear gloves when touching it. Making salsa involves full protective gear and masks.

Personally, I think this is RIDICULOUS! Who would ever want to even look at something this hot? All this would bring you is pain, intense, severe, flaming pain. It would hurt going in and hurt going out. You've got to be crazy to create it and even crazier to taste it.

Alabama House passes anti immigration law

The Alabama house has passed an anti-immigrant law that will enable officials to check status of alleged immigrants. It will also allow potential employers to run a check on immigration status. Just as the bill in Arizona, this bill does not mean cops can pull you over because you look like an immigrant. Officials will only be able to check with good reason: ie the person is already detained for speeding, dui, disorderly conduct etc.

The bill has yet to pass in the Senate, but it was not even close in the house with a defeat of 73-28. Similar bills are passing across the country.
"We cannot allow Alabama to become a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants," Rep. Micky Hammon, a Republican who sponsored the bill, told the House.

I personally think the bill is a great idea. It's something to regulate. It does not enable officials to kick people out of the country and if they don't have good reason to check papers then they won't be checking papers. Jobs are at a low right now and opportunities to free up jobs should not be taken lightly. If these people want to become citizens the right way, that's one thing, but they don't. They are living in this country, receiving free health care, and taking jobs hard working Americans could have.

AT&T to buy T-Mobile

AT&T, the technology mogul has announced that they will be buying T-Mobile. The deal would top out at $39 million but wouldn't take affect until a year from now.

This would mean that T-Mobile would have a much wider selection of phones, contract plans, and service. However, T-Mobile users will no longer get unlimited data packages, one of the big draws for T-Mobile.

While the deal would mean more service for users that are grandfathered in, it would most likely mean higher prices for everyone. As Cingular has already been bought out, there are fewer and fewer cell phone options. This means not only will AT&T charge more for their services, Verizon and Sprint will also have to charge more in order to compete. I personally am against the idea. AT&T is turning into a Monopoly and soon its only going to be AT&T and Verizon. If this happens, cell phone bills will be through the roof.
