		<description><![CDATA[The horrific bombings and murders in Norway are abhorrent. The issues underneath the headlines are pretty upsetting too. Just some basic facts: the suspect is Andrew Breivik, he wrote a 1500 page manifesto which apparently includes anti-immigrant, pro-Christian, take-back-the-government opinions on European life. Lots of hatred toward Muslims and Marxists is in there as well. [...]]]></description>

And how hard it is to get good people to want to become teachers when they are treated so badly and paid so poorly [...]]]></description>

One such example is obesity, and one of it&#8217;s main causes: the artist formerly known as high fructose corn syrup.
