Make your own burger?
I got a grinder for my kitchen aide after reading enough about how nasty ground beef can be, how hard it is to trace back to only one animal or even only one country, and what additions might be in it.

Crystal Lite, good or bad?
I have a difficult time drinking enough water, even more so when it's plain. Is Crystal Light good, bad? I use the little water bottle size packets, which I believe are 5 calories/each, but even then, if I can manage to drink 5-6 bottles a water through out the day, it's still LESS calories than drinking soft drinks.

Anyone had good results drinking matcha tea?
Hi everyone, I love green tea and have been drinking it for years after a friend suggested it might help with my long standing stomach/digestive problems.
