There is a lot of bad stuff on the internet, but my low carb friends and I are using the internet as a tool for justice. That feels pretty good! So, in the interest of justice, the rest of the post has NOTHING to do with diet frauds or diet scams. But it has everything to do with justice.
Please take a moment to read, verify, think the following information over. I am a proudly patriotic girl and staunch supporter of the U.S. military. And, the information below makes me even more PROUD!
Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people? Did you know that 3,100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 new schools are now under construction; and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq?

If the so-called journalists in this country had the balls to cover the real news, maybe the United States would get credit for some of the good we do in the world. All these facts are verifiable at http://www.defenselink.mil/ .
God bless the U.S.A.
