“A new survey from Insite Security and IBOPE Zogby International of those with liquid assets of $1 million or more found that 94% of respondents are concerned about the global unrest around the world today. ... the numbers are backed up by other trends seen throughout the world of wealth today: the rich keeping a lower profile, hiring $230,000 guard dogs, and arming their yachts, planes and cars with military-style security features.”

My Trainer and I
So after we work out, I usually give my trainer a Thai massage. I’m shoving his legs around and we are chatting about this and that. He tells me how his wife (a lovely yogini I know personally) is trying to edge him over into vegetarianism. I was sort of struck by this, only because my trainer’s body is really magnificent. He is a young man in the prime of life, in the fullest flower of serious fitness. I mean, wow. He’s not a fitness model but he is right up there. And it’s sort of gross of me, but all I could think was, why would she want to implement any change that might decrease this guy’s amazing body?! She gets to enjoy it whenever she wants… why would she want to weaken it?
I suppose the answer is, she honestly believes vegetarianism would improve him. But no. Sorry, sweetie. Just no.
