this freakishly cold weather is making me cranky. . .

and when i get cranky, look out! however, i just can't get worked up about yet another article complaining how americans are ruining yoga. maybe this is because i've had an ayurvedic consulation with dr. scott gerson and that anti-stress pitta carob jam is working.

(you're all asking yourselves: this woman can stand carob, aka "fake chocolate"? friends, i grit my teeth and do it for my soul. . .)

but seriously, while i personally don't do bikram, i know people who love his yoga, and more power to them. the great thing about yoga is that even if you start out doing it purely as a quest for that supermodel-yoga-butt, it will get to you, and you will be affected. so while it may appear at this moment that americans are changing yoga, trust me, yoga will have the last laugh here.

now in my most recent rant about that tired subject, child slave labor on the cocoa plantations of the ivory coast, you may recall that i wondered what chocolate manufacturers used ivory coast produce. and the answer, my friends, is here. among chocolate makers with dirty hands seem to be cemoi and barry callebaut.

let's all write them and ask what they planning to do to improve this situation. . .
