yoga for rehabilitation; maybe we should call them 'chocolate eaters'

and here's an interesting story on how kentucky is experimenting with yoga as a therapy for incarcerated women.

our current heroine? n'awlins-living bep de jonge, age 79. she swims, does yoga and her sensible diet includes a square of chocolate every day. you go, bep!

and speaking of chocolate, which europeans eat it the most? who spends more on it as a percentage of their income than any other?

the british and the irish! per capita, the brits eat 22 pounds of it a year; the irish 18. this makes us americans look lame, as we generally manage only 12 pounds annually. we're pretty close to those supposedly chocolate-crazed belgians, who find room for just 14 pounds each person per year.

naturally u.k. nutritionists are appalled. but maybe this is why so many of the brits i personally know maintain themselves in fine humor most of the time. . .

but maybe they are also secretly maintaining their cardiovascular health?
