Systemic Sickness
Erica has a wonderful post up at Shakesville today that speaks to the literal sickness of our society. We know that being obese is correllated to being low income, and that stress makes you sick. Could inequality be the real reason for the 'obesity e…
The value of good service: Jigsy!
