  The Fast Food CRAZE :: A book by Tina Volpe
She substantiates it by saying that we, as humans, do not have teeth capable of tearing flesh, nor do we have a digestive system that is designed to digest animal protein before decay or fermentation takes place.
The concern shown by Volpe in "The Fast Food Craze" unfortunately is not a national concern, however, every reader of this book will have to stop and think of their own personal choices they must make.
The Fast Food Craze is a perfect guidebook for beginner vegetarians or people who think seriously about their health--and the well being of animals.

 FROF Articles - Stock Options Drowning With Market Downturn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
By providing executives with a form of equity-based compensation, it is widely believed that the interests of management will be more closely aligned with the interests of shareholders and management will be appropriately incentivized to enhance shareholder value.
In recent years, with the skyrocketing stock market and the dot.com craze, the use of stock options further expanded so that even rank-and-file employees were eagerly accepting stock options in lieu of current cash compensation.
Directors and shareholders are now faced with the delicate balance of maintaining equity-based incentive compensation systems for employees whose options are underwater while still being fair to investors whose stock accounts have also been battered.

 REVIEWS: Stock picking for everyone -DAWN - Books and Authors; June 5, 2005
For investors in Pakistan, there is probably no better time to read Malkiel’s account, battered as they have been by the stock market crash in March and the jitters that have haunted the share market since.
Malkiel begins his walk down Wall Street by showing investors that learning lessons from the spectacular crazes of the past is critical in order not to repeat the same mistakes.
In accounts of the biggest speculative manias from history — deafeningly reminiscent of the irrational rush for OGDC futures contracts at the Karachi Stock Exchange till March this year — Malkiel gives life to the madness of the crowds from the 17th century till the 1990s.

 Drowning Statistics Show Importance of Swimming Pool Safety
New statistics released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) shows that except for motor vehicle accidents, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of five.
Most of the drowning accidents (76 per cent) happened when the kids were not swimming, but were playing or walking near water and fell in.
Former Canadian figure skating champion Barbara Underhill, whose eight-month-old daughter drowned in a backyard pool accident 12 years ago, says, "As children move beyond the toddler stage, learning to swim is a necessary life skill.

Craze doesn't drop topical references, nor does she patronize her narrator as adults taking on a child's voice often do.
The awkward, confusing period between childhood and adulthood is a well-worn subject, but May's voice is so compelling that it makes her travails seem brand-new.
Craze has a particular knack for simple but evocative descriptions: school is "a private park that only certain people have the key to"; giving up a long-treasured wish is "like letting the brightest purple kite fall down from the sky." These precisely crafted images add to the book's classic feel.

 Stay away from that Beaujolais Nouveau, sucker. - By Mike Steinberger - Slate Magazine
But, of course, snobbery is one of the engines driving the wine market, and the Nouveau craze, with its populist appeal, had the effect of making Beaujolais an object of disdain among the sophisticates, ever determined to stay two steps ahead of the riffraff.
To cash in on the craze, growers naturally planted as many vines as they could and pushed crop yields into the stratosphere.
Now that the region is drowning in an ocean of plonk, the harm is readily apparent.

The sex-tourism side of Albrecht, the ballet's playboy hero, is amusingly pointed; he's a flamboyant bisexual cowboy from Bratislava who starts a line-dancing craze among these exploitable half-wits.
Keegan-Dolan's sharp text and big performances from the hammy Simon Rice as the nymphomaniac village nurse, Daphne Strothmann as the helpless Giselle, and, above all, Michael M Dolan's as a truly tragic Hilarion turn this tortured amplification into a convincing new entity.

That's the message from last week's latest balance sheet convulsion to shake what was once known reverentially in certain parts as the House Of Luce.
The charge-off in question - which removes $54 billion in balance sheet goodwill from the company's books - amounts, in effect, to a complete repudiation of whatever sense may have once been thought to lurk in the January 2000 merger of America Online and Time Warner Inc. in the first place.
That deal began as a so-called "merger of equals" at the absolute zenith of the dot-com craze on Wall Street.

In addition to her intelligence, sense of fun, and amazing ability to save a drowning swimmer, diagnose and treat an injury within seconds, or escape from any number of treacherous situations, often while dressed in a perfectly matching skirt and heels, Nancy was, and has remained, the quintessential Nice Girl.
Her long-suffering boyfriend Ned Nickerson became a regular fixture in the series in 1932, but there was never a hint of a long-term commitment that might require sex of any kind.
A sociologist asked by McCall's magazine to analyze the continuing Nancy craze in the early '70s, right around the time that Congress finally passed the Equal Rights Amendment, echoed the point: ''We sense things are changing very quickly.

This is one of the weaker efforts that emerged from the nostalgia craze of the 1970s.

The sound recording and mixing is at a high-school skill level, with the grating 1970s quasi-doo-wop music completely drowning out important dialogue at several points.

By the end of 1983, the duo had recruited bassist Simon Raymonde from a band called the Drowning Craze, and sped into '84 with a UK hit single called "Pearly-Dewdrops Drops.
Although the band now refute accusations that they've spent much of their career being willfully obscure, there's no doubt they've picked a path of greatest resistance: rarely releasing singles to trail forthcoming albums, touring only when it was least expected, staying clear of virtually all TV appearances and giving nothing away at interviews.
