WHY DO WE EAT, AND WHY DO WE GAIN WEIGHT?

Here are a few of the things that can make you hungry: seeing, smelling, reading, or even thinking about food. Hearing music that reminds you of a good meal.

Stereotypes

At the risk of enhancing stereotypes or inflaming passions I give you the following graphic. Each dot on the graphic indicates where Americans think Ukraine is.

Probably not the best start to the day ahead. The thing that has interested me over the past few days is how poorly the NASDAQ has been performing – to my eye it looks as if the uptrend from June has been breached. I will have a better look after the mornings data dump.
