White House chef Sam Kass talks about making dinner for the Obama family and the importance of a healthy diet.
Kass works with First Lady Michelle Obama on her Let’s Move initiative. Its mission is to solve the problem of childhood obesity in the United States.
These programs do a lot of good but often news of them doesn’t get out to the public.
Plus, just look at Sam. It’s a minute and a half of happiness 🙂

Rebel Wilson, with PITCH PERFECT cast mate Anna Kendrick, promotes the movie and shows off her off-handed, fab comedic self.
I met Rebel earlier this year at the premiere of A FEW BEST MEN with Olivia Newton-John. It was clear then, as now, that Rebel is very talented and has a huge career in front of her.
She makes me laugh…
From AIDSMeds:
HIV treatment is now officially free for all who need it in England, including undocumented migrants and non-United Kingdom citizens, as per legislation that went into effect October 1, and has been reviewed in detail by aidsmap.
Other countries of the U.K may still technically charge for HIV treatment, depending on immigration status. However, this this hasn’t been actively pursued in Scotland or Wales in recent years; in Northern Ireland, charges for HIV treatment have sometimes been rigorously enforced.
The National AIDS Trust (NAT), aidsmap reports, has called for a formal change in the law in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to ensure that free universal access to HIV treatment is guaranteed across the U.K., not just in England.
I agree with Chris Matthews here. Last night was President Obama’s opportunity to begin the end of the campaign. Instead, he gave Romney a chance to get his footing before Election Day.
I understand that the President was going for “look Presidential, cool, and calm” but it came off “lackluster.”
This morning on MSNBC, David Axelrod – adviser to President Obama said:
“I understand there was a hunger for us to attack Romney more personally than the president did last night,” he allowed. “The president was talking to the American people…treating the American people like adults.”
Axelrod said the president would “review” his performance and “if he wants to make some changes in the next debate he will do so.”
I don’t think this will affect the election at this point as there are so few undecideds, and Obama has solid margins in important swing states like Ohio.
But he can’t afford another one of these.
I break into a cold sweat when I even start to think of a Romney administration.

From ASAPScience – Your brain on marijuana broken down for you in two minutes.
I love these videos. I’m a curious guy and wonder how things work.
I’m not a marijuana guy, but I don’t have a problem with other folks enjoying it. However, it’s cool to understand exactly what is happening when smoking pot. And interesting to know that the chemicals involved are similar to ones already at work in our brains.
Anyway – interesting stuff in two minutes for this short attention span guy…

A new NBC Latino/IBOPE Zogby survey reveals that a solid majority of Latinos support marriage equality:
“Thirty eight percent said they disagree and 31 percent said they did so strongly…The statistics don’t mean there is complete acceptance of gays by Latinos, however. When it came to the biggest disappointment a parent would feel regarding their children, 43 percent said it would be if their child became a drug addict. Going to prison was the biggest disappointment for 33 percent of those surveyed. But 10 percent said having a gay child would be their biggest issue, while only 5 percent said a teen pregnancy would be their greatest disappointment.”
