WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- People who say they are addicted to chocolate or pizza may not be exaggerating, U.S.-based scientists said Tuesday.
A brain scan study of normal, hungry people showed their brains lit up when they saw and smelled their favorite foods in much the same way as the brains of cocaine addicts when they think about their next snort.
"Food presentation significantly increased metabolism in the whole brain (by 24 percent) and these changes were largest in superior temporal, anterior insula, and orbitofrontal cortices," they wrote.
These areas are associated with addiction.
An estimated 30 percent of Americans are obese, meaning they have a body mass index of more than 30. This ratio of height to weight usually works out to being about 30 pounds overweight for a woman and 35 to 40 pounds overweight for a man.
Wang and colleagues studied 12 men and women with an average age of 28. The volunteers fasted for just under a day and then underwent positron emission tomography, or PET scans, which measure brain metabolism.
They were asked to describe their favorite foods and how they like to eat them while they were presented with some of those foods.
"A cotton swab impregnated with the food was placed in their tongues so they could taste it," the researchers wrote.
"The favorite food items most frequently selected by the subjects were bacon-egg-cheese sandwich, cinnamon bun, pizza, hamburger with cheese, fried chicken, lasagna, barbecue, ice cream, brownie, and chocolate cake."
Several leading addiction experts worked on the report including Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Lowes
Ok... my lowes checks are going to be on average 475$ more than my best buy checks... which means ryan can finally start working on his truck and also possibly buy this 40 ford he has his eye on. It also means he can ahead some. Plus lowes is cool... all the people in my department are in 6heir 60's and 70's and act like they are 15 so its fun. Plus the 9 hours I"m there every day (8 housr of work and an hour lunch break, and I only live a block away so I can come home for lunch) go by incredibly fast... sure I sweat an awful lot and come home stinking to high heaven, (they also make sure you take both of your 15 minute breaks unlike best buy saying shit like "oh you don't need a break") but I'm getting 640 before tax every check apposed to 165ish after tax every check. my first check is only gonna be like 300ish before tax becasue there will only be one week on it... but that 1 week of works pay is equal to nearly 4 best buy weeks of pay.
Oooh

There are these six dangers associated with idleness. Thinking: "It's too cold," one does not work. Thinking: "It's too hot," one does not work. Thinking: "It's too early," one does not work. Thinking: "It's too late," one does not work. Thinking: "I am too hungry," one does not work. Thinking: "I am too full," one does not work.

There are these seven conditions which overtake an angry man or woman which are gratifying and helpful to a rival. What seven?
Take the case of one who wishes of a rival: "I wish he were ugly." And why? One does not like a beautiful rival. This person, overwhelmed and subverted by anger even though he is bathed, anointed, with trimmed hair and beard and clad in clean clothes - for all that, he is ugly because of his anger.
Then, take the case of one who wishes this of a rival: "I hope he sleeps badly." And why? One does not like a rival to sleep well. This person, being overwhelmed and subverted by anger, despite lying on a bed spread with fleecy cover, spread with white blankets and woollen cover embroidered with flowers, covered by an antelope skin, with awning above and red cushions at each end - he sleeps badly because of his anger.
Again, take the case of one who wishes this of a rival: "I hope he becomes poor." And why? One does not like a rich rival. This person, being overwhelmed and subverted by anger, owning whatever possessions, earned by vigour, gathered up by strength of arm and sweat of brow righteously and lawfully - the king will order them all sent to the royal treasury because he is overwhelmed by anger.
Once again, take the case of one who wishes this of a rival: "I wish he was without fame." And why? One does not like a famous rival. For this sort of person, being overwhelmed and subverted by anger, whatever fame he has earned falls away because he is overwhelmed by anger.
Again, take the case of one who wishes this of a rival: "I hope he has no friends." And why? One does not like a rival with friends. As for this person, being overwhelmed and subverted by anger, whatever friends, intimates, relatives and kin he has will all avoid him and keep away from him because he is overwhelmed by anger.
And finally, take the case of one who wishes this of a rival: "I hope he goes to hell." And why? One does not like a rival to go to heaven. This person, overwhelmed and subverted by anger, misconducts himself in body, speech, and mind and thus goes to hell himself.
These are the seven conditions which overtake the angry man or woman which are gratifying and helpful to a rival.

One's patience should be strengthened by thinking: "Those who have no patience are afflicted in this world and do actions that lead to affliction in the next life." One should think: "Although this suffering arises because of the wrong deeds of others, my body is the field for that suffering, and the actions which brought it into being are mine." One should think: "This suffering will free me from the debt of kamma." One should think: "If there were no wrongdoers, how could I bring patience to perfection?" One should think: "Although he is a wrongdoer now, in the past he may have been my benefactor." One should think: "A wrongdoer is at the same time a benefactor because through him patience can be practised." One should think: "All beings are like my own children and who would get angry over the misdeeds of one's own children?" One should think: "He does me wrong because of some fault in myself, I should strive to remove this."

Whatever harm an enemy can do to an enemy,
Or a hater to a hater,
An ill-directed mind
Causes oneself even greater harm.
No mother or father
Or any other kin
Can do greater good for oneself
Than a well-directed mind.

Whatever a Tathagata utters, speaks and proclaims between the day of his enlightenment and the day he dies, all that is factual, not otherwise, and that is why he is called "Tathagata".
