That dietriffic site is pretty annoying. I had to put up with three successive pop-ups trying to push "free" diet books on me and get me to sign up for stuff from their site. For an article on how to say to no "pushers" that was pretty darn ironic.
Apologies for that Diane and thanks for the feedback.
While there was a mini pop-up toolbar on the bottom of that site, I didn't see any other pop-ups--either when I initially found the post and just now when I rechecked it.
That being said, for me, one popup is okay (I know bloggers need to pay some bills once in a while), but three is obviously too many. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

Maybe it's my browser then? Not sure, but very glad you and others may not have had the same problem.
I had the same experience at Dietriffic as Diane.
I do have a problem with sulfites. I don't get a headache, but by the time I'm halfway through a glass of (most) wine, I sound like I have the world's worst cold. So far, it's no worse than that.
thanks so much for the mention Daniel very sweet of you Rebecca
Great Michelin letter from Dave eh? I like Dave... but you already know I don't like one of his cohorts. ;)
The TV post reminded me of how I caught just 10 minutes of the news the other night on TV - really, this never happens, thank god - and they were talking about Prop 19, pros and cons. They decided to talk about how the majority of marijuana arrests in southern California are young blacks and Latinos.
I'd like to know how many people watching that stopped to critically think about this and realize that the statistics are what they are not because more blacks and Latinos smoke marijuana - ain't true anyway - but because blacks and Latinos are the ones the cops pull over more and question more and tail more and thus get caught with it.
This backwards presentation of cause and effect - one is really the other - happens in the news so often. It made me want to bang my head against something.
Wosnes, thanks for letting me know. I tried it again and STILL didn't have the multiple pop-ups, so maybe it's a browser setting then.
Chow and Chatter: no, thank you! What a great recipe.
Melissa: Don't bang your head against something! :) Instead, keep raising this issu--here, elswhere and on your blog too. The more we help make people aware of this, the more we'll all benefit.
