The Obese English, Vaccines and Autism, Job Loss and Wellness Coaching

• Please excuse me while I indulge in wellness (or un-wellness) schadenfreude. The US may have poor health habits, but it turns out that Britain is the "sickest" country in Europe. Their twenty-three percent obesity rate is twice that of France, and almost equal to ours. So what keeps those svelte French so healthy?

• Check out the Huffington Post for an interesting exchange of prevention-policy articles between those who bemoan the dangers of "going unvaccinated" and those who believe there is evidence connecting America's "autism epidemic" to vaccines.

• What does job loss have to do with wellness? See a kind-hearted and thoughtful discussion on the real meaning of "wellness" by wellness coach Ellen Brown.
