A new NiceHole has been uncovered:
The SweetHole.
DO NOT GOOGLE THAT AT WORK, you will be put back on that list you had to work to get removed from.
The SweetHole is a NiceHole who provides some sort of confection as a way of saying "Aren't I wonderful?" Really, their intent is not to bring candy to co-workers and share some joy, it's just to get rid of stuff they aren't going to eat at home. Nice, but come on...
The road to this blog is paved with the good intentions of people who are retarded in a way you can't test for.
I've noted this before in THIS BLOG about good intentions. Candy in the workplace should be familiar, individually wrapped, and portable. You wanna sandbag 40 packages of Coconut M&Ms near the printer, GREAT, you should be canonized.
But you want to leave a box of "Orchard Fruits" (the smelly 3rd-cousin version of Fartlets&Craplets) along with those wax bottles filled with colored syrup out by the garbage cans?
What kind of skidwagon raised you?
Work candy should be, if NOT chocolate, close to it.
Everything else falls short and you should just stop trying to be nice to people. If you're not willing to fess-up that you shop for groceries at a drug store, then you aren't good with work candy. Stick with collecting Faerie Tale Cat Figurines.
NICEHOLES. They're everywhere.

A Nutrition Myth Laid Bare
Fat Burning Foods Myth
By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Creator Of Turbulence Training (LINKY!)
I have to admit something...I am going to upset a few of my good
friends when I crush this nutrition myth. But if I have to
sacrifice myself in order to help you out, then that's what I have
to do.
So here's the final (and most ridiculous) nutrition myth...
The Myth - Fat Burning Foods Exist
This. Is. Wrong.
Fat burning foods are the "unicorns" of the nutrition world.
They do not exist.
And when you think about it, the term doesn't make sense.
How can a food cause you to burn fat?
It can't.
Foods GIVE you energy.
They don't cause you to burn fat.
When you eat food, the hormonal changes in your body SLOW fat burning, they don't speed it up - no matter what you eat!
Listen, the experts mean well.
They want to show you a list of foods that will help you with fat loss, but it is a myth that "fat burning foods" exist.
And yes, they are right that whole, natural foods such as chicken breasts, eggs, nuts, fruits, and vegetables all help you lose fat by
controlling your appetite and by not causing you to gain fat, but NOT ONE of those ingredients actually burns fat.
Now some might argue that eating hot peppers or caffeine or even green tea can burn fat, but do you seriously think that eating those foods is even 1/1000th as effective as a workout?
They aren't.
Sorry.
Instead, keep your nutrition SIMPLE. Focus on whole, natural foods and limit high-calorie, high-sugar foods to just a couple of treats per week. (ed. note: YOU WILL SURVIVE, PROMISE) Combine that with your favorite Turbulence Training
workouts and you'll lose fat fast.
