If you have a wireless network at home, you need to secure it. There are lifesucking organizations like MPAA and RIAA which track down file sharers and slap them with ridiculous law suites. But how do they "track" such people? By their IP address. If you share (voluntarily or unknowingly) your internet connection with others, then they are using YOUR IP. Thus, YOU could be help liable for something that some other slimeball did! Please secure your wireless connection, if you haven't already. Check out these tips: [Wireless Network Security Tips]

A while back, I bought a jar of "Reduced Fat Jif." Please note, this is NOT Reduced Fat Peanut Butter. If you examine the label closely, you will see that it is actually "Peanut Butter Spread," containing only 60% peanuts. What about the other 40%? Corn Syrup Solids, Sugar and Soy Protein --eww!! But that's the trade off you make if you want reduced fat, right?

Let's talk about that "reduced" fat. The label says: "Regular Peanut Butter contains 16g of fat per serving. Jif Reduced Fat contains 12g of fat per serving." OK. Well I have a "regular" jar of peanut butter. It is Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter (Creamy), and it contains 16g of fat. Out of that 16, 2.5g is Saturated Fat. [Saturated Fat is an evil, murderous type of fat which is second in vileness only to Trans Fat]. But what about the Jif? Surely it has less, since it is REDUCED Fat, right? ....WRONG!!! Jif Reduced Fat has 2.5g of Saturated Fat -the SAME amount as "Regular Peanut Butter."

So they left the SATURATED Fat alone, reduced the UNsaturated Fat by 4g, and in the process, created a product that cannot even be labeled as peanut butter. The Sodium is doubled. The Carbs are nearly tripled. And yet, the Fiber is cut in half. The moral of the story... READ YOUR LABELS!!!

There are a lot of people I know (friends & family) who are still getting their feet wet when it comes to the internet. While there are many benefits to the internet, people need to be cautious. The FTC has many useful suggestions for online shoppers. I advise everyone to check out this link: [FTC]
