Thanksgiving Travel: Are Airport Security Scanners Really Bad for Your Health? (Rocky Flats Gear Hopes You Think So)


For the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, Colorado-based company Rocky Flats Gear has introduced a new travel accessory: Radiation-shielding undergarments. Their bras and briefs “can protect tissues from a broadband of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation generated by imaging equipment and natural sources,” according to their website, which also states that the company’s goal is to protect the traveling public from radiation generated by security and medical imaging equipment. They offer a wide variety of styles for men, women, and children, but their site provides very little evidence that the leaf-shaped shields that are adhered to cotton underwear could really protect us.

We’ve never seen the appeal of getting up at dawn on the day after Thanksgiving to compete against hoards of shoppers to get the best deals. (Have they even heard of eBay?) But now that the green movement is in full swing, we can blame our Black Friday boycotts on anti-consumerism rather than our own lazy, antisocial habits. So, instead of celebrating sales, we’ll be participating in Buy Nothing Day next Friday. … More »

Pre-New Year’s Resolutions: Will You Dial Back Your Holiday Gluttony This Year?


Exactly one week from now, all of your rational ideas about calorie intake will rapidly fly out of the window in honor of Thanksgiving, and chances are, so workout routine, health rules, and alcohol consumption limits. The day of gluttony that kicks off the holiday season certainly won’t be the last between now and 2011: You’ll encounter table after table full of roasted meats and fatty gravies, carb-heavy sides served with a generous wallop of butter, and irresistible bacon-wrapped hors d’oeuvres. There won’t be any shortage of booze (or hung-over mornings spent appeasing your throbbing head with eggs and sausage), either. So is it time to dig out your fat pants and find a “flowy” dress to flatter your holiday cheer, or time to make some pre-New Year’s Resolutions?

The Grateful Guest: 10 Eco-Friendly Hostess Gifts for Thanksgiving


If you’re not the one hosting Thanksgiving this year: Thank God. Be grateful that you get to enjoy a leisurely day compared to your host, and show your thanks by bringing a gift they’ll remember. But when you’re shopping for the perfect present, try to find something eco-friendly that your host will truly enjoy; ill-suited gifts and trinkets aren’t nearly as fun to give or receive, and they’ll most likely just end up in the trash. … More »
