New Quaker Soft Baked Bars are delicious in the morning instead of all those fattening cereals that are on there on the market.  Dieters loved them because they stay under their calorie count for the day and children love them because they are simply delicious to eat.

New Quaker Soft Baked Bars have five grams of fiber, twenty DV of five different Vitamins B, and six grams of protein.    They have two types of different taste for their customers to try and they are banana nut bread and cinnamon roll.

On their website at www.quakeroats.com, they have several pages with different tips that can be helped just by adding Quaker Oats to your daily diet.  One tip that I picked up was that adding Quaker Oats to your daily diet will help the body to keep the arteries that leads to the heart clean.  What a delicious way to keep the arteries of your heart clean and personally, I can’t think of one that taste that delicious.

This website is the place to find recipes for kids to help in the kitchen and this website even has a section called “Welcome to Baking 101”.

They have tips on heart health, fitness, nutrition; prevent strokes, hypertension, stress, cholesterol, and healthy eating.  There are more articles that I didn’t even mention, so do yourself a favor and go check out www.quakeroats.com.   Delicious and yummy in the tummy comes to my mind when I taste those New Quaker Soft Baked Bars.  I want a banana nut bread bar!

Wild Squirrel Nut Butter

Mission
Wild Squirrel works to bring you unique, tasty, and natural peanut butters without a laundry list of ingredients, and never any preservatives or additives!
Description
One day, at their apartment in Eugene, Oregon, University sophomores Keeley and Erika were scraping the bottom of yet another jar of peanut butter. With no more peanut butter and a surplus of celery, they were faced with a familiar conundrum.

Luckily, they had a bag of raw peanuts, a brand new food processor, and two squirrelly little minds. It didn’t take long before they had created a delicious batch of homemade peanut butter.

However, their creativity now sparked, Keeley and Erika were no longer content with the plain peanut butter they had created. So they set to adding every conceivable ingredient they had on their shelves. They sprinkled in cinnamon, raisins, chocolate chips, coffee, coconut… the list goes on. They tried them all.

After extensive sampling, Erika and Keeley decided their product was simply too good to keep to themselves, and they set to educating the world about all that peanut butter is capable of! On this fateful day, the first batches of Wild Squirrel Peanut Butter were born.

- In The Huffington Post (April 24):  Does the Invisible Hand Really Know Best

Michael Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University. Sandel’s legendary ‘Justice’ course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard. In 2007, Harvard made Sandel’s course available to alumni around the world through webstreaming and podcasting. Over 5,000 participants signed up, and Harvard Clubs from Mexico to Australia organized local discussion groups in connection with the course. In May 2007, Sandel delivered a series of lectures at major universities in China and he has been a visiting professor at the Sorbonne, Paris. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Council on Foreign Relations. Sandel is the author of many books and has previously written for the Atlantic Monthly, the New Republic and the New York Times. He was the 2009 BBC Reith Lecturer.  His most recent book is the New York Times bestseller Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do?

Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we put a price on human life to decide how much pollution to allow? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs?  What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, outsourcing inmates to for- profit prisons, auctioning admission to elite universities, or selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?

In What Money Can’t Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes up one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Isn’t there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don’t belong? What are the moral limits of markets?

In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life—medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues that we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society.

In Justice, an international bestseller, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our every- day lives. Now, in What Money Can’t Buy, he provokes a debate that’s been missing in our market-driven age: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society, and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets do not honor and money cannot buy?

Patt Morrison is a longtime reporter and columnist for the Los Angeles Times, where she has won numerous awards, including a share of two Pulitzer Prizes. In addition to the Times, Morrison is host of the Patt Morrison Show on KPCC.  She is a regular commentator on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition and has published a best-selling book on the Los Angeles River. She is frequently interviewed about Southern California on the BBC and other television and radio programs, and was a founding host of Life & Times on KCET-TV, for which she won six Emmys and six Golden Mike awards.
