Yesterday, a celebrity roast was held for Betty White by the Friars Club in New York City. Many Hollywood stars gathered to celebrate our favorite 90-year-old actress.

Take a look at some of our favorite Betty White quotes of all time about living...

A new study says a 20% ‘ fat tax ‘ —on ‘unhealthy foods’ and sugary drinks—would help curb obesity by substituting for the lack of self control that has clearly led to obesity (wink wink). Published in British Medical Journal , the study aggregated data from several countries measuring the effectiveness of food taxes, and found that they can have a positive impact on public health…if they’re significant enough to really make our wallets hurt....
Which would you rather have: good sleep or good sex? This is the dilemma that many couples are facing when it comes time to buy a new mattress. It seems that sales of those super-plush mattresses are on the rise, and with good reason–we sleep better on them. But, according to a recent Barron’s report , they also have a serious downside–bad sex. New York sex therapist Sari Eckler explained it best to Barron’s: There’s a lack of resistance for the knees...
I recently attended a local Weight Watchers meeting to speak about an upcoming charity walk/bike ride. Much to my surprise, when I walked in, the receptionist at the front table asked if I “needed to be weighed.” No, I don’t “need” to be weighed, I told her. No one “needs” to be weighed.
