Shonelle commented on Bram's blog post 'Insights into the Canadian Healthcare System'"I always find it really interesting to see how other health care systems work! I'm from New Zealand where our insulin and test strips are fully subsidised (just have to pay presciption cost) so find it interesting to compare!"

acidrock23 replied to Shonelle's discussion 'Heading to the States for 5 Weeks in April/May!'"There's interesting stuff all over the place.

Zoe replied to Shonelle's discussion 'Heading to the States for 5 Weeks in April/May!'"Oh that's different! Advice still goes for limiting destinations, but without driving cross country you have a lot more options between Chicago and the east coast (which is 1,000 miles but doable with that amount of time)"

14 Days Healthy Eating Bonanza!

I go into a lot more depth about it in my blog post here but I would love recipe ideas and general advice/motivation from everyone here :)
