Eating Healthy is Affordable with Wholeshare

photo eating-healthy-is-affordable-with-wholeshare.jpgEating healthy on a budget seems to be much more difficult than it should be.  While some whole foods stores and markets have the healthy items we want, they can be a great deal more expensive than the lower quality foods found at any supermarket.  Conversely, the typical supermarket has lower prices, but it does not have much of a selection of the healthier kinds of foods many people want.   Wholeshare is a solution to this dilemma, serving as what its creators call an online marketplace for local and sustainable food.  It helps those who find that reaching the balance between quality and price is a challenge to achieve, offering higher quality foods cheaply.  Wholeshare makes it possible to bring food that is both healthy and affordable to individuals and their local communities.

Buy American Online with Apple Pie

Cont3nt is an Open Market for News

SmartQuit is an App that Helps Smokers Quit

photo smartquit-is-an-app-that-helps-smokers-quit.pngStatistics state that approximately twenty percent of Americans smoke, and the most effective smoking-cessation programs only work for ten to fifteen percent of those who try them.  Even rising tobacco taxes, the fact that movies and television no longer glorify smoking, and numerous awareness campaigns teaching people about the dangers of smoking, the numbers remain relatively unchanged.  SmartQuit is an app designed to more effectively aid people who want to quit smoking.  It takes an idea many believe is far-fetched and even naïve but has shown promising results.  Rather than using nicotine or other chemicals or resorting to such things as acupuncture or hypnosis, the app uses behavioral change to lasting effect.
