		<description><![CDATA[In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective marketing message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value lies only in her youth, beauty and sexuality - and not in her capacity as a leader. Miss Representation is a powerful call-to-action campaign that seeks to empower women and girls to challenge those limiting labels in order to realize their potential. <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/26/miss-representation-women-in-the-media/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&amp;blog=9332576&amp;post=8438&amp;subd=carolynthomas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you use the dreaded C-word, the reaction of patients is to want to rid their body of a deadly passenger.  They want to cut it out – whether it’s in a breast, a prostate or a thyroid. But cutting, burning and poisoning (or surgery, radiation and chemotherapy as they are usually called) are not always the best response to weird-looking cells.  Is it time to stop referring to these cells as "cancer"? <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/14/stop-calling-it-prostate-cancer/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&amp;blog=9332576&amp;post=8009&amp;subd=carolynthomas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

One mother gushed about another's obento creations that were elaborately shaped like exquisite animal characters:  "I was so impressed by her creativity and ingenuity. All the ingredients she uses are edible. The main reason I am so impressed is that each of this mother's beautiful creations are loaded with so much love for her daughter!"  Find out more about what a Japanese kid's lunchbox apparently says about the mother.  <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/10/japanese-mothers-obento/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&amp;blog=9332576&amp;post=8176&amp;subd=carolynthomas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Veteran reporter Lewis DVorkin says that when he switched from traditional print journalism (Forbes, New York Times, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal) over to online writing for Forbes.com ten years ago, "...my traditional media colleagues ribbed me for abandoning 'real' reporting in favor of the fast and the short. No one reads in-depth stories online, they said."  But surprising data from Forbes.com now suggest that online news consumers want both short and long articles - particularly when it comes to our health care news. <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/06/longer-blog-articles/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&amp;blog=9332576&amp;post=8092&amp;subd=carolynthomas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This ProPublica investigation reveals that when Big Pharma funds a non-profit patient advocacy group - like the American Pain Foundation -  this third-party illusion lends credibility to its drug marketing message while disguising its hidden origins as a paid mouthpiece of commerce, not science. So even while prescription drug overdose death rates soar, this industry-funded group continues to play down the risks associated with painkillers and to exaggerate their benefits.  <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/02/painkiller-overdose-deaths/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&amp;blog=9332576&amp;post=8070&amp;subd=carolynthomas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
