It seems that Aaron Ferguson, who served as an accountant for the Rachael Ray TV show, says in his filing in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, that he’s suffered with anorexia for about six years. In the filing, Ferguson says he was fired for complaining about comments made by a supervisor, and because he was fired, as well as the harassment, he’s suing for a cool $1 million.

Ferguson says his supervisor repeatedly exhibited “hostile behavior” and made “vile,” discriminatory, and hurtful comments regarding his anorexia, including saying things such as, “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work,” according to his filing.

There’s a story out of Canada that has me cringing — not for myself, but for the women of the world whom I admire: those with big breasts. The scary thing though, is that women who wear a D cup were three times more likely than women who wear a B or C cup, of actually developing diabetes in later life.

A report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal says a Canadian study shows younger women with big breasts run a 68 percent greater chance of acquiring diabetes by middle age than their smaller-breasted peers.

Nike, it seems is doing something sort of unique: it’s doing target marketing to a specific segment of society.

Before you jump up and down, wanting to hit that comment button and tell me how stupid I am, telling me many companies already do that, listen to me. Okay?
