THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK CHRISTMAS MUSICAL
Stray Dog Theatre at Tower Grove Abbey It’s 12 days before Christmas, and the folks at Armadillo Acres are determined to win the Mobile Homes & Gardens Most Festive Trailer Park Award. The only thing in their way is the dour, Christmas-hating Darlene Seward, the local Scrooge who is stricken by a freak bout of amnesia, putting neighborly love to the test. With music and lyrics by David Nehls and book by Betsy Kelso, “The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical” is a followup to their first trailer park musical, appropriately titled “The Great American Trailer Park Musical”. It’s crass, but in a good way. David Nehls’ music and lyrics range from balladic to bluesy, with clever references, and some bad rhyming that works, given the overall tone. As visions of sugarplums dance in her head, Darlene finds herself spending time with Rufus, the redneck in the next trailer over while Jackson finds himself confused by everything that’s going on. With three ghosts, a magic Christmas tree, a drunken drugstore Santa, and a lot of holiday tunes, longtime Armidillo Acres residents Betty, Lin and Pickles help Darlene sort out her life, her relationships, and her feelings about Christmas. It’s the same trailer park with just as much cat-fightin’, sun-worshippin’, chair-throwin’ as the first, but with tinsel and Keg Nog for everyone. “The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical” runs through Saturday, December 20 at the Stray Dog Theatre in the Tower Grove Abbey located near Tower Grove Park and the world-famous Botanical Gardens. The Abbey is located at 2336 Tennessee Avenue. For complete information and to purchase tickets please visit straydogtheatre.org

5 FOOD MYTHS
A St. Louis family owned old fashioned meat market that makes over thirty varieties of sausage on site. Retail shop open Tuesday through Saturday.
Myth #1: Raw Foods Are Always More Nutritious than Cooked Ones
Fact: While followers of raw-food diets claim that eating uncooked food preserves all of the nutrients, research shows that this idea is half-baked. It’s true that heat destroys certain water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, but cooking boosts levels of other nutrients. For example, ketchup and tomato sauce contain up to six times more lycopene than raw tomatoes. Several studies show that this powerful antioxidant reduces risk for prostate and colon cancer, as well as heart disease. And since lycopene is fat-soluble, you need to eat cooked tomatoes with some fat (such as olive oil) to help absorption.
Myth #2. Skipping a Meal Slows Your Metabolism
Fact: Missing a single meal does not put your body into “starvation mode,” but may cause you to eat more at the next meal, because you’re hungrier. Research shows that it actually takes about two to three weeks of consistently low-calorie intake or at least 24 hours of eating absolutely nothing before there’s any significant change in your metabolic rate.

Thank You St. Louis!
One study found after one to three days of total starvation, there’s a temporary rise in basal metabolic rate, while prolonged starvation lowers it, with the sharpest drop in obese people (explaining why it’s often difficult for very overweight people to slim down even on a very low-calorie diet).
Myth #3: High-fructose Corn Syrup is Worse than Sugar
Fact: The idea of that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is particularly harmful is “one of those urban myths that sounds right, but is basically wrong,” says the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group. In reality, both table sugar and HFCS are almost identical, nutritionally, with similar effects on the body’s levels of insulin, blood glucose, triglycerides, and hunger hormones. The real problem isn’t the type of sweetener we eat, but the fact that Americans are consuming way too many empty calories, a key culprit in the obesity epidemic. The American Heart Association recommends a maximum of six spoonfuls of sugar for women, and nine for men, without singling out any specific type, such as HFCS, as the sole dietary villain. Any food ingredient ending in “ose” is usually a form of sugar.
Myth #4: Fruit Juice is Healthy
Fact: While an apple a day may keep the doctor away, that’s not true of apple juice or other fruit beverages. While many people consider fruit juice a healthier option than soda, data from the Harvard Nurses' Study found that women who drink one or more glasses of fruit juice a day are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Conversely, the researchers found that women who eat three servings of fruit or vegetables a day had significant lower risk of diabetes than did those who ate fewer servings. Not only does eating fruit and vegetables provide healthy fiber and vitamins, but they’re filling, reducing the risk of weight gain (which in turn, raises diabetes risk.)

Myth #5: You Need a High-Protein Diet to Build Muscle Mass

Fact: To bulk up, you need weight training plus extra calories. However, there’s no need to gulp down high-protein shakes and meat galore—a myth that’s been circulating since the 6th century BC, with an ancient Greek strongman claiming that the secret of his athletic prowess was eating 20 pounds of beef a day. While protein is a crucial nutrient for building, maintaining and repairing body tissues, a very high-protein diet boosts the threat of heart disease, impaired kidney function, bone fractures, and some cancers, including those of the colon and breast, according to Physicians for Responsible Medicine. In the typical Western diet, most people eat at least double the amount of protein needed for good health. The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises people who are training for resistance sports, including weight lifting, to limit themselves to no more than 0.55 to 0.77 grams of protein per pound of body weight, as part of a healthy diet that also includes healthy carbs for energy and about 20 to 35 percent fat.

Holiday
Facts
In the Middle Ages, Christmas celebrations were rowdy and raucous, a lot like today's Mardi Gras parties. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was outlawed in Boston, and law-breakers were fined five shillings. Christmas wasn't a holiday in early America—in fact Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the country's first Christmas under the new constitution. Construction workers started the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree tradition in 1931. The Salvation Army has been sending Santa Claus-clad donation collectors into the streets since the 1890s.
Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the United States on June 26, 1870. 8
