Chicagoan Patrick Nardi couldn’t figure out a good place to put his race number on his bike. So he invented one.
I talked to a former highly competitive runner the other day, who lamented the fact that he wasn’t fast anymore. He’s in his 50s.
Bison meat is exceptionally low in fat and high in iron, and is noted as one of the most heart healthy of proteins. Just check out the chart below, which shows bison to be lower in cholesterol than other meats as well as salmon.
On the conscientious side of eating meat, because of standards set by the National Bison Association (NBA), bison bred and raised in the U.S. are handled as little as possible. This means bison spend their lives on grass, much as they always have, with very little time in the feedlot, and are not subjected to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones.
