13 Actresses Known for Roles Opposite to Who They Are in Real Life(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

It’s an actresses job to act (duh). It can’t be all too surprising some actresses don’t necessarily identify with their characters. Many of the most popular cinematic villains and heroines are played by actresses who say they don’t have the time or the energy to be that bad or good in real life. It stands there are so many actresses who are different than their characters.

Game of Thrones‘s Lena Headey is one of those actresses who are nothing like their characters. She’s a self-described “clumsy nerd” who has never wine-boarded anyone, nor slept with a relative. Gilmore Girls‘s Alexis Bledel is another of these actresses known for roles that are nothing like they are. She’s even mentioned her belief that Rory Gilmore is too perfect. Maybe that’s the reason she nearly showed some nip on Mad Men?

Of the many Hollywood actresses who are different than their characters, which do you think are the most dissimilar? Cast your votes below!

Alexis Bledel

In real life: Alexis Bledel is a normal person who isn’t perfect. She also hates coffee. And she has a child with Vincent Kartheiser, formerly Pete on Mad Men. Sure, she dated Milo Ventimiglia (Jess from Gilmore Girls), but it was probably way more steamy in real life, right?

In film and TV roles: Bledel met her husband when she played his mistress, revealing there’s more to the actress than Rory Gilmore. To many, those are fightin’ words, but even Bledel has said Rory was too good to be true, and she was “annoyed” by the character’s perfection. The actress has returned for the Gilmore Girls revival A Year in the Life on Netflix, and this time around Rory’s got more cracks in her facade.

Notable quote: “I just want to live each moment, but it’s kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it’s also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don’t ordinarily think about. I think it’s strange.”

Don’t Forget About the 2017 Dirty Dozen List: Most Pesticide-Tainted Produce(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

Every year the Environmental Working Group (EWG) puts out a list of the 12 types of produce that contain the most pesticides. The group analyzes tests by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the list. The list was released in the beginning of the year, but it’s important to browse the list multiple times so the information is at your fingertips. [1]

This year, the EWG found that close to 70% of samples of 48 types of conventional produce contained residues of 1 or more pesticides. In all, USDA researchers found 178 different pesticides and pesticide breakdown products in the samples of produce, which numbered in the thousands. These chemicals remained on the produce even after they were washed and, in some cases, peeled.

 

In a news release, Sonya Lunder, an EWG senior analyst, says:

“If you don’t want to feed your family food contaminated with pesticides, the EWG Shopper’s Guide helps you make smart choices, whether you’re buying conventional or organic produce.

Eating of fruits and vegetables is essential no matter how they’re grown, but for the items with the heaviest pesticide loads, we urge shoppers to buy organic. If you can’t buy organic, the Shopper’s Guide will steer you to conventionally grown produce that is the lowest in pesticides.” [1]

Choosing produce with the least amount of pesticides is vital to the health of children, Lunder says.

“Even low levels of pesticide exposure can be harmful to infants, babies and young children, so when possible, parents and caregivers should take steps to lower children’s exposures to pesticides while still feeding them diets rich in healthy fruits and vegetables.” [1]

The “Dirty Dozen” List

Strawberries are at the top of the list because the USDA found that the most contaminated sample of the fruit had 20 different pesticides. [1]

 

New to the list this year is pears and potatoes, displacing cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from last year’s list.

 

At least one pesticide residue was found on nearly all of the strawberries, spinach, peaches, nectarines, cherries, and apples.

On average, the spinach samples contained twice as much pesticide residue by weight than any other crop. In fact, EWG says 3/4 of spinach samples were contaminated with residues of a neurotoxic pesticide banned in Europe for use on food crops. It is part of a group of pesticides that have been linked to behavioral disorders in young children in recent studies.

 

You can find the full list of 51 types of produce on EWG’s website.

The “Clean 15”

Not every fruit and vegetable is coated in chemicals, fortunately, and the EWG also made a list of the types of produce that are least likely to contain pesticide residues.

Hillary Rodham Just Came Forward With A Terrifying Announcement… It’s Happening(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

Just a few months after her loss to President Donald Trump, experts are already predicting that she will run for president for a third time in 2020.

For the past few months, Clinton has taken very little accountability for her loss. Instead, she’s been blaming everyone and everything around her—a clear indication that she has another presidential run in the works, Michael Goodwin of the New York Post notes.

“After weeks of inching her way back, she gave an interview last week at a Women for Women event,” Goodwin wrote. “Here explanation for why she lost shows that the new Hillary is the same as the old Hillary. Full of finger-pointing and excuses, she was, as usual, devoid of any concession about her own shortcomings. She has shifted the entire email scandal, which she created by deciding to use a private server and lying about it to the public, to the shoulders of Russian hackers and FBI Director Jim Comey. To hear her tell it, she was an innocent victim of their skullduggery.”

“If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president,” Hillary said, arguing that Comey’s letter on October 28 “raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off.”

What do you think? Will Hillary run for the presidency once again?

BREAKING: Donald Trump Just Did It… Say Goodbye Comey, It’s Over(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

Yesterday, President Donald Trump fired James Comey, director of the F.B.I. Trump abruptly terminated the law enforcement official who was leading a wide-ranging criminal investigation into whether his advisers colluded with the Russian government to impact the 2016 presidential election.

The move was bold and very controversial. Liberals immediately argued that this was political interference by “a sitting president into an existing investigation by the nation’s leading law enforcement agency.” Democrats are now calling for an independent prosecutor to take over the investigation.

Trump justified the firing by reminding the public about Comey’s irresponsible handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Trump said in his letter to Comey, which was released to reporters by the White House.

The White House notes that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein encouraged Trump’s decision.

Liberal extremist Senator Chuck Schumer called the decision a “big mistake” and a “rash decision” that could make Americans suspect a cover-up.

Comey learned from news reports that he had been fired while addressing bureau employees in Los Angeles. When television screens in the background began flashing the news, he thought it was a prank. Just last week, Comey appeared on Capitol Hill saying he had “no regrets” about the decisions he made, but that he felt “mildly nauseous” that his actions had tipped the election in Trump’s favor.

“It is essential that we find new leadership for the F.B.I. that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission,” Trump wrote in a statement about his decision.

Earlier this week, Trump said Comey was “the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton” and accused her of giving “a free pass for many bad deeds.”

What do you think of Trump’s decision? Was he entirely justified?

5 Easy, Delish And Healthy Superfood Recipes For Healing(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

I’d been a food writer for more than five years, exploring the world by way of the plate, before I started feeling sick. It started with embarrassing conditions, like chronic constipation and sudden, but intense, waves of nausea. I had a colonoscopy at 27, trying in vain to get to the root of my digestive issues. A slew of serious and expensive prescription medications followed, each with its own roll call of scary side effects. And still, years later, nothing worked.

So I decided to go cold turkey on all medications, including going off birth control pills for the first time in more than a decade. What followed was even worse—horrible acne, rapid and unexplained weight gain around my midsection, irregular periods with painful PMS symptoms, and those same digestive issues. At the end of my rope, tired of being dismissed by conventional doctors who just threw medication at my symptoms, I turned to a holistic and integrative medicine MD who actually wanted to get to the root cause. Dr. Taz really listened to me—she used blood work and other test results, coupled with my anecdotal symptoms, to diagnose me with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), leaky gut and hypothyroidism.

This is where my story takes a turn for happily ever after. As it happens, all of these conditions are reversible through diet, natural supplements and holistic lifestyle changes. After following an all-natural plan, I now live a near symptom-free life. It’s true what they say—food is medicine.

I have been blown away by the huge impact the simple changes I’ve made have had on my health. By getting rid of toxins and other harmful ingredients in my food, beauty supplies and household products, I’ve finally healed my body. And I’ve done so safely and naturally. A natural lifestyle focused on real, whole foods that are anti-inflammatory and full of nutrients works—I am living proof!

Murder Of DNC Staffer Seth Rich Is Finally Cracked… Look Whose Getting Arrested(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

WikiLeaks shocked the nation when they revealed that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was their source for the DNC emails that were leaked during the presidential campaign. In July of last year, Rich was shot and killed as he walked home in Washington D.C. He was on the phone with his girlfriend at the time.

Ever since the tragic incident took place, police have been attempting to determine a motive. Many speculated that Rich was WikiLeaks’ anonymous DNC source. Now, it appears those rumors were true.

The information was confirmed in a string of texts between “Russian spy” Gufficer 2.0 and actress-model Robbin Young, who wrote on Twitter that she had supplied the information to the police, but “no one cared.”

“I’m eager to find facts about Seth, I’m sure it wasn’t just a robbery,” Guccifer told her. “Seth was assassinated.”

When Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, was asked about Rich in an interview, his response was absolutely frightening.

“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks,” Assange said. “As a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.”

“That was just a robbery, I believe,” the interviewer interrupted. “Wasn’t it?”

“No. There’s no finding,” Assange replied instantly. “So…I’m suggesting that our sources take risks.”
What do you think of this?
