Hi, my name is Leaky (I hate that nickname but you gave it to me). Im your kitchen faucet. I dont think you realize how important I am in your life. Stop and think for a moment how many times you touch me everyday. What about your children? Theyre up here pulling on my handle all the time with their grubby little hands, sometimes yanking too hard and causing me to loosen my screws a little bit more each time. I love your children, but they dont handle me with as much caution and some adults do.

Most of the time I go completely unnoticed. Sure, you use you all the time, but you dont really give me your undivided attention unless Im dripping and annoying you. Hey, I get runny noses just like everyone else in the family, give me some doctoring!

I remember when you first saw me. I was sitting on the store shelf next to my brothers and sisters, and you were commenting about how much we cost, what features we had, what color we were and if we would be a good fit for your kitchen. I was so excited when you stopped to read my tags because I knew I was the perfect kitchen faucet for you. Then you crushed my hopes a little with your comments about how expensive I was. Good grief! I cost about $125 but your children are running you close to $10,000 a year! I see you look at them lovingly, but I just get a passing glance.

You compared me with my brothers and sisters and after a lot of grumbling you figured out what I knew all along. I was the perfect faucet for you. I am royalty you know. Im related to all the best family lines; Moen, Kohler and Delta all have influenced my creation in some fashion.

I dont think the general public understands how important I really am. You go to the store expecting to pay about $20 for a faucet and then get angry when you see that quality costs money. Were no different than any other appliance or gadget in your kitchen; the best of us are higher priced. We also come with a lot of neat features such as multiple handles, hot and cold settings with a hundred variations in between, some of us are even gold plated! We protect your kids with anti scald devices and give you the one thing you cant live without: water. Why shouldnt we demand a fair price for our services?

Go on, enjoy your day, but would you please just once stop to notice my beauty and service to your family? Speaking for all ignored kitchen faucets we would all appreciate it. Thanks.

It appears that negative calorie food is helping obese and overweight people in their fight to overcome their weight problem. Recently Mike Baker, an employee of TV Channel FOX 2 reported that he lost 30.5 inches and 70 pounds by eating negative calorie foods. Similarly his wife Suzie lost 31 inches and 40 pounds! They are not alone.

The obvious question arises, what is a negative calorie food? After all calorie is a unit of energy, how it can be negative? The food itself cannot possess a "negative calorie", because all foods have some calories. However, some foods need more effort to get digested by our body, while there are some foods that are very easily ingested by the body.

Let us take an example. Suppose a food contains "a" number of calories and it needs "b" number of calories in the whole process of eating and digesting it. If "a" is more than "b", then the excess calorie in the food is stored by the body. There are several foods for which "a" is less than "b", that is the calorie in the food is less than the number of calories required to ingest the food. Such foods are know as "negative calorie foods".

Such foods are plant foods like fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. The main feature of these food items is that they themselves possess very few calories as compared to foods derived from animals which gives too many calories, mainly from fat. Each gram of fat gives you 9 calories. The body requires little efforts to digest fat so the calories from fat go straight to your body.

It is then obvious choice to include these negative calorie foods in to your daily eating plan. if you replace your high fat foods with these foods and you remain physically active, then no wonder you can transform your body into a fit body with ideal weight. The negative calorie diet is based on these foods.
