Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 8 June
Query:
Hip replacements have been on the rise for the past few years,
and obesity is not the only culprit. Apparently the over-active
mistreat their joints as well, and hip replacements are starting
to find their homes in the bodies of the young as well as the
old. I'm writing an article about people's careless attitudes
towards their bodies, and the incorrect belief that joint
replacements will last forever. Any help from orthopedic
surgeons, doctors, or those who have had joint replacements would
be much appreciated!

I am a researcher for Al Roker Productions in New York City and

whose lives are dominated by how much food they have in their
house and/or excessive shopping for food. I am trying to learn
about this compulsion and find people who are suffering but are
too overwhelmed to get help and/or start to purge the unnecessary
items. Among my questions, for these individuals, does keeping
the fridge and freezer full take up a large part of their time?
Do they have more food than they or their family can possibly
eat, but still keep buying? Do they find deals on groceries
irresistible even if there's no need to buy more? Some people
call themselves "food hoarders", others are just highly organized
and like to take advantage of a "deal", or maybe some are
concerned about the future and want to ensure they have food
security. Whatever the reasons, I am looking for people who have
this kind of a relationship with food and help the try and
address the issue. I am not sure if you can be of any
assistance, but if you have any suggestions on how I can find
these people, I would be extremely appreciative. I can be
reached at carly@alroker.com or 646-723-9846. Thank you for

importance of passing on the foods of their culture to their
children after becoming pregnant.
