Tattoos indicated toughness and fearlessness when faced with danger. Tattoos were also designed as a method of identification, much like soldiers today wear 'dog tags'.]]></description>

So if it's a food, how can it take calories away? Let's look at black coffee. In drinking a cup it takes energy which is delivered to the muscles involved. This energy is measured in calories and these calories are stored in body fat. How many calories do we get from black coffee? A cup of coffee consists of water which has no calories, and particles of coffee which is high in caffeine but little else.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our day in age it is not easy to lose weight. With all the foods that are available to us it is nearly impossible. So many people try, with the best of intentions and most fail. In fact it could be said that most people fail at it more than once- they are continuously going on a diet and failing at it. So why can't a person lose weight in this day in age? Well, one reason is that a hundred years ago people were very active - they spent a large part of the day doing work. It was more of a 'survival mode' than today. Women washed clothes by hand. Men cut trees down with an axe.  Power equipment was not available to the average person and days were long and hard.   ]]></description>
