"Servanthood may not be today's normal model for business success, but that hasn't stopped the Heavins [Founders/owners of the extremely successful Curves women's fitness centers]. In 2003, the couple gave away $10 million—10 percent of their company's gross revenues and 80 percent of Gary's net income—to charities. Heavin matches the first $1,000 that each franchise raises for community causes such as walkathons to benefit pro-life pregnancy-care centers. Such controversial stances have led to criticism, but Heavin is unfazed. "There's nothing healthy about abortion," he says. "I'm not afraid to tell the truth."

Beckie Hunter (who gave me the head's up on this) was right. They're pulling a Domino's Pizza on us. You Bastards, you.
Going to Curves has been the most consistent exercise program I've ever had, the easiest to stick to - despite the lack of over-all weight loss, I still made progress - and I'll need exercise more than ever now that I'm essentially officially diagnosed as depressed.
And you fuckers had to go and set up this Ethical Dilemna for me.
