Chicken Soup

A move away from the content of the last few Blogs on to a more light hearted, nay flippant, look at Chicken Soup.  There are umpteen books under the auspices of Chicken Soup for the Soul of which I have but one - Chicken Soup for the Soul in Business.  For other versions please see http://www.chickensoup.com/   

The underlying concept of these best sellers is that there are some great stories that give comfort that things will be all right in the end. Each book is a collection of stories that overcomes adversity or tragedy and gives one a feeling of contentment.  Just as chicken soup does in real life!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_soup   

And if you are still not sure have a listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOpJdP7NEJ0  

Of course, you may be just a little sceptical about the powers of Chicken Soup and perhaps justifiably; if it is lace with too much sugar.  The overwhelming chicken soup sentiment can turn if it is not careful into what is now known as Glurge.  http://www.snopes.com/glurge/glurge.asp 

My preference is for Heinz Tomato Soup.  I vote that you can do no better and I strongly recommend it to all men!  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/07/28/scisoup128.xml    If you enjoy reading my Blogs, then click on comments then RSS and you will receive and update as an when I post a new Blog.
