During my search for more RSS feeds, I ran across one that really caught my attention. A news feed in the New York Times was titled, “60-Plus, Ripped, and Natural Competitors.” Disgusted by the thought of “ripped” elderly men and women made me a little curious on whet exactly this news feed was about. Apparently, The World Natural Sports Organization puts on a body building competition for the “chizzled” men and women over sixty years of age.
