Everyone's been writing about the new state-by-state*health rankings*released yesterday by the United Health Foundation. The best 5-word summary of the*2012*American Health Rankings*might be "Americans are living longer, sicker." It seems Gen X, Gen Y and the next few generations will be the...
Telling Me How Unhealthy & Fattening Your Food Is While I Eat It Is Kind Of A Killjoy
I recently moved back to New York City, and as I was walking around waiting to meet some friends I came across*Rice to Riches, where I'd been once a while back and remembered liking. The place is like an ice...
It's not often that a snack food so takes hold of the junior high crowd's collective conscious like Flamin' Hot Cheetos have. Not only are the radioactively-colored, preservative-and-salt-filled curls are a staple on my bus route and in school yards, they've inspired Facebook fan groups, and...

If you've noticed the perpetually-shirtless Matthew McConaughey looking startlingly gaunt these days, that's the point. The celeb told Larry King that he's in the middle of a 30 pound weight loss for an upcoming role, where he plays a person with HIV. And while he's calling it a "cleanse"...
Taco Bell is on a roll with adding more unhealthy items to its menu. Earlier this year it was the Doritos Locos Tacos (which many of you thought sounded pretty good...is it?). Now, the fast-food chain has added another unhealthy item--the MTN Dew A.M. that, well, actually sounds kinda good...
Before having kids, I had very idealist visions of what our lives would be like. Our family would be the perfectly healthy family. What we ate would be carefully scrutinized. Fresh fruits, tons of veggies, lean meats and whole grains would be on the table at every meal. What we did during our...
It's hard to feel sorry for anyone who eats this--the double bypass burger, while also drinking alcohol and smoking, and then collapses and nearly dies. That's exactly what happened to a woman at the aptly-named Heart Attack Grill which prides itself on serving grossly unhealthy food to well...
Lady Gaga is once again at the center of controversy--and this time it's not because of a meat dress or other outrageous attire. This time, the pop star is racking up the attention over a recent tweet where she not only spread a dangerously unhealthy message, but she also stereotyped female...
There is an episode of 30 Rock wherein Liz Lemon, who notoriously likes crap food,*describes (sings about, actually) a Cheesy Blaster, which is when you "take a hot dog, stuff it with some jack cheese, [and] fold it in a pizza." It is meant to be a ridiculously unhealthy, outrageous meal item...
So I've been on the site damnyouautocorrect.com reading text messages gone wrong by auto correct. I have been laughing hard all day to the point where I'm literally coughing up phlegm and getting pain in my ribs. Is this a bad sign? Should I stop reading it for a while? Although I have to admit...
It's funny how the more most restaurants and food-makers try to cut back on unhealthy ingredients or items, a few contrarian companies insist on rolling out fast-food grosser and more fattening than ever before. The latest restaurant to say f**k you to the zeitgeist is Taco Bell, which next...
I wanted to hate Trader Joe's Cookie butter—it's basically just a paste made of cookies and oil, which sounds pretty gross, if you ask me—but the truth is it's delicious. The butter, which I discussed earlier this week, is made of crushed biscuits and oil (no almonds, unlike the homemade version...
I researched it, but all I found were advertisements (which didn't say much)
There are:
"Smokers Option"----cinnamon and/or menthol cigarettes
and "Bravo Smokes"----lettuce cigarettes
and "Yixing"-----herbal cigarettes (various flavor)
Of the three, "Bravo Smokes" are the only ones that...

This girl and i are crazy about each other, but we've screwed each others heads up. We've been talking for 8 months, but ever since school started shes changed. I found out she made out with two dudes and invited one of my best guy friends over to her house, and he fingered her. So i ended...
I don't know how old my Leo is, but I do know that she's still a juvenile. Before she shed she wasn't eating and her poop has turned white and doesn't look like it normally does: http://i51.tinypic.com/1057dy8.jpg
I give her fresh water every day and she eats every 2-3 days and she'll eat...
The south and southwest sides of Chicago suffer the most in terms of residents' health and access to basic health resources, according to a new study of 77 Chicago neighborhoods. The study from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in collaboration with the Chicago Department of...
Sure they're fun and kids love them, but could cartoon characters used in marketing contribute to the obesity epidemic as well as create nagging children? Today, some parents find themselves having a battle in the cereal aisle. Recognizable characters and logos prompt children to make repeated...
