Jenny Rosenstrach, a 39-year-old former Real Simple editor (of course), has written down everything she's eaten for dinner in the past twelve years. Even on 9/11! Why? No reason, really. Just mania. Naturally, the New York Times loves her.

America's Cafeteria, McDonald's, is making obscene amounts of money selling its McCafé coffee simulacrum, and has plans to make even more obscene amounts on its new beverages. But first McDonald's must demystify this odd product, the "smoothie."

NYC supremacy! Teen girl craziness! Vermonster's revenge! Kiddie hypertension! Air bee science! Lying docs! Airline food! It's your somewhat scientific Health Watch, where we watch your health—upon a mountain of iced-cream!

The New York Times: brave enough to write a story about "China's Taste For Nuts," but too timid to laugh about it. Shame.
