if that helps you any at all. Personally I found it more useful to buy the calculator.
At Fooducate, a piece on an experiment at Johns Hopkins. Hand-lettered signs were placed in convenience markets, next to the soft-drink coolers, and teenagers' buying habits were recorded. The sign warning that it would take 50 minutes of jogging to burn off the calories in one bottle of soda reduced purchase of sugary sodas by nearly 50%.
From Summer Tomato's links: A study has found that you eat less if the color of your food contrasts with the color of your plate: apparently the contrast makes the serving look larger. Some breakfast cereals have more sugar per serving than a Hostess Twinkie (Darya lists this one as “duh of the week”). And people who exercise actually crave less chocolate than people who sit!
Friday, the 23rd, is National Pfeffernüsse Day; the day after is National Eggnog Day. National Candy Cane Day is not until the 26th. The day after is National Fruit Cake Day, so there may still be time to get your Collin Street order in. And on December 23rd, 1675, King Charles II of England issued a proclamation suppressing coffee houses, on the grounds that “idle and disaffected persons” as well as “many tradesmen and others, do herein misspend much of their time, which might and probably would be employed in and about their Lawful Calling and Affairs”, and that in such places “divers, false, malitious, and scandalous reports are devised and spread abroad to the Defamation of His Majesty's Government, and to the disturbance of the Peace and Quiet of the Realm”. Apparently Restoration England could not get along without coffee: the order was revoked sixteen days later.
