McD’s & Pepsi to Help Write Health Policy in the UK
This is pretty unbelievable! According to the Guardian… The Department of Health is putting the fast food companies McDonald’s and KFC and processed food and drink manufacturers such as PepsiCo, Kellogg’s, Unilever, Mars and Diageo at the heart of writing government policy on obesity, alcohol and diet-related disease, the Guardian has learned. In an overhaul of public health, said by campaign groups to be the...
I Will Never Buy Another Supplement From USP Labs
Never… not even for review purposes. Why, pray tell? Because of this (click to enlarge): This is a piece of USP Labs’ write up for PowerFULL – an alleged growth hormone secretagogue. Paul asked me to pen a review for it, so naturally, I read the company spiel in detail.

The industry claimed it was an initiative that would “…help consumers make more nutritious food and beverage choices that fit within their daily calorie needs.” Not surprisingly, “Smart Choices” turned out to be a total farce. Well, the industry is making another...
SF Supervisors Place Restrictions on Toys in Fast Food Children’s Meals
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors just passed an ordinance that requires fast food meals marketed to young children to meet nutritional guidelines… or no toy. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors was at it again today, banning toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals that contain over 600 calories and more than 35% of calories from fat.
