Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Over Happy Meal Toys
Remember this? Back in 2010, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) sued McDonald’s over its practice of giving out “Happy Meal” toys. I was (somewhat) sympathetic, but doubted the CSPI would win. Lo and behold… Good news for California kids who like to play with their food. A class-action lawsuit seeking to ban toys in Happy Meals in most parts of California was thrown out on Thursday. The...
Poultry Inspectors Protest USDA “Modernization”
And I share their concerns… According to Food Safety News: Around 100 poultry inspectors gathered outside the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday, right under Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s window, to protest a proposal to expand an inspection system that shifts federal inspectors away from inspecting for quality defects and allows slaughter lines to speed up. …Under the proposed rule, the agency would...
What Dr. Freedhoff Sez…
…About this new ad from the vegan group, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM): Dr. Freedhoff is NOT amused… The message I get from it is along the lines of obese people are oafish, clumsy, thoughtless, boobs, and that “fat” is “sickening“.

We signed up at our new gym as soon as we had the upstairs (principal living areas) set up, but had to wait a few more days to start working out. The “mild” thniffoos I developed during the week hardened...
Think of Bug Parts as “All Natural” Ingredients
Years ago, I read a pithy quote attributed to the great 20th century geneticist J.B.S. Haldane: As the story goes, Haldane was in the company of a group of theologians, one of whom asked what his (Haldane’s) study of creation had taught him about the Creator. Haldane’s response: the Creator had “an inordinate fondness for beetles.” LOL. It may be apocryphal, but so what? It illustrates a point about the world...
Israel Outlaws Too-Skinny Models
CNN has the story: Wow – those runway models look anything BUT glamourous to these eyes. They may be wearing elegant designer outfits, but there’s no hiding the bony chests and hollow eyes. Although BMI isn’t an ideal measure, the Israeli law still seems like a good one, to me! (Thanks to Kyle for the video...
