San Fran Lawmakers May Wipe the Smile Off Happy Meals
By Lisa Flam - AOL News
(Nov. 3) -- The McDonald's Happy Meal will get a little less happy if San Francisco lawmakers have their way. By a veto-proof 8-3 margin, the Board of Supervisors approved a proposal Tuesday night that would prohibit fast-food chains like McDonald's from giving away toys with kids' meals that exceed set levels of salt, fat and sugar. And meals with free toys or incentives must include fruit and veggies. Most Happy Meals, as they're served today, would be banned under the measure, the Los Angeles Times reported.

(Sept. 30) -- First came the breakfast sandwich. Then the breakfast burrito. And now, the breakfast pizza?

Still, I have to be honest.I don't think I will ever stop eating meat. It's not that I can't live without another burger, or that I can't fight the occasional cravings I get for a juicy rib-eye or a grilled flank steak. I'm pretty sure I could live happily without any of those things. ...
Debunking the Myth of 'Cheap' Fast Food
By Domenica Marchetti - Politics DailyLinda, the scene you describe from the movie "Food Inc.," in which a family of four is unable to afford fresh pears and instead is compelled to choke down fast-food "dollar meals" sounds heartbreaking. I have yet to see the movie because -- most frustratingly -- it is not playing anywhere in the D.C. area, where I live (though I did read both '"The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "Fast Food Nation," on which the film is based). Like you, I am lucky. I go to my farmers' market every week; at the supermarket I can choose to spend my grocery money on organic eggs and milk and high-quality meat and ...
