Fast-Food Combo Meals Being Forsaken for Dollar Menu | Moneyland | TIME.com
The kicker is that what we see as valuable here isn’t the fruit cup, per se; it’s the ability to order the fruit cup even if we end up with medium fries again — which we probably will. A study conducted by the University of California, San Diego last fall concluded that even when fast-food menus contain healthy choices, people don’t choose them — and only one in six customers pays attention to the calorie counts fast-food eateries are required to post in some municipalities, the British Medical Journal found. “They’re not really interested in ordering more items,” Riggs says. What customers crave, she adds, “is the idea of choice.”

Her weight shouldn't matter, but it does to him | StarTribune.com
Her weight shouldn't matter, but it does to him | StarTribune.com
Dear Prudence: I'm a healthy woman standing 5-foot-5. Before I got married, I weighed 115 pounds. I didn't gain a lot of weight during pregnancy, either. But since our daughter was born (she is now 3), I've had little time for exercise or looking after myself. I now weigh 145 pounds. My doctor says I'm still in the healthy range of BMI and I feel OK. The problem is my husband, who constantly tells me I need to lose weight. At first he tried to say he was worried about my health, but later admitted that he's not as attracted to me as he once was. I am hurt and angry by this, and I am even more determined not to lose weight to please my man. We've argued a lot over my weight and appearance and now neither of us is attracted to each other. Should I lose my weight or should he change his attitude?

Coming foie gras ban brings dinners and dissent - latimes.com
On July 1, SB 1520, the bill that bans the production and sale of both foie gras and foie gras byproducts (including feathers for down jackets and comforters) goes into effect, and anybody wanting a legal taste of the stuff is going to have to do it in another state. After June 30, a restaurant that serves foie gras — typically produced via gavage, a process in which ducks or geese are fed through tubes inserted in their throats — can be fined up to $1,000.

Poncho Guevara and Kathleen Krenek: Higher minimum wage in San Jose would change lives
They identified a policy alternative and tested the argument that forcing businesses to pay their employees $10 an hour would cause them to cut jobs or move to other communities. A Cornell University study on the effect of San Francisco’s similar 2004 minimum wage increase concluded that “the policy increased worker pay and compressed wage inequality, but did not create any detectable employment loss among affected (businesses).”
