• The Master Cleanser: Day 1

  Status: Green Weight: 171.1 Mood: Optimistic Committed Apprehensive So, this is it? 2009 rings in and we're left to deal with no Cowboys, medicore Mavericks and a hockey team void of Brenden Morrow, Sean Avery and post-season potential? Bor-ring. I know, let's spice things up a bit. With a pinch of Cayenne pepper. And some lemons. And maple syrup. And, oh yeah, no food for 10 days. What's that you say? It's the Master Cleanse, of course.

• Where's The Beef?

  How does this fat tub of lard get off the ground? Only the Texas Health Institute knows for sure.Yet another "warning" was issued last week about obesity in America, this time zeroing in on Texan waistlines in a report authored by a demographer named Karl Eschbach, sponsored by the Texas Health Institute and announced to the public by state senator Jane Nelson of Flower Mound--who said  in not very original terms that excess blubber "is the single most serious threat we fac

• Chewing the Fat: Or Not Chewing The Fat--Same Thing Either Way

  Books about dieting and weight loss. Geez, the shelves are packed full of some expert's latest "scientific" finding, or maybe a "re-discovery" of what humans are supposed to eat in the wild (nuts, berries and kuchikami at parties). The one thing all the books share in common is a claim to being the easiest, the tastiest, most hardcore, the one approved by Oprah ... you get the point. Now comes a study saying what they really have in common are results. Doctors tracked patients over a number

• Which Wich CEO Says He's Conflicted Over Push to Super-Size His Sandwiches

  Late yesterday I came across this story in which Which Wich CEO Jeff Sinelli expressed a certain angst over his Dallas-based sandwich chain's decision to offer the so-called Which Wich Super, a 15-inch, low-priced variation on the standard 8-inch offering. Sinelli was speaking on Sunday in Chicago at the National Restaurant Association Restaurant Hotel-Motel Show -- specifically, he was there for a panel titled "Top Restaurant CEOs Reveal Successful Sales Driving Menu Strategies for Overcoming T

  "Coke's messages were totally unacceptable, creating an impression which is likely to mislead that Coca-Cola cannot contribute to weight gain, obesity and tooth decay." (From a statement released by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission regarding an advertising campaign run by the Atlanta-based soft drink company. Coca-Cola's ads labeled as myths the belief that the product causes your teeth to rot, contributes to weight gain and so on. Coke admits the ads could have bee

  The old progressives made us dump liquor. The new ones want us to heed their diet demands.​Now, you all know I'm the kindhearted, gentle sort, right? That I would never write anything harsh about mindless poseurs ordering dirty martinis or suggest a certain rank dish should be dumped over the offending chef's head?Never ever.So it may surprise you that I consider Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman a...well, best not to use those words in print. Let's just say her 2001 piece calling for a new
