  • McD's is about to change their Happy Meals by adding some healthier snacks to them. Hmm. Does adding fries to a Healthy Meal make it a Happy Meal? [url]
  • Healthier salads are on the way -- replacing romaine lettuce with other varieties of greens. Not just healthier, but also more amenable to machine processing, too... [url]
  • Folks seem to like baby carrots a lot more than regular carrots... but not carrots cut up into little balls. And don't advertise carrots as healthy anymore. [url]
  • To discover more food-related links, check out what's floating around in StumbleUpon. [url]  
    • By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

  • Tilapia is apparently the perfect factory fish -- but its story got bumped off the front page of the NYT due to a little bit of Osama bin Laden news. So on an otherwise slow news day, we would have learned that tilapia may not be as healthy for people as other fish and it's considered an invasive species due to its ability to outgrow other fish populations.

  • Baby carrots are going to be the next junk food -- if you believe the marketing hype. Celery sticks don't stand a chance against these little orange guys... [url]
  • Everyone loves bacon -- even vegetarians. It's fried, salty and has plenty of fat, so what's not to like? [url]
