I guess this is one of those heartbreaking realizations that we all must face in our own way at our own time—and I faced it when I ate soup for breakfast. For a few days I had been eating ramen noodles for lunch, and this drew a few derisive snickers from my boss, but nothing like the hurricane of mockery and scorn which enveloped me when I heated up a can of Progresso soup (because I was hungry...
...playing havoc with upwardly mobile mainlanders' waistlines. "In the past, everyone was so poor," says Zhao Min, 28, a Shenzhen dentist who practices combined yoga/ballet three times a week.

Karmakar, like many others, was caught. But in the dust-bowl villages of India, where superstition reigns...
...Berkeley. The vegetarian primates (orangutans and gorillas) are less social than the more omnivorous chimpanzees, possibly because collecting and consuming all that forage takes so darned much time. The early hominids took a bold leap: 2.5 million years ago, they were cracking animal bones to eat the marrow. They ate the protein-rich muscle tissue, says Milton, "but also the rest of the animal--liver, marrow, brains--with their high concentrations of other nutrients. Evolving humans ate...
