When he was a child, Walker Miller would pick berries and bring them to his mother, who baked "the best blueberry pie you ever ate," he recalls. Today, Miller, 66, a retired Clemson University plant pathologist, has found a way to return to a bit of that past: he owns a 9-acre (3.6 hectares) pick-your-own farm in rural South Carolina, which he named the Happy Berry. At least some of the local children who pick blueberries for their mothers today pick them from Miller's fields. This pleases him--as does the simple hard work the place...
...Nobel Nutrition Prize, studied the effect of rigged, bottomless soup bowls on the human appetite. “We hooked up soup bowls with six quarts of tomato soup,” says Wansink, a food psychologist. According to his study, “the typical person ate around 15 ounces, but others ate more than a quart.” With sexy bombs and horny hamsters, it’s anyone’s guess as to what kind of projects will be honored in next year’s Ig Nobel Awards. And, if you?...
...lifestyles is indeed contributing to the breast-cancer boom, the first and worst of all those new habits is almost surely diet.

...Wansink counters that his approach hits people where they live--and eat. "Once you're in a bar giving people chicken wings, people say, 'Oh, I can relate to that,'" he says, referring to an experiment in which he showed that subjects watching the Super Bowl at a bar ate 28% more chicken wings when the waitresses cleared the bones from the table than when the bones piled up. "That's the only one real people are going to talk about. They're not going to talk about your lab study." Starting this month, Wal-Mart is encouraging its employees...
