Alarmed by the worsening trends, health experts have unleashed a flood of nutritional advice for consumers--much of it contradictory. One expert says red meat is bad.

Diet books and magazine articles try to grab our attention by telling us everything we thought we knew was wrong...
...ahead, enjoy your bacon cheeseburger. But make it a once- or twice-a-month extravagance. Go lean if you can, but above all, go easy.

"I was doing Super-8 movies in high school, and I loved that," he says. "But the idea that somebody was going to put 5 or 10 million dollars in a kid's pocket to direct a movie was ridiculous. 'Where are the adults...
...Tuesday and returned a little bit of hipster to the Jews of Harvard after a stint at the Divinity School. His brainchild is an irreverent quarterly devoted to “the unconventional, non-payis wearing, middle finger to the Hebrew School teacher, motorcycle riding, non-doctor, non-lawyer, bacon cheeseburger eating, rock-and-roll loving, crazy Jew”—or so someone on The New York Times letters page would have it.
