Could an extra bowl of Häagen-Dazs ice cream be the new solution for women who are having difficulty conceiving? A recent study led by a research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health shows that consumption of ice cream and other high-fat dairy foods is associated with a decreased risk of one type of infertility. Fat-soluble foods are thought to improve ovarian functions, and the study’s authors say that fact could explain the decreased infertility rate in women who consume regular dairy foods. Inversely, low-fat dairy foods were associated with...
...remarkable how unremarkable it is that a gay person is hosting the Oscars. True, it's not as if we lack for gay people watching the Oscars, and DeGeneres did host the Emmys in 2001. But the Academy Awards is something else; with the Super Bowl and American Idol, it's one of our last three true mass-media rituals. Its host is the de facto M.C. of mainstream America.

On Sunday, February 5, Snickers aired a commercial during the Super Bowl that apparently showed Snickers’ C.M. Burns-like evil plan to make the world unsafe for gay people. No, it’s not the caloric content, though my trainer finds it prohibitively high. The commercial, which had four alternate endings, showed a pair of auto mechanics inadvertently touching lips while sharing a Snickers bar. To compensate for their accidental smooch, they “do something manly” like tear...
...makers of Doritos are right in their statement that we’re all winning. But it has little to do with who coached in the Super Bowl...
