...Toys in children's food may be as old as Cracker Jack (the caramel-covered popcorn has had "a prize in every box" since 1912), but in Spain, the tradition may soon go the way of liquor commercials on TV and smoking in restaurants. Concerned about rising rates of childhood obesity, the Health Ministry is backing legislation that, if approved, would ban restaurants and food manufacturers from including toys and prizes with their products. It's an initiative sure to make multinational corporations - to say nothing of untold millions of children - unhappy, but one that health experts say is necessary...
...same complaint about superficiality can be lodged against Amelia. We learn a lot about where Earhart went and what she wore - behold the sumptuous caramel-colored leather jumpsuit! But the woman herself remains tantalizingly out of our grasp, and not just because she, her navigator and their plane vanished over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, leaving no trace but spurring hundreds of theories about their fate. The movie dutifully covers the high points and a few details you didn't learn in grade school - including Earhart's great passion for Gore Vidal's father and how much...

Clearly I was a lost soul, wandering dazed and confused in a vast batter-dipped, sugar-coated, super-sized wonderland of foot-long corndogs, deep-fried Snickers, Xtreme Tenderloins, Mac n' Cheese Bites, Grater Taters, Dippin' Dots, curly fries, chili-cheese nachos, caramel-coated marshmallows, frozen s'mores, funnel cakes and rootbeer floats. "You're pretty hard-pressed to find anything healthy," the woman added. But she gamely tried to steer me to a few hidden outposts of relatively nutritious fare. And they do exist.
