...influence over the dinner menu has proved no match for the $36 billion in food-marketing dollars ($10 billion directed to kids alone) designed to get us to eat more, eat all manner of dubious neofoods, and create entire new eating occasions, such as in the car. Some food culture...
...investment for IREA, Spain's biggest real estate consultancy. "Ten years ago you could sell anything." As competition matures in Morocco, Turkey and Croatia, Spain's smart money is appealing to upscale sunseekers like the Harveys.

...1990s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine published a report declaring that moderate exercise was just fine--anything from washing the car for an hour to gardening for 45 min. to raking leaves to taking a leisurely stroll around the block. And it didn't even have to be all in one shot. Three short walks, for example, could substitute for one longer one. Since then, the Surgeon General, the National Institutes of Health and the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports have all come out with similar guidelines...
