...those SpongeBob Cheez-It crackers from your kid's hands, you're not alone. Public-health advocates say food advertising aimed at children has spun out of control--infiltrating schools, sports arenas, the Web and, of course, TV, where it has become ubiquitous, thanks to the explosion of 24/7 children's programming on cable and satellite. Killing the messenger won't cure the childhood-obesity epidemic, experts agree. But calls are rising for the Feds to crack down, as a growing body of research suggests that all this advertising is doing a terrific job of whetting kids' appetite for fatty...
...Patrician to Be President? In "Beware Flannel-Mouth Disease!" [March 1], columnist Joe Klein argues that to be successful in the presidential race, John Kerry will have to overcome the fact that he probably drinks wine, doesn't eat Cheez Whiz, speaks French and has trouble uttering simple English sentences.

Early in the campaign, Kerry committed the abomination of ordering Swiss cheese instead of Cheez Whiz for his Philly cheesesteak--that's almost as grievous as asking for a "splash" of coffee, as Bush the Elder once did. (Bush the Younger has been careful to let us know that he favors bologna sandwiches.) Furthermore, John Kerry speaks fluent French. It is no accident that a White House staffer once said, "He looks French." The Heinz Kerrys hang...
While Ted Allen, the Queer Eye food and wine connoisseur, won't let straight folks serve up Cheez Whiz, Semi-Homemade's Lee swears by it as a flavor base. "It's about getting that 'from scratch' result without all the energy and effort," claims Lee. It is also about priorities. "Life is the blink of an eye," she says. "When you realize how short it ultimately is and how really insignificant perfection is, that doesn't mean you don't want to do things well, but you want to do them faster so you can take a bath, drink...
