...detrimental results of fast food's rise in overseas markets. As the industry pushes its high-fat, high-cholesterol, meat-based foods, rates of diabetes, heart disease and stroke are skyrocketing. Obesity rates have tripled over the past 20 years in countries that have adopted the American diet, according to a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2007. Rates of diabetes are expected to reach pandemic levels by 2030. Given all that Americans have learned about how diet affects health, shouldn't we export that knowledge rather than buckets of fried chicken? I'd love...

...just think their team was tougher than we were on the backboard,” Amaker said, adding later, “I think that was the difference.”After a sluggish start, Harvard’s offense played aggressively, challenging the Penn defense with a steady diet of dribble penetration. The Crimson’s quickness forced the Quakers to foul often, putting Harvard in the double bonus just under 14 minutes into the first half.But time and time again, the Crimson failed to convert from the charity stripe, shooting only 18-of-28 on the night...
