...lawsuits that allege they have engaged in misleading advertising--whether by misstating calorie information or failing to disclose health risks when describing a food as nutritious. Plaintiffs' lawyers argue that consumers who rely on inaccurate information can't make informed decisions about what to eat. Robert's American Gourmet just settled a class action claiming that the firm misstated the calorie and fat content of the popular Pirate's Booty snack and reportedly paid out more than $3 million. The company had no comment on the suit. McDonald's paid $12.5 million in 2001 and issued a public apology...

I loved being in the kitchen, watching the customers come in and talk about what they liked and didn't like. He had to close the stores after two years, but for me, they left an imprint...
Telenovelas are TV's fast food--inexpensive and filling--but networks will have to find a way to raise the production values to the gourmet standards American viewers take for granted. An ordinary family drama like 7th Heaven costs $2 million an episode, while a show like 24, with location shots and elaborate special effects, is "like a feature film" that airs every week, Galán says, and can cost even more. With so many episodes to produce, telenovelas are shot on the cheap: they use video, not film, and an entire run might take place on just a handful...
