The lack of hot breakfast glares as a public symbol that our administration is too careless and too calloused to even keep us fed, that they have hardly progressed since the 1700s. The UC has done nothing, between incendiary e-mails and media stunts for relevance, but found an “Idea Bank” as an “outlet” to silence our concerns. Most of us will...

But other modern diets remain pretty far-fetched. One example is the cabbage-soup diet, which promises that adherents will lose 10 lb. in a week by eating only cabbage soup. A more challenging competitor might be the lemonade diet, which requires dieters to subsist on a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, red pepper and hot water for as long as 10 days. While it may not rely on sound science...
