...curled wafers that are burnished with a savory and peppery spice blend, or the even more tantalizing incendiary jalapeno chips, hot enough to drive the muncher straight to a can of cold Dixie beer. Judging by the high price of Maui chips (as much as $7.59 for a 7-oz. bag), Hawaiians like heavy grease -- as do certain Angelenos. Jurgensen's, a high-toned Southern California grocery, buys all it can get of these dark, oily chips. The steep price does not discourage devotees like Andrea Sharp, a Los Angeles waitress.

The device broadcasts a signal to a receiver hooked up to the wearer's home phone, which in turn relays it to a computer at the probation department. If the wearer strays more than 100 ft., the computer...
...habits, often recommending "grazing," or eating many small meals throughout the day. It can take a year "to change people's ways of thinking and behaving in regard to eating," says Sherry Siegel, founder of a Chicago weight-consulting firm. There are also those who proffer unorthodox advice, like Oz Garcia, a successful, self-taught New York City nutritionist who decides what clients should eat after he has analyzed their hair. "I was a walking penny," says Amy Greene, 54, a makeup consultant at the chic Henri Bendel store. Garcia found that her hair had a high copper content...
