...news would be welcome to some dieters. On the other hand, it's important to remember that 11 calories an hour is not really all that impressive when compared to other low-impact calorie-burning activities.

That sort of exertion, on a regular basis, could result in a hefty weight loss - and would produce significantly less strain on relationships than a round-the-clock regimen of snapping, bubble-blowing and chewing...

...proposed using soy as an alternative to some of the meats in school lunch menus. American school refectories, which depend heavily on pork, poultry and beef, have been hard-pressed to meet government limits for fat content in lunches, even as school-age children gain weight at a record pace. Predictably, ranchers, chicken and pig farmers are raising a ruckus over the agency's proposal - but analysts predict the increasingly health-conscious public is ready for tasty alternatives to meat.
