...thousands of books published on obesity, body weight is the result of a pretty simple equation: calories taken in vs. calories expended. Over the past few decades, the entire American environment has become much more obesogenic, or obesity-supporting. Think of the ever increasing supply of fast-food outlets, where meal sizes have ballooned, or the fact that simple physical activity has been largely eliminated from the daily lives of children, who ride in cars where their grandparents might have walked and entertain themselves with an array of sedentary electronic pastimes that didn't even exist a generation...
Arkansas isn't the only state trying to tackle childhood obesity. In 2003, California led the way by banning sugary sodas from public schools and was soon followed by states across the country, with the result that the major soft-drink companies agreed to withdraw all high-calorie sodas from schools by 2009. In Arizona, the Pima tribe of Native Americans, which has some of the highest obesity levels in the world, is growing school gardens in the desert to supply cafeterias with fresh vegetables and reconnect kids to a traditional cuisine. Today at least 17 states have set nutritional...
...George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in Atlanta. That's a play I have known intimately my whole life. But until you really crawl inside of it and see how it works, it's not part of you. I know I'm a better playwright as a result of acting."

...result of that stress that the problem of eating disorders can arise. As many as 10 million women and 1 million men in the U.S. suffer from an eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA). Nearly 90% of those afflicted are under the age of 20, and females between the ages of 15 and 24 are 12 times as likely to die from anorexia as any one other cause of death. A 2005 study published in the journal Pediatrics determined that of 10,000 teens surveyed, less than half of the males and about a third...
...result? The Aptera's drag will be a third of an average car's and less than half of the Prius', which now has the lowest drag in the industry. Cheap technology allowed Fambro to create such an aerodynamic design on a limited budget. For $50,000 Fambro found some off-the-shelf software--the same kind NASA uses to test the drag of its space vehicles. To keep drag as low as possible, for example, the three-wheeled car has no side-view mirrors--the driver has 180° rear visibility with the help of rear-mounted cameras. He estimates...
