CBC News: Scales tip higher for heavier people
I found the latter half of this article more interesting than the first. Kraft is going to change the portion sizes of its snacks to make them healthier. Wow. Umm... the food is still crap. And if you are used to a certain size and it is decreased, wouldn't most people just eat two then? I really hope that the "change how they make snacks" includes a totally new ingredient list.

I saw elsewhere that Olean will now longer require the warning label... the one that says you'll probably be on the toilet a few hours later. Olean is made with sugar by the way. So, in the effort to avoid fat, you get sugar, which is just as bad. Apparently in testing, chips made with Olean didn't produce any noticeable effect compared with regular chips.
