Would listing calories on fast food menus sway you and other tiddly bits around the skinny-sphere

• Good old 60 minutes did a story on how the NYC Health Commissioner is now trying to make it mandatory for fast food chain restaurants in NY to list calorie count on the menus. The point is to help combat obesity and other weight issues by showing consumers right away how much they are consuming. Personally, the see no evil means eating no evil rule was just fine for my sense of denial. It would be much harder to convince myself to chow that Chalupa or Western Bacon Cheeseburger with the calories screaming in my face. [60 minutes on Yahoo]

• Talk about anal retentive. If I said to you, "Did you know that there are eggs in Egg Nog?" You would most likely reply, "No sh*t Sherlock." Well, an FDA inspector gave the slammeroo to Smiling Hill Farms because their Egg Nog did not list "eggs" on the ingredients list. The bureaucrat wanted to do a recall but the state of Maine said, "Come on dude let's be reasonable." So, the folks at Smiling Hill went to Staples and bought a bunch of red round labels and wrote "Warning contains eggs" and put them on the egg nog bottles. As a consumer, I would have read the tag and said to myself, "Yeah, no sh*t Sherlock." [Maine Today] [pic]

• There's never been a better time to have huge hooters in the UK. Big British retailer Marks & Spencer is increasing their bra selection to include J-cups. Sorry to be rude, but if you had boobies that ginormous wouldn't you be thinking more ta-ta reduction surgery versus greater frilly bra selection? I would. [Daily Mail]

• Alrighty, the Daily Mail is just chock full of truly pointless yet interesting info today. Lab coats now determine that chocolate was actually a happy mistake made by the Aztecs 3,000 years ago. They were actually trying to make beer but ended up with a sweet frothy beverage which the Spanish Conquistadors loved so much and thus took home with them back to Spain where it spread around Europe. The Aztec "chocolate beer" was also used as currency. Man, we'd all be billionaires today if that were still the case. [Daily Mail]
