Order french fries or hot wings at a McDonald's or a KFC in the United States and you're more likely to get a super-sized helping of artery-clogging trans fats than you would be at their restaurants in some other countries. A study of the fast-food chains' products around the world found remarkably wide variations in trans fat content from country to country, from city to city within the same nation, and from restaurant to restaurant in the same city.

A Clifton bakery has been warned by the Food and Drug Administration that the fat content in its blueberry and chocolate chip muffins exceed what is stated on the nutrition label -- sometimes by as much as 444 percent. The owner of Butterfly Bakery, which sells sugar-free muffins, cookies and cakes to supermarkets and specialty stores nationwide, said that the company changed the nutritional information on its packaging after the government issued the warning in late May. Brenda Isaac blamed the laboratory her company uses for the problem.

If America is to right its financial ship, we need to have an intervention with government. Government has become like a shopaholic aunt, and we have to get her to turn off the TV and throw away the credit cards. She, on the other hand, wants her credit limit raised and for your kids to send her more money every month. Government has lost its ability to distinguish between a want and a need, and it now needs everything it wants. It wants to intrude on every facet of our way of life by providing "we're much smarter than you" protections, laws and programs that cover everything from the fat content of the food we eat to the number of air bags in an automobile.

Accessibility of online product and disease-state information has paved the way for a new era of patient interaction -- and a new era in branding and communications. Just as pharma followed other industries into customer-relationship management (CRM), industry is following other sectors into Web 2.0 and using the Web to reinforce compliance messaging. Moderators on GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK's) Alli Circles Community counsel that Alli is a program and requires patients to rethink eating habits, choose food with lower fat content, eat three meals a day, do physician activity and not to take anti-diarrhea meds -- steps designed to manage side effects. Quest Diagnostics has used Web 2.0 in its aim to up compliance with annual colorectal cancer screening. If pharma can fashion itself as a partn...

Over the past three decades, rates of obesity in the U.S. have more than doubled among children ages 2 to 5 and more than tripled among those ages 6 to 11. Today, approximately 9 million U.S. children over the age of 6 are considered obese. America's overweight teens consume an average of 700 to 1,000 calories more than they are required each day. Where does agribusiness come in? Schools participating in the National School Lunch Program receive cash subsidies and commodity foods for each meal served plus bonus commodities from agricultural surplus. The program's authorizing language requires that participating schools serve the most abundant commodities - mostly milk and meat, with few fruits and vegetables. In fact, the ties between the government and the commodities industry, aided a...

WHEN I attended grade school, I remember there was a single overweight boy in our class, who was known as the fat kid. Nowadays, a shift in the average size and weight of children may mean there might not be just one fat kid in class. Nearly 20 percent of children in the United States ages 6-11 are overweight, an increase of 45 percent since the 1980s. Since the U.S. surgeon general's acknowledgement of the obesity and overweight epidemic in 2002, research has been pouring in from scientists, biologists and epidemiologists citing numerous causes, risk factors and diets that contribute to being overweight. It is clear that our country is becoming a fatter one, and a fat tax might be a way to shape us up. A fat tax is a tax on unhealthful junk foods, an idea pioneered by Yale University's...
