    Regarding the third article, obesity can be a relative determination.

  2. Brian says:

    Regarding the fifth article, the prospect of people growing new organs should be exciting for the medical community and industry.

    And indeed, a very interesting issue dealt with by SCOTUS.

  3. Ken says:

    The moral of this story: don’t leave any excess sperm behind.

  4. Larry C. says:

    On the first item, it’s a whale of story.

    on the Brody story:

    “When did it become O.K. to eat in bookstores?” That’s a funny question. But, when you think about it we are living in an increasingly luxurious and comfort driven society. Everything has to be an experience. It’s no wonder food has become a part of habits we would never have associated it with before.

  6. Buster says:

    I can easily see how a fat doctor wouldn’t condemn a fat patient.

    Re: Drug shortages. What’s next? Organized crime syndicate?

  8. Anne Alice says:

    I couldn’t agree more with the piece on dining out on meals that should serve two. It’s foolish to eat a meal off a platter that you’d use to serve two to four from at home. What makes us such gluttons when we eat out??

  9. Studebaker says:

    Woman conceives with the sperm of deceased husband. Now she wants his Social Security survivor benefits for the kids.

    I don’t know what to make of this. I certainly don’t think children conceived after death should qualify for survivor’s benefits.

    A typical American restaurant meal is more like dinner for two.

    I’ve heard that before. Restaurants and establishments that are in the business of selling food are far more interested in making it look and feel tasty than making it healthy. Whereas people at home might make trade-offs and use less oil or butter to reduce the calorie count, restaurants will go to any length to make food desirable as long as their customers don’t express a preference (by going somewhere else). It’s not the restaurants’ fault. It’s the fault of consumers for not demanding something that is healthy.
