The day in food

The new dietary guidelines are out, and they're about as revolutionary as these activity guidelines (except the former are no joke). You have to take care to tip-toe around the food industry, especially if you're trying to shed your anti-business reputation. Unfortunately, as usually happens when lobbyists win, the rest of us lose.

By the way, here's what other ingredients you can find in Taco Bell products. What's even more disturbing, though, is that Taco Bell is hardly alone in its embrace of maltodextrin--it's in pretty much everything, including many Whole Foods and Trader Joe's products.

Anyway, you can one-up the new food guidelines: don't just eat your vegetables; wear your vegetables (and your chocolate), like these people.
