In the United States, research suggests it costs significantly more to eat healthy than to eat processed. As Food, Inc. points out, when a family has a few dollars to spend on food per day, why would they buy a few apples if they can buy a Big Mac for the same price?

Farmers markets may help mitigate that problem. In Canada, Kristian Larsen and Jason Gilliland found that the addition of a farmers market to a “food desert” — an urban location with poor access to healthy and affordable food — significantly reduced the cost of eating a nutritionally balanced meal. Another team of Canadian researchers found that local food environments can lead to obesity and suggests that improving access to natural food — farmers markets, anyone? — can combat this trend.

Plus, as Jaydee Hanson argues, eating locally has food safety perks because it minimizes the number of places your food has been. “It won’t keep you from getting sick,” she said, “but at least you’ll know who made you sick.” - Miller McCune

First there was the chocolate aerosol that gave chocoholics all the flavour without the calories of their favourite snack.

Now the same scientists have come up with the coffee spray that gives you as much caffeine as found in one single espresso.

...The sticks are sold individually for $3 or in boxes of three for $8. Each stick delivers 100 milligrams of caffeine, the equivalent of a cup of espresso.

A 'whiffer' can get up to nine hits from an individual stick, depending on how hard they inhale.

All of Le Whifs are biodegradable, organic and contain less than one calorie

Years of exposure to the elements, coupled with over-zealous visitor “touching,” has caused widespread damage to the skeleton, with large sections of its protective coating sloughing away from the delicate bone underneath. The skeleton had become so fragile, according to officials, that not long ago the museum restricted visitors from walking through and around it for fear of possible breakage and visitor injury - SB Indy
