Numbing the Pain
We mentioned yesterday that teens most affected by the 9/11 attacks drank and smoked more than their peers after that day. The study, conducted by Columbia's School of Public Health, said that high school students directly exposed to the tragedy were almost twice as likely to abuse booze and cigarettes than those not “severely” affected. But the trend was also seen in firemen who worked at the site, showing a 30% increase in smoking after the attacks. But a new smoking cessation program sponsored by the FDNY has had enormous success.
The Whole Truth
A few months ago, the city Health Department introduced a new initiative to get bodegas in the outer boroughs to offer 1% fat milk. Despite our hopes for this making a large nutritional impact, it turns out that even though customers are actually buying the low-fat stuff, most still seem to prefer the good old fully-bodied version.
Yes, Chocolate is Bad for Your Pet
Dude. There was this one time in high school when my friend Matt totally wasn't looking and we gave a piece of chocolate to his dog and it got sick and, like, almost died. Seriously, it really happened. Seriously.

NOOO! My plan to make latinos drink fatty whole milk is in trouble. Hopefully no one realizes by drinking daily the lactose of a barn animal it will cause them to become fat and lazy thus making healthcare unaffordable and thereby prolonging their socioeconomic status and they will stay on the fringes of society thereby preserving the hierarchy of this white male dominated society.
Rest easy dog owners, I speak from experience when I tell you that dogs have to eat quite a bit of chocolate before they get sick. I have a 54 pound mutt and he an ENTIRE box of mint fudge oreos. Later that night he puked once and was fine.
According to my vet the choclate has to be dark to do "real" damage (not that milk chocolate is good, it's just a little more diluted so not as dangerous) and really - your dog has to chow before it's killer. So a peanut M&M every so often is not terrible.
"Most People Would Prefer to Be Thin and Poor than Fat and Rich."
I dunno. Think I'm going to stick with Fat and Rich. After all, it's a lot easier to get thin than to get rich.
Stupid people, don;t they realize that once you're rich you can pay for liposuctions..
