New Health Guidelines

New Health Guidelines

- Eat more fruits and vegetables
- Drink more low-fat milk
- Eat more whole grains
- Exercise at least 30, even up to 90, minutes a day
Okay, Gothamist knows we should eat better. But up to 90 minutes at the gym? We'll need Phillip Torrone to help us install a geek gym if we're going to get anything done. Anyway, we liked some of the reaction from New Yorkers to the new guidelines, as captured by Newsday. A hot dog vendor said the government "wants to kill the business of hot dogs. ... You can't eat anything these days." So true. Plus:
"When it comes to diet advice, New Yorkers listen to who looks really good in a bikini in the Hamptons, not the government saying 'Eat more grain because we say it's better for you,'" said Ken Friedman, co-owner of the Spotted Pig in Greenwich Village, where a top-seller is gnudi, a carb-free "pasta" favored by his model clientele.
Funny that - Joe DeSalazar's Eating In recipe was Spotted Pig's Ricotta Gnudi! more ›

Robotic Dogs Can Blog!

Robotic Dogs Can Blog!

Our friend Phillip Torrone's photo moblog has not only himself posting pictures but his Aibo posting pictures as well! Phillip tells us he uses a P900 Sony Ericsson phone to post, but the robot dog, Whuffie, posts "every few hours automatically using its built in camera, his built in WiFi emails it to the site." That's brilliant. Gothamist would like Phillip's real cat to post as well, but that would require PT to implant WiFi and create a special kitty keyboard, and that sounds like a project for 2005. more ›
