Welcome to a new feature on Weighty Matters - Saturday Stories. It'll be a collection of links to stories that I thought were noteworthy throughout the week that was.
Fooducate on whether or not kids should really be served "kids food".
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald on the why funding aspiring Olympic athletes is likely a waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere.
San Francisco Chronicle on how reading this blog and surfing the net may lead you to "aquired attention deficit disorder".
Lastly here's a brief video from one of my favourite researchers, Dr. Brian Wansink, describing some holiday eating strategies (email subscribers you've got to head to the blog to watch the video):
Family doc, Assistant Prof. at the University of Ottawa, and founder of Ottawa's Bariatric Medical Institute - a multi-disciplinary, ethical, evidence-based nutrition and weight management centre. Nowadays I'm more likely to stop drugs than start them, and love going to work in the morning. You can also follow me on Twitter at YoniFreedhoff
