		<description><![CDATA[Way, way before the food world jumped onto the kids&#38;obesity bandwagon, I was bitching that advertisers were routinely using chubbies&#38;huskies to subliminally send the message that it’s normal and acceptable to eat and eat and eat some more. Apparently a certain ice cream chain has not gotten the message that thin is in again. An [...]]]></description>

Nutella just settled a suit for $3 million after a woman lost her batshit on learning that the first three letters did not lead to nutritious. Sure, who among [...]]]></description>

The one that was only slightly less Onionesque than yesterday’s promoting a weight-loss “cleanse” as a Mother’s Day gift (talk about shitting where you birthed). [...]]]></description>
