Fast Food Panic for Nintendo. Buy now!
When you order a fast-food combo meal, like Web Watch did today, you’re not just getting a burger and fries – that is, a meal made solely of meat, bun, ketchup, pickles, cheese, potatoes, some salt and oil.
No, you’re getting quite a few more ingredients thrown into the mix. That bun? Probably has some sugar in it. Those fries? Maybe some extra starch was sprayed on them before cooking.

Buy the book “Eat Healthy Without Going to Extremes”
For the past few years, the Center for Science in the Public Interest has been monitoring what restaurants have been serving, as a way to inform the public about the horrors that await them when eating wonderful, delicious restaurant food.
Web Watch, like you, loves cheese.
We apparently didn’t know that adding cheese to any meal is typically a no-no when it comes to eliminating fat and calories from one’s diet. So we’re torn – cheese tastes good, but it’s bad for you.
Oh well – maybe we’ll just have one or two small bites, then set the rest of these phenomenally sounding meals away to snack on later. Can’t let all that cheese go to waist, can we? (See what we did there? Looks like we mispelled “waste” as “waist”. Ha!)

Web Watch tries to follow a strict rule of thumb when it comes to restaurants that we’ll frequent: we prefer restaurants with a relatively high health score.
For states that follow letter grades, nothing below an “A”.
For states that follow a numeric scale from 0-100, nothing below a “90”.
We know health inspectors and restaurant owners. We’ve read the restaurant report cards. We know that the end-resulting score is a negotiation up, rather than a negotiation down. In other words, if the score is a “81”, you have to wonder what the original score was before the inspector and the restaurant owner came to various agreements over the validity of certain infractions. To us, that “81” is really a “75”. And Web Watch refuses to eat at a place where cleanliness is just average.

The other day, Web Watch was standing in the customer line at our favorite Sausage Shack to gather up some grilling supplies for July 4th weekend.
The gentleman behind us was talking about his love of “natural casing” hot dogs, because he was from Connecticut and knew what he was talking about. After all, he said, Connecticut consumes more hot dogs than any other state.
As we were intrigued by this comment, Web Watch sensed a challenge.

Remembering Fenway Park: An Oral and Narrative History of the Home of the Boston Red Sox
Every once in a while, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) posts something on their website that really does appeal to people from all sectors — their list of the TOP TEN VEGAN-FRIENDLY BASEBALL STADIUMS – because even if you’re a carnivore yourself, you may have friends that are vegan or vegetarian that you like to hang out with.

Want to save money?
Well, you have to ask yourself about what is one of your biggest expenses that you can’t live without.
That’s right – it’s your liquor and beer. What’s life if you can’t have a decent drink once in a while?

David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding, and the rest of the gang at Men’s Health have a great concept that Web Watch wholeheartedly agrees with — if you want to lose weight the easy way, just change what you eat through simple meal replacements.
Like the photo above, you can still have your giant-sized coffee beverage, but the Starbucks version will save you 200 calories and 30 grams of fat.
But let’s face it – their book is full of practical advice when what we really want are the details surrounding the unpublished information on the drinks we really enjoy: beer and liquor.
