A new study of over 2000 vegans entitled VEGAN FROM THE INSIDE shows that veganism really isn’t as weird or awful as it might sound to those who don’t practice it or aren’t familiar with the diet.

So you want to lose weight, but don’t have a good weight-loss diet program?
You can always do what Web Watch does — just pay attention to the quality of the food service at the restaurants you eat at. Because let’s face it – people are generally gross, and don’t really care.
Ask any friend of yours who has worked in food service. They’ve all done — or seen — some really nasty stuff go on behind-the-scenes in the restaurant kitchen.
For example, next time you go into your favorite local establishment, take a look at the posted health score on the wall. And keep in mind that no matter how high that number is, the restaurant manager had to negotiate that upwards from where it was originally. So while you may see an 89 out of 100 point score on the wall, you have to ask what was so awful that the health inspector couldn’t bring it up to a 90.
Yeah. Low food scores are pretty gross. Good sign of cross-contamination or other major food handling issues that can get you pretty sick. Half the battle of sticking to a diet is just deciding not to eat at those kinds of places.
Tom Locke had a vision a few years ago.
He went and bought himself a roll of 100 stamps, costing him $39.
Then Tom said to himself, “why spend $39 on a roll of stamps if I’m not really going to get anything for it?” He likened this purchase to walking into a casino and spending $39 on a slot machine or blackjack table. Where’s the cost-benefit of spending that much money on stamps?

Sometimes art imitates life.
Take this chart, for instance: A GUIDE TO LUNCHROOM SOCIAL GROUPS, THROUGH LIFE.
Web Watch does enjoy watching Food Network shows like WORST CHEF IN AMERICA, if only because we know that we are certainly not inept in our own kitchen.
We may not make the most amazingly-great tasting or nutritiously well-balanced meals, but we would never starve ourselves or our guests. And it’s all because Web Watch knows our way around a kitchen. Cooking is like driving – the method may not be pretty, but we’ll get you there.
Thanks for visiting Web Watch this past year. We thought we’d take a quick look at how 2010 has gone, and share some details on what our visitors were most interested in reading before we dive into 2011:
A study by University of Virginia professor Kathyrn Sharpe in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing entitled “Consumption Effects of Bundling: Consumer Perceptions, Firm Actions, and Public Policy Implications,” says that ordering combo meals may not be good for you, health-wise.
The study found that when given a choice of ordering menu items a la carte vs ordering them as a combo meal, consumers would order the combo more often — even if the price point was exactly the same as the a la carte options.
