Abundance of New(s)

Learn to hate Ice Cream, but strangely enough- not cookies. Apparently liking cookies runs deeper in our psyche than ice cream does.
A leading expert in false memories was able to convince up to 40 per cent of people that they had been ill after eating strawberry ice-cream when they were younger.

The researchers at California University were also able to do the same with crisps, but failed when they tried to put a group of students off chocolate chip cookies.

NYC wants less fat in their foods. Newspaper says city health department urges restaurants to stop serving food containing trans fats. About fricking time, and maybe that will help people with some of their diets when they indulge.

Women have a nose for being manipulated. Morale of the story, move to Utah.

First Edition Fitzgerald Found
WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — A first-edition copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age novel The Great Gatsby sat in a box of unsorted volumes at Baldwin's Book Barn for almost two months before it was noticed, and now the bookseller hopes it will bring more than $50,000.
And to think the guy was going to ebay for half that at first.
