POPSAlmonds boost weight loss According to Wien, “The weight-loss benefits of eating almonds came as something of a surprise, since the study was originally designed to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering effects of almonds. As it turned out, the dieters who ate almonds lost more weight than would be expected if they were taking prescription diet pills.”

POPSComfort Foods Humans are not as lucky as monkeys in one way. Female humans report they eat high calorie foods to make themselves feel better when stressed but they don't actually feel better after eating them. Instead, because they are restrained eaters, they feel guilt and actually feel worse. Female monkeys don't have that cognative baggage. Only monkeys, it seems, find comfort in comfort foods."

POPSNew Meat Eating Dinosaur Unveiled "The first remains of Carcharodontosaurus were found in the 1920s, but they only consisted of two teeth which have since been lost," said Brusatte. "Other bits of Carcharodontosaurus were found in Egypt and described in the 1930s, but these were destroyed when Munich was bombed in 1944. "Since then a skull of Carcharodontosaurus saharicus turned up in the Moroccan Sahara, and was described a decade ago. So as you can see, evidence for this dinosaur is very rare."

POPSGirls who don't like MEAT So, the title is a little racy, I"m gonna see what that does for me. ;) Anyway, that is the most ridiculously suggestive pear I've ever seen! (And I've seen a lot of ridiculously suggestive pears, so I would know!) But on the other hand, this does raise a number of important questions about vegetarianism for me. First and foremost: is it really a moral decision? Or simply a solipsistic way of feeling self-important? Mind you, there are plenty of legitimate vegetarians. (Even I experimented with vegansexuality when I was in college, but it was just a phase, I swear! ;) Ted Haggard cured me!) (I also own all the Smiths albums, so that should get me off the hook, right?) But there are a lot more vegetarians out there who are really over the top, and I begin to wonder what they're trying to achieve. Why take a moral stand, but only for cute animals? Why the rhetoric? Above all else, why the evangelism and hostility towards non-vegetarians?

POPSGay Tourism in Buenos Aries: Fabuous! Actually, now that they put it that way, I guess it does make sense. I mean, if your city is famous for dancing and swarthy, mustachioed, meat-eating men, well, honestly, gay tourism does sound like your best bet. I'm still cracking up over this picture. I can imagine the photographer saying "Okay, now I want you to all look really really gay! ... No! no! no! Not gay enough! You, in the back, unbutton your shirt, and the rest of you, elbows in, wrists out! There you go! Perfect!"
