FOOD FACTOR: CHICKEN
The average American eats nearly twice as much chicken today as in 1980, but
13% less beef, the USDA says. In 1980, we ate more than twice as much beef
as chicken.
Increased chicken consumption is a good thing: less fat, fewer calories as
long as it's not fried.

CALORIE BURNER: FISHING
Nothing says "relax" like a warm afternoon lazily lounging in a fishing boat
with your line dangling in the water. Hard to believe anything this
enjoyable can burn off 176 calories for a 155-pound person. Up the count to
246 calories by standing and
fishing off the bank.

NEWS FLASH: JOBLESS STRESS
The stress of unemployment may dampen healthy people's immune system
function - but finding a job can restore its fighting power, a study says.
University of California San Francisco researchers followed 100 employed and
100 unemployed adults for 4 months, collecting blood samples to measure
"natural killer" cells.  The unemployed group had weaker activity.  But 25%
of the unemployed found jobs, and their natural killer cells got back on
track.
