If you're looking for evidence of our twisted relationship with food, look no further than yesterday's LA Times story about what sometimes seems to be the official drink of modern childhood: fruit juice. The simple fact is: juice isn't that good for you. It has more calories than the same

When it comes to restaurants, the term "family-friendly" usually means something fairly specific, something that you have to pick up from cultural clues, not the words themselves. Any restaurant in town, surely, would be friendly to a couple celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary with their grown children. But the particular

Sarah Palin has a lot of thorns in her side, many of her own making. But the unlikely character of Levi Johnston has to be the toughest. Seldom has someone so young and so unremarkable managed to repeatedly ruin the day of a national political figure. Most recently, the 19-year-old

Dr. Seuss, sexist grinch?
Surely, no children's author is more beloved than Dr. Seuss. From the delightful way that his rhymes roll off the tongue, to his astounding ability to share sophisticated metaphors on complex issues, he was a genius. But often his portrayals of women make me cringe. For example, in And to
