Where is my mind?

The ADD post.

Indie Artists Drum Up Corporate Ties --- YUCK! Do you really think you can still call your band "indie" at that point? I mean, I know we all gotta survive but wow does that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Netherlands boots tobacco users from bars and restaurants -- even in coffee shops, it's the end of an era *tear*

Does anyone else get the feeling we just might be ushering in a new era of tolerance? Feels good, right?

This article was heart-warming. And while I'm not always 100% into the California way of doing things (I'm all east coast, baby), there are definitely times when I'm really happy to be living in this state.

Calorie count legislation

As I'm sure you probably know, New York and California legislators are pushing restaurants to publish calorie counts. While I think it is important to have this freedom of information, particularly in chain restaurants and fast food joints, I am wholly against the idea of calorie counts on all menus, hell maybe even all chains (see link below). Maybe give patrons the option. I just don't think I need to know what that delicious piece of meat topped with sizzling butter or the pastry shelf at Tartine is doing to my waistline -- I'm already racked with guilt for my ability to afford such gluttonous luxuries, does one really need to bring health into it? In my opinion, the answer is a definite "no" - taste like that is too good to corrupt. In this case, ignorance really is bliss.
