Diet Sunglasses?!

The Diet industry is a multi-Billion dollar industry, so does this surprise you?

Got the dieting blues?
You’ve all heard that joke about a chubby guy or gal being on a “see food” diet. Well, a Japanese company named Yumetai seems to have given some serious thought to the matter, creating dieter’s sunglasses with deep blue lenses that make the food you’re eating look, well, disgusting.

Now you know why food isn’t blue
There’s more to it than that – according to Yumetai, there’s a scientific explanation behind these sunglasses and the lenses are blue for a very good reason: the color blue acts to calm the brain’s appetite center.

At the same time, the lenses block rays of red light which tend to stimulate the appetite. Make sense? Hey, if you’re a desperate dieter you’ll believe just about anything but if you think about it, there aren’t many obese Japanese walking around outside the sumo dojo.

This colorful 3D graph adds cred to Yumetai’s site
If you want to put the diet sunglasses to the test, you can order them online from the Yumetai website for just 1,890 yen (about $19) plus shipping. The aviator-style sunglasses weigh just 25 grams (about an ounce) and are made in Japan.

Considering the many millions of dollars Americans lay out on diet remedies every year, it may be time for a new approach. Plus, the fact that many fattening food already look disgusting doesn’t seem to stop those intent on pigging out in style. What have you got to lose? Well just maybe, your appetite!

Ground beef recalled over E. coli death

New York company linked to illnesses from eating tainted meat

ASHVILLE, N.Y. – A New York meat company has recalled almost 546,000 pounds of ground beef because, according to health officials, contaminated meat has caused illness and one death.

A New Hampshire resident died and two others were hospitalized after consuming ground beef that may have been tainted by bacteria that can cause diarrhea, dehydration and kidney failure.

The death was connected to the recall of ground beef products by Fairbank Farms, of Ashville, New York. The U.S. Agriculture Department said it became aware the meat might be tainted by E. coli O157:H7 bacteria during an investigation of a cluster of food-borne illnesses in New England.

New Hampshire officials announced the death on Saturday but did not release information about the victim. Two other New Hampshire residents have been hospitalized, they said.

USDA said it worked with health officials and “determined that there is an association between the fresh ground beef products subject to recall and illnesses in Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts.”

A string of food-borne safety scares led the U.S. House of Representatives to pass legislation this summer to require more inspections and oversight of food manufacturers and would give the government new authority to order recalls.

Fairbank Farms announced the recall on Saturday. The beef was produced in mid-September and probably was labeled for sale before the end of the month, said USDA. It went to retailers in eight states including Trader Joes, Price Chopper, Lancaster and Wild Harvest, Shaw’s, a unit of Supervalu, BJ’s,F ord Brothers and Giant, a unit of Ahold. The ground beef packaged under the Fairbank Farms name was distributed to stores in Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and was likely repackaged for sale.

The federal agency says the ground beef was sold at numerous retail stores. Each package carried the number “EST. 492″ on the label.

For a complete list of retailers, consumers can check the USDA Web site.
