		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, I had the pleasure of being a guest on Peoples Pharmacy, a great public radio show that hails out of Durham NC.  We had a far ranging, rapidly shifting conversation about lots of things.  <a href="http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2011/01/22/799-making-smart-health-decisions/" target="_blank">Check it out if you are interested</a>.  The show even gave me a chance to learn a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Last summer, New York City made a great stride toward promoting public health, by requiring chain restaurants to prominently publish calorie counts alongside their menus. This type of regulation holds the promise of improving people&#8217;s eating habits, without restricting their freedom to order whatever they want.
Theoretically, this new regulation should help consumers make better choices: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Studying economics in college at the dawn of the Reagan presidency, I learned about the wonders of free-markets. The invisible hand of the market, I read, guarantees that thousands upon thousands of people&#8211;each with unique desires, abilities and values&#8211;mesh together, thereby able to achieve the balance of work and leisure, and of material and spiritual [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hiking in Switzerland several years ago, I came across a trail that seemed to dead-end at a farmer&#8217;s gate. I looked around for a way to avoid the property, but there was none. Instead, the trail continued through the middle of the farm. I walked through the gate, side-stepping some livestock in the way (and [...]]]></description>

Quick: What do you get when you mix a Nobel Prize winner with a MacArthur genius?
You get this: &#8220;The claims of some heavy drinkers and smokers that they want to but cannot end their addictions seem to us no different from the claims of single persons that they want to but are unable to marry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not long before the presidential election, the Wall Street Journal editorial page warned its readers about what it called the attack of the killer Oreos. You have to admit it&#8217;s a pretty sensational image &#8212; of an Oreo silently stalking its prey, leaping upon an unsuspecting consumer. In fact, this is exactly the kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American soldiers have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan for over four years now. Tragically, some have returned home in coffins. But because of advances in military medicine, many more have come home alive but wounded, with embedded shrapnel and missing limbs serving as permanent reminders of their time serving our country.
