...upper stratosphere, the 57-year-old office manager has tried to cut down on the fat in her diet. Easier said than done. Although the labels on every other product in the grocery store promised nutritional nirvana, Vavreck found herself floundering in quagmires of grease, salt, corn syrup and other dubious digestibles. "I thought I was doing pretty well because I was always buying the stuff that said 'low cholesterol' or 'no cholesterol,' " she recalls. "But then I found out that the fat content in some of them is so high that they're still...
Will the diet-crazed country that embraced artificial sweeteners now accept phony fats? Some of America's biggest food firms are betting heavily on it. The latest entrant is A.E. Staley Manufacturing of Decatur, Ill., which last week served up Stellar, a product derived from corn. At a promotional buffet of Stellar-based margarine and cheese spreads, Staley said the reduced-calorie faux fat will be available early next year to food producers, who can use it to replace from 60% to 100% of the fat in such items as salad dressing, baked goods, meat products, soups, gravies and sauces...

Then he saw a swollen human figure in it -- a failed behemoth, which he associated with the absurd and nasty king of Alfred Jarry's proto-Surrealist comedy, Ubu Roi. Add to that a dirty children's rhyme he remembered from his school days, which in English would have been a limerick; it concerned an elephant in Sumatra that tried to, well, connect with its grandmother. The naked woman in the foreground...
...small towns go, Algona embodies the American Dream. Nestled along the East Fork of the Des Moines River, it is a quietly prospering place for 6,015 men, women and children. And unlike so many other Iowa communities, its economy isn't entirely tied to corn. Algona is the county seat, the home of a Snap-on Tools plant as well as some other light manufacturing, so it is more resistant to the farm recessions that periodically smite neighboring towns...
