I have a set of these, and I absolutely LOVE them. They all have magnets in them, so they stick together! I never have to go rummaging around in my utensils drawer to find the 1/2 teaspoon measurer. It's wonderful. These ones are particularly wonderful because they have a rounded side (perfect for measuring water, vanilla, oil, etc.) AND a longer oval-shaped side (super-helpful when you're trying to get spices out of their jars!). And on top of all that, they have flat bottoms so you can set them down on the counter without spilling!

Obese Kids Love Junk Food Advertisements

01.01.70

No surprise, 10 obese kids were delighted to look at logos of food brands they like.

They assessed - and you see the problem right away, just seeing that term - 10 healthy weight and 10 obese children, ages 10-14 years, using both self-reported measures of self-control and functional magnetic resonance imaging, which uses blood flow as a measure of brain activity. The children were shown 60 food logos and 60 nonfood logos, and functional magnetic resonance imaging scans indicated which sections of the brain reacted to the familiar logos being shown.

Obese children showed greater activation in some reward regions of the brain than healthy weight children when shown the food logos. Healthy weight children showed greater brain activation in regions of the brain associated with self-control, when shown food versus nonfood logos. Overall, healthy weight children self-reported more self-control than the obese children which led the psychologists to conclude that showing that in certain situations, healthy weight individuals experience greater activation of control regions of the brain than obese individuals.
