Good news on the cheeseburger front - perhaps saturated fats aren't so terrible after all.  Walter Russell Mead's blog notices that the human body is a complex system and that dietary science can't seem to make up its mind about what is good/bad for us.  Perhaps the wide world of "settled science" would benefit by taking on a bit of humility.  Full post here.  Excerpt here:

"Dogmatism is the enemy of science and the reality is almost always more complicated than the current consensus, especially as it is transmitted to us through the media."
