Today's oxymoron: calorie counting at Culver's
I like the fast food eatery's Wisconsin roots, but other than that, I'm not a big fan, mostly because there isn't a single item on the menu that works for me. Sure, a double cheeseburger sounds great, but most of my metabolism stayed in the '90s and I haven't had a double anything since.

Vanishing food on kids' meals is a sign of the times
If you're looking for some tangible evidence of the recession, it's all around -- especially at the supermarket, where prices are going up and the net weight of the products is going down. But if you have kids and order off the kids' menu when dining out, you've got proof right on your child's plate, where the recession and narrowing margins are making their mark, causing food to vanish.
