Health

I spent the last month in Israel, where I was on a steady diet of beige foods: hummus, pita, tahini, falafel, and shawarma. It was delicious - and very filling - but I am happy to be back in Toronto for local fruit season.

IUDs may be more than just contraception.

If you're like me, you like sitting - and you spend most of your day doing it. I sit while writing, while eating and while watching episodes of The Good Wife. I even sit when I'm exercising – thank you stationary bike.

How would you like to diet less but lose more?

My wife doesn’t cook, but she does lots of other stuff. If I were in charge of finances we’d be living in a cardboard box. Food is my domain, and I’m mediocre at it. Well, let’s say I’m “pretty good.”
