Food, nutrition and health news  
No angst? Americans are fat and happy. And they think they are eating healthy diets according to a March 1 Harris Poll.

Nearly two-thirds consider themselves healthy eaters, with the percentage rising to three in four among older Americans and those with more education and income. Less than a quarter profess to follow the government food guide pyramid.
