Fury over Marie Claire "fatties" blog
Marie Claire.com writer, Maura Kelly wrote a piece titled “Should "Fatties" Get a Room? (Even on TV?).” She was talking about the sitcom "Mike and Molly" and said the sitcom was "promoting obesity." The magazine got over 30,000 responses to the post. Kelly has since updated her post to apologize and admit that she had her own issues with anorexia and life long obsession with being thin. The magazine's editor-in-chief, Joanna Coles, has also spoken out on the controversy. CNN's Kiran Chetry spoke with psychology professor, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who was also a psychologist on the Bravo series "Thintervention" on the outrage a Marie Claire article sparked.
'Black-out in a can"?
(CNN) - Nine Central Washington University students hospitalized this month after an off-campus party were sickened by "Four Loko," a caffeinated malt liquor also known as "blackout in a can," according to a police investigation.
Investigators concluded that none of the students were drugged or given alcohol without their knowledge and no sexual assaults occurred, according to a school statement.
The findings convinced university President James Gaudino to ban "alcohol energy drinks" from his campus. CNN's senior medical correspondent, Elizabeth Cohen discussed the concerns raised over the drink.
