If you'd like to know how KFC's Double Down chicken sandwich stacks up against other fast food "delights", check out this detailed explanation by Nate Silver.

If you've read my book, you know that there are a few "musts" for proper diet and health. One of those "musts" is to read the food label. Here is an excellent interview with one of my "food heroes" - Marion Nestle and Urvashi Rangan.

With my views of diet and health, you might think that I would endorse a "special" tax on soda (Coke, Pepsi, and others). I do not. 

If you do that, you might as well tax other offenders: fast food, candy, and others. My recommendation: Show people what they are drinking. Here it is.

Here's a video of the discussion on the Today Show.
