• Introducing Las Vegas’s Heart Attack Grill, where the food—including lard-cooked fries and extra-butter-added milkshakes—might kill you. And yes, it really exists.
• Also in the category of things that might kill you: ignorance. USA Today reports on a study of overweight and obese people admitted to hospital emergency rooms, who were asked if they thought their weight was unhealthy and if they’d ever discussed it with a healthcare professional.

And of those who understood that it was a problem, only 19 percent reported that they’d talked about it with a doctor. Read more about the study over here.
