We interrupt this section of the newspaper's focus on healthy living for a taste of the cult-like obsession with the little sugar-covered marshmallow treats. Peeps, love them or hate them, will not be ignored. Fresh or stale? Chicks or bunnies? Yellow or white? The debate rages on.

Texting & driving worse than thought, study finds
"Essentially texting while driving doubles a driver's reaction time," Christine Yager, who led the study at Texas A&M University's Texas Transportation Institute, told Reuters on Wednesday.
"That makes a driver less able to respond to sudden roadway dangers."
For the study, 42 drivers between the ages of 16 and 54 drove on an 11-mile test track course while sending or receiving text messages, and drove it again while focusing completely on the road.

Interrupted Sleep Memory
Interrupted Sleep Memory
Interrupted Sleep Memory. A new study seems to confirm what exhausted parents have long suspected but may have been too tired to articulate. Lack of sleep turns the brain to mush. More precisely, waking up too frequently prevents the brain from forming new memories.
Although these results come from a study of mice, some sleep-deprived mothers - including the study's author - say the findings ring true. Sleep researcher Asya Rolls, like many mothers, suffered from "momnesia," the mental fog that sets in shortly after delivery and may continue until youngsters sleep consistently through the night.
"I can remember my children as babies, but it's a very hazy memory, based mostly on photographs and videos," says Rolls, a researcher at Stanford University and co-author of a study in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
