The UC Davis dinning commons have recently introduced a new nutrition-labeling method. It’s called the Happy, Healthy Apple rating system and it’s intended to promote student health by encouraging sensible food choices.

Pablo Picasso once said “bad artists copy, good artists steal.” Sure. We all know that Led Zeppelin stole from early blues artists like Muddy Waters; that Wolfmother stole from Led Zeppelin and so on. As any musician should know, it’s hard to find an artist that doesn’t “steal,” or better said, “borrow,” from someone else.
