Hungry Girl delivers free daily emails with tips and tricks relating to food and dieting (Lisa, who runs Hungry Girl, calls herself a "foodologist" because she's obssessed with food). Yesterday's Hungry Girl email was all about food-related gadgets, including this very strange Octodog Frankfurter Converter which "slices ordinary hot dogs into eight-legged sea creatures."

Heather, who forwarded the email, finds Octodog terrifying, but I'm more scared of this other gadget the Hungry Girl found: the Salter 1450 Nutri Weigh Dietary Computer Scale.

It's a computerized food scale with a database of nutritional information about 1,400 different foods. For me, way too much information.
