1.McDonald's (MCD) is suddenly talking about what's in its burgers. And what's in its nuggets. And, yes, even about the icky topic of pink slime. In an unusual, perhaps risky, social media campaign that's clearly targeting Millennials, the fast-food chain on Monday rolled out the first stage of a promotional effort dotted with "behind-the-scenes" webisodes that it's dubbed: "Our Food. Your Questions."

2.NEW YORK - It was a revelation for Vanessa Ali when she took her boyfriend Kevin Tomas food shopping for the first time. He took one look at the prices and told her to put everything back. "I don't think he realized how much food costs," said Ali, 29, a communications manager at BMO Financial Corp [BMOHF.UL] in Toronto. She went back the next day and filled her cart with the exact same stuff - this time without Kevin. In some households, the cost of the daily grocery bill or the restaurant tab may be minor footnotes. But often, experts say, food bills can be a sore point. "Research shows that the brain perceives food and money as almost the same thing," says Deborah Price, founder of the Novato, California-based Money Coaching Institute and author of "The Heart of Money." Usually, arguments over food bills involve more than the mere cost of milk, bread or organic kale. "They are often about underlying issues, like security, or health, or deep emotional fears," Price says.

BANANAS: While bananas are high in sugar, this naturally occurring sugar is different than the added sugar or corn syrup sweeteners found in processed foods. Bananas are hands down one of my favorite foods because they taste great and are high in fiber, which slows the digestion rate of food. This means that it gives your body some time to burn all the sugar and use it as energy, instead of storing it. That is why many nutritionists suggest eating a banana instead of consuming a sports drink — it has the same effect, yet a banana has more nutritional benefits. Bananas also contain important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, which helps your body fight off nasty viruses and colds. As a bonus, bananas are portable, easy to eat, and don’t require refrigeration — and with the advent of the convenience store fresh case, bananas have never been easier to find.
