I swear I saw a Saturday morning Good Morning America entry exposing the fact that cell phone apps cause anorexia -- well, so they implied without actually saying so. They found some anorexia sufferers who happen to use their iphone calorie-counting apps to monitor their OCD path to starvation. Do the apps cause the mental illness? You decide! (I can't find the report online now.)

Also, you can use the Good Morning America adult BMI calculator app to see how fast your cell phone apps are killing you. An app to find out if your apps are killing you? There's an app for that!

Luckily, my cell phone has no apps and care barely recognize a text message. This is causing me to overeat. That's why GMA BMI calc says:  "The information you provided gives a BMI of 25.8. Your BMI suggests that you are overweight*."

Tomorrow they are promising to tell us about the "stores where we love to shop... what little secret seeds are they planting in your head?"

In sum, things GMA wants you to be terrified of this week: being overqualified, dying via phone app, and shopping.
