I thought cocaine was an appetite suppressant, and causes hyperactivity & restlessness.

So technically, we should be running away from all the wonderful food and gelato offerings while in Rome...

Oh, missed that one. Well, in that case, the cocaine and marijuana would cancel each other out, don't you think?

In any case, a very interesting story.

I suspect the simpler answer of why you are "always hungry" in Rome is because the food is so good.

Could that possibly be a reason LOL?

This is so weird- on my way to the office this morning, I was annoyed (as usual) by people smoking cigs as they walk down the street. It was very humid and the smoke makes the air just *that* much more disgusting.

So I started wondering about air pollution caused by smoking, and had anyone ever actually measured how many toxins from cigarettes remain in the atmosphere?...

And now, this evening, I come here and learn that yes, in Rome they have. Weird.
