What we’re reading today:
1. A Swedish study found that newborn babies whose umbilical cords were cut three minutes after they were born instead of right away were less likely to be iron deficient.
2. Some Toronto kids in the Jane-and-Finch-area are trying out squash (the sport) after-school. Awesome. When one of those kids comes to dominate the international squash scene in 10 years or so, we expect a fabulous made-for-CBC movie.
3. KJ Dellantonia at the NYT Motherlode is not down with the new Best Buy ads that mock Santa Claus. We know!! Yeah, we get that some seasonal ads are meant to tug on your heartstrings and some are less subtle in making you buy stuff, but the Best Buy ones are gross. We think we need to write more on this later, but for now, we’re happy that KJ is sticking up for the man in the red suit.
