Have trouble staying on your diet? A new service called MyFoodPhone lets you send in images of your food selections to see if they meet your diet and nutritional needs. We’re guessing the No. 2 at McDonalds’ is an automatic no go. While this is a good idea to help keep you on task, it’s easy to beat (just eat and don’t phone in your meal.) We’ve got a better plan. Most phones have some sort of GPS capability. Match the person’s location to a fast food place and the claxons sound. Yeah, yeah, the big three fast food joints serve salads, but who goes there for the salad?
