Morning, dudes. Here's the latest in guy stuff to start your week:
Call to Dump the Junk: Dr. Francesco Cappuccio, a World Health Organization adviser and health researcher at the UK's Warwick Medical School, is calling on the British government to stop food manufacturers from making and selling "unhealthy, cheap, salty junk food," according to a press release. A noble gesture, sure, but good luck separating people from their Mars bars. [University of Warwick]

More great plays including DeShone Kizer's 39-yard game winning pass to Will Fuller. http://t.co/pP9TE7Vwza pic.twitter.com/dy3d0TERx6

We Can Rebuild Him: A 54-year-old cancer patient in Spain had a cancerous tumor that was growing in his chest wall, necessitating the removal (and reconstruction) of a sizeable portion of his ribcage. So his doctors fitted him with a titanium 3D-printed ribcage and sternum, the first operation of its kind. He's reportedly doing great. [CNET]
What Retirement? (Part 2): Just a month or so removed from his final night as host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart is set to head back to Washington—but this time, he's not joking around. Stewart is set to roam the halls of Congress with roughly 100 first responders to lobby for the renewal of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act—a law he helped pass in the first place.

"No Hot Nannies": Chrissy Teigen has one rule for husband John Legend: "No hot nannies, drivers, or maids." (She did call it "an ongoing joke in my house." But still—poor John Legend.) [Billboard]
