Original Toronto Star caption: Totalling up the calories with an adding machine, Toronto Alderman Joseph Piccininni decides that, on his crash diet, breakfast is the high point of his day as he examines his three (count 'em, three) strips of bacon. No egg. No toast. But he does get an apple. At this point, he had lost about 27 pounds.
