The Telegraph newspaper reports the London Olympic stadium and village were built by many overweight workers who were involved in more accidents than the norm on the job.

Anchor Marco Werman talks to Andrew Zimmern, host of “Bizarre Foods” on the Travel Channel, about porridge and good breakfast practices around the world.
