Don't sweat it

Compiled by April Austin, Judy Lowe, and Sara Steindorf

"Chili heads" vie to see who can consume the fieriest peppers and salsas.

But some people don't like their food spicy. For those folks, New Mexico
State University's
Chile Pepper Institute has spent the past 10 years developing a chili
pepper without the
wallop.

The new Primavera pepper is only one-tenth as hot as a regular jalapeņo
pepper, so diners
won't have to break into a sweat to enjoy Mexican food.

Not everyone thinks this is progress. Harvard University recently awarded
the pepper an Ig
Nobel, which acknowledges research "which cannot or should not be reproduced."
