It’s undeniable if you look at the state of modern health around the world today that we have dug ourselves into a huge hole as a society. Obesity, diabetes, and preventable chronic diseases have spread like wildfire despite the hundreds of billions of dollars invested in finding pharmaceutical drugs to allegedly counter all [...]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) this week said they wanted lawmakers to approve a bill reauthorizing child nutrition programs before the August recess.
U.S. Food Policy's coverage this Spring noted that the Lincoln bill is less ambitious than legislation the White House had proposed earlier. For example, the Senate bill includes just six cents per meal increase in the federal reimbursement to local programs for providing a sch...
I could see this becoming a really bad habit.
No, not the McFuggets. Er, McNuggets. I mean these short Just Because posts. They are oh-so-easier to write than longer “normal” product reviews.
I wonder if this is the way down – the way a semi-interesting, semi-humorous, semi-famous blog slowly sinks below the sea of Blogspots and Facebook [...]

Chelsea Clinton isn't tying the knot with her fiance Marc Mezvinsky until this weekend, but the wedding has already become the event of the year, at least by gossip-rag standards. Questions abound: Who's invited? (Hint: Not many.) What will she wear? (The smart money, as always, is on Vera Wang.) What kind of ceremony will it be, anyway? Thanks to the publicity-shy bride, there are few confirmed details. One thing's fairly certain, t...

Processed chicken nuggets, syrupy chocolate milk, heaps of salty French fries: It's no real secret that the state of American public school lunches is a mess. But things are even more depressing than you thought: Inmates - yes, actual criminals behind bars - are probably eating better than our kids.
In a recent article for the Tennessee's Herald-Tribune, reporter Tracey Hackett investigated what comes out of the kitchen at the state's Putnam County J...

According to a recent blog post on The Stir, many of the smoothies that fast-food chains are selling these days are anything but healthy.
"Even the new McDonald's Wild Berry Smoothie and comparable Jamba Juice Berry Yumberry Smoothie are just okay -- they are relatively low-cal (210 and 230 respectively) but still pack mega grams of sugar."
Head over to The Stir to see the five worst offenders and find out which smooth...
The Harris family began farming the San Joaquin Valley in 1937 and has managed to maintain its family ownership through all these years. Their beef, which is distributed all over the country and sold online, has developed a reputation for quality. I put that reputation to the test in the form of their 1/3-pound Black Angus burger in their restaurant.

It's an east-meets-west love story: tacos, Korean-style.
A different east (the Ottoman) meets a different west (London) as chef Silvena Rowe takes over the May Fair Hotel restaurant.
When you're mixing drinks, adding water doesn't always mean watered-down taste. Chemistry lesson to follow.
The Lion receives but one star -- and that's not counting chef John DeLucie.

Todd English can't stop, won't stop. Having just slapped his celebrated name on the new fancy food court in the Plaza Hotel, the chef/restaurateur is opening Ca Va, a shiny new brasserie adjacent to the new Intercontinental Times Square hotel on West 44th Street. It's also right by the new Shake Shack, so if you tire of the line you can always pop in he...

Summer means grilling season -- burgers, steaks, hot dogs, and chicken are the usual suspects. So what's a vegetarian to do? The good news is that there are lots of meat-free products on the market -- from "hot dogs" to garden burgers, even faux chicken patties. Problem is, they can vary wildly in how good they are.
We invited a few friends over, fired up the grill and taste-tested meat-free burgers and dogs. We opened up 16 p...

Popovers just sound like good-time food. Their name hints that any minute they're going to jump off the dessert plate and do a flip. And these relatives of the Yorkshire pudding are so light, doughy, and yet crispy on the outside, they probably could do a few pirouettes if given half a chance. However, the popover is made even more of a good-time Charlie when you add a coconut cream filling, put a dollop on the crown, and add a ...

Right, so where were we on the whole "History of Candy" thing? Oh, yes. Right. Sugar cane had been domesticated in New Guinea, and through trading routes and human migration, it ended up in what is present day India. This would be around 500 BC or so.
So how did we get from the sugar cane to granulated sugar? This is where we start getting some evidence of what people were eating, and we can actually point at written records and say "hey, look at what they were talking about."
With sugar, the ...

It's a slow summer in the cereal world, which allows opportunity to reflect far too long on relatively meaningless developments. For example, in Indonesia this past weekend a new record was broken where 2,274 people cereal together for the first time. Exciting, eh? What other cereal eating records should people be attempting? Maybe we need something like the annual hot dog eating championship every July 4th: Crazed contestants forcing down bowls of Froot Loops, or maybe All-Bran? I think the...
In his most well-written review to date, Times dining critic Sam Sifton files a nuanced one star review on The Lion, a see-and-be-seen restaurant from chef John DeLucie, formerly of the Waverly Inn. This place is so disgustingly fashionable you might assume the food's an afterthought, but Sifton says DeLucie's still got it, and the critic has a fine time despite "a shouty crowd with corkscrew necks looking to see who will be next into the dining room, who next on the st...
