Microbreweries attract women — from production to consumption
“I really think there are more women drinking craft beer because it’s not just bland and tasteless, and it goes with food better than wine goes with food,” said Anita Johnson, owner of Great Fermentations, the area’s largest home-brewing supply store. “Any female who says they don’t like beer, it’s a challenge to me.”
The new menu will cater to people who are “interested in new tastes and textures,” which makes me wonder what Taco Bell’s current customers are interested in.
Taco Bell is currently selling beef that’s 65% “filler”.
The End of Cheap Coffee: Why the Diner Staple Is About to Become a Luxury
“It’s interesting to me that the same consumer that will go to 7-11 and buy a bottle of Fiji Water for five dollars will go crazy and complain about a cup of coffee,” says Geoff Watts, Intelligentsia’s vice president and green (unroasted, that is) coffee buyer. “This is a meticulously grown agricultural product from halfway around the world that was hand-harvested, hand-picked, and roasted and brewed…”
15 Food Companies that Serve You ‘Wood’
He said cellulose is common in processed foods, often labeled as reduced-fat or high-fiber – products like breads, pancakes, crackers, pizza crusts, muffins, scrambled eggs, mashed potato mixes, and even cheesecake. Inman himself keeps a box of Wheat Thins Fiber Selects crackers, manufactured by Kraft Foods Nabisco brand, at his desk, and snacks on them daily, clearly unmoved by the use of wood pulp in its ingredients.
Read on for a list of General Mills, Kraft, Kellog, and fast food products containing wood pulp.
The goal this week is to build a better Big Mac by taking that great concept and fixing up everything that’s wrong with it. There’s certainly no shortage of Big Mac clones on the internet, but, in my humble opinion, every single one I’ve seen misses the boat, opting for larger patties or other such “improvements” that only really serve to throw off the proportions of a perfectly conceived sandwich.
The Fetishization of Unhealthiness:
Apparently concern for one’s health has become so mainstream that gratuitous disregard for it has become hip and counter-cultural.
Please note: I am not simply making the observation that many Americans have disgustingly unhealthy eating habits. Rather, I find that such diets have become almost chic. Last weekend, for example, I was with some friends at a pub (which shall remain nameless) whose menu included such delicacies as Spam Bites (deep-fried spam and cream cheese), Deep-Fried Pickles and Pie Bites (deep-fried bits of pie).

Bacon seems to be the icon of this counter-revolution.
Kole Ross:
If you want to lose weight, a good plan is to subsist entirely on rice, beans, vegetables, and whatever meat goes on sale.
Basically, you want to eat like a poor person, in the days where $1 double cheeseburgers didn’t exist.
I’ve been doing this for two months now. As of today, I’m 19 pounds down, and wearing the jeans I wore in high school.
As Kole and I discovered earlier this summer, we both picked time frame to lose weight using the same method, without knowing of eachother’s plans. And we’ve each gotten about the same results too.
I would say that this is pretty accurate. As dumb as it sounds, I think it all comes down to “eat good stuff.” You don’t have to go extreme or start eating all organic… just stick to foods where you can pronounce all the ingredients, pack lunches instead of getting fast food, and try to mix in more whole grains and leaner meats. Eating five small meals instead of three big ones has been really helpful, but also really hard to stick with since I’m at work all day.
Alert: Crunchberries Are Not Real Berries
Late last month, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she’d been buying Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries cereal for four years under the assumption that crunchberries are a real berry. “The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, alleged that she had only recently learned to her dismay that said ‘berries’ were in fact simply brightly-colored cereal balls.”
