chain 1The schnozberries taste like schnozberries, and the blueberries taste like… synthetic approximations of sweetened fruit crunchlets. This won’t come as a surprise to most of you, but Natural News reveals just how few blueberries go into blueberry food products.

Speaking of fake foods… Poor Taco Bell just wants to bring affordable, healthy meat-flavored blends to the American masses. And yet, a Montgomery law firm is suing them, claiming their “beef” isn’t really beef at all. Taco Bell should have heeded my advice!

Good news for barefooters, Vibrams is finally coming out with a line of winter wear! What say you? Like? Dislike?

Golfers exercise too, or so says Ben Crane.

The “Caveman Diet” made ABC’s list of celebrity fad diets this year! Apparently Megan Fox is into evolutionary health? Citation needed. Head over to Hunter-Gatherer for a little analysis on the “Paleo Fad.”

DiGiorno does America a favor and produces a frozen pizza/frozen cookie combo. But where are the french fries, DiGiorno? You almost scored a trifecta!

And finally, do nothing for two minutes.

Imagine you’re George Clooney. Take a moment to admire your grooming and wit. Okay, now imagine someone walks up to you and asks, “What’s your name?” You say, “I’m George Clooney.” Or maybe you say, “I’m the Clooninator!” You don’t say “I’m George of George Clooney Sells Movies Blog” and you certainly don’t say, “I’m Clooney Weight Loss Plan”. So while spam is technically meat, it ain’t anywhere near Primal. Please nickname yourself something your friends would call you.

  3. Dude! I had no idea Vibram was previewing a cold weather line. That rocks! I am counting the days until I can wear my V-5s again – even though we have had a mild winter so far in Boulder, I like toasty toes. I am already saving my pennies for some V-boots! =)

  5. I love that Ben Crane vid, he has another video about his pre round routine which is just as funny.

  6. YES!!!!! Winter Vibrams! I’ve been dreaming of these. It’s a bit cold up here in Canada and I miss my Vibes!! YAY.

  7. How much real food do you expect out of a $.79 taco, anyway? The lettuce might count as real food.

    Save the outrage for if a steak house starts replacing parts of the meat with filler.

  8. I kind of like the winter Vibrams. Imagine how many times a day you will be stopped to explain your feet.

  9. The winter vff. I think they need to stop before they take it too far and things get even uglier.

  10. I don´t know-I don´t think five fingers are any better than Converse all-stars.

  11. I’m in agreeance with the glove vs mittens gang. I have some Sanuk booties that I like… & since it was -40 here today, it’s sorels & smartwool! Then change into the Nike Frees in the office. I think because of my bunions the VFFs will never fit me comfortably.
    As to Taco Bell, I agree with the article commenter that it’s just another frivolous lawsuit that consumers will pay for. It’s fast “food” people – the cattle aren’t raised out back

  12. Those Vibram winter things have to be the ugliest shoes in the shoe kingdom. absolute hideousness! Also, it appears as though they are getting farther away from what the original shoe was meant for and how they actually work, but who can blame someone for wanting to make an extra buck
