School lunch meat vs. Taco Bell meat and the winner is… Taco Bell? USA Today discusses the abysmal health standards of grade school nutrition.
You may have heard of a banana hammock, but I suggest the simpler, more effective banana bag.
A few weeks ago I wrote a post on diet as dogma. Free the Animal says there’s nothing authoritative or dogmatic about Primal living, and he’s right.
Last year Crocs were all the rage at mall kiosks. This year it’s shoes that give you a workout. The NY Times separates the truth from the trash when it comes to butt firming brands like EasyTones and FitFlops. As a side note, I know the old marketing adage “sex sells,” but EasyTone’s ad campaign looks like it was designed by Larry Flint.
Grains aren’t good for you. Nourished Kitchen has published 10 reasons to give them up.

Comment of the Week
It’s all about correlation vs. causation.
I have good anecdotal evidence suggesting a strong correlation between shopping in Costco and Type 2 diabetes. It can be concluded that, therefore, frequenting the grounds of the store produces a strong sustained insulin spike in its customers.

“dawn” your trench coat? Is that a pun I’m not getting?
Lots of great links here! Always post them to my facebook page.
And I kinda sorta really want a banana hammock…
Fixed! thought it was a joke…it made me read the article twice though
Any Australians that show up here are going to be really amused by the “banana hammock” reference. Threw me off for a second before I remembered that it means something much different in the States!
Kara, I’m pretty sure it means the same thing here. I was surprised by that link myself.
For those interested in sous vide, I posted a detailed report on my week of experimental cooking in the Sous Vide Supreme here:

Kind of surprised that that article didn’t mention the opioid effect of grains. In any case, there’s another reason not to eat them, as if you needed any.
I know it’s tough to be shocked by advertising these days, but I was definitely pretty taken aback the first time I saw one of those Easytone commercials on TV…
I think the banana hammock product (which is, indeed, a hammock for storing bananas) is a play on the slang term for Borat-style speedos. Heh.
Woh – they needed to pay a little more attention to the womans reflection in the glass on the Easytone site.
Insert “Lipid Leggin” story here when talking about raw milk (amongst other sins!)
