Who’s crazy now?

Sometimes I wonder if I lost my mind along with those 50 pounds. Then Jenn tells me about the conversation she just had and I realize it’s everybody else that’s nuts.
I’m getting tired of telling the truth. People look at me like I just sprouted a horn.
Will eating red meat kill you? (Hint: No)
So there’s another study out that supposedly shows eating read meat will kill you. Specifically:
Red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of total, CVD,[cardiovascular disease] and cancer mortality. Substitution of other healthy protein sources for red meat is associated with a lower mortality risk.
I’ll save you some time and admit that, because I think their conclusion is wrong, I’m assuming there are problems in the study design and methodology. Let’s look at it and see if I’m right. [Read more…]
I dare you to say that to my face

If you’ve spent any time on the internet, you’ve discovered some people can get a bit … testy when they feel anonymous. There’s a name for it, but I try to stay PG-13, so you’re going to have to follow that link if you’re interested. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
Before the internet, this type of behavior was mostly confined to road rage. There was no audience of cheering morons, but even the sweetest granny can turn into a finger-flipping, foul-mouthed hellbeast behind the wheel.
It turns out some people don’t need anonymity to be a complete tool. They just need to think the people they’re talking about can’t hear them.
What’s this got to do with food?

Photo by Petras Gagilas
In the history of the world three stupid decisions stand out as the most obviously stupid:
- New Coke
- Invading Russia in winter
- Telling your wife she needs to lose weight
Don’t believe me? Next time your wife asks, “Do these jeans make my ass look fat?” tell her, “No, honey. That half a cheesecake you had for lunch makes your ass look fat.”

Vegetarians are full of crap

What do you get when you take a stand-up comic with a sarcastic streak and a libertarian outlook, mix in a background in math and hard science, and top with a penchant for debunking junk science for fun?
You get Tom Naughton, the brains behind Fat Head: You’ve been fed a load of bologna, a documentary response to Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me
Fat Head showed that Spurlock got the science of diet and health mostly wrong, and to prove the point Naughton went on an all-fast-food diet and lost weight, improved his blood work, and boosted his energy.
Vegetarians hate that
How To Make Low-carb Kabobs Indoors
When it’s grilling weather, beef kabobs are a great, quick dinner. But sometimes it’s raining. Then of course there’s that 8-month Cleveland winter, where you don’t want to be outside if you can help it. (Okay, fine, I’m exaggerating. A little.)
For the bad weather days, this variation is just as quick, and just (about) as good.
