Is It Safe To Eat Genetically Modified Animals?
Ever hear of FRANKENFISH? Apparently genes from eels are being imported into the salmon genome to produce a faster growing kind of salmon which will soon be hitting supermarket shelves across the country!

If it tastes good I'll most likely eat it. I may eventually regret it, but tasty food is hard to resist. I really don't understand the science behind all this genetic modification stuff, but I know the FDA is pretty strict about what they allow into the food supply. I'm not going to go so far as to say that I trust the government, but on this particular issue I feel reasonably confident that the FDA wouldn't allow this kind of genetic alteration if it were harmful or dangerous.

Does the FDA consider almonds 'unhealthy'? :shrug:
Food may be weird, but some of the rules pertaining to food are even weirder!

If you are offended by words such as ass, fuck, or bullshit, then this cookbook is not for you. In other words, people who are stupid, retarded assholes probably didn't think this video was very funny! Hahahahahaha!!!

Is Lettuce Worse For the Environment Than Bacon?
This is like an exhibition of fallacious reasoning. The value in lettuce is not that it provides calories, but that it provides roughage for the diet. Also transportation issues can be resolved independently of other factors and vary greatly depending on circumstances. Further there are many types of lettuce and they are not all the same. On top of that there are the health costs associated with different types of diets. So, what we're left with is amateur newscasters bending over backwards, performing mental gymnastics in order to warp reality with the sole goal of producing a provocative headline and pseudo-intellectual discussion of something they know nothing about.

How Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen
This guy named Momofuku Ando wasn't a chef, but that didn't stop him from playing with food and starting what might be considered to be a food revolution.

EXPOSED: Coca-Cola’s Scam To Keep Kids Drinking Soda
High fructose corn syrup is considered to be the worst source of calories by TYTs. They talk some about how corn subsidies have made it abundant and cheap and how that's been a key cause of obesity. I think they're incorrect on a lot of what they say about diet and exercise. For instance, I'm pretty sure that saturated fat is worse for people than is fructose and certainly the combination of saturated fat and fructose would be extremely unhealthy.
