Food news...

...when you ain't got nothin' else.

Test tube meat is closer to reality than I thought: "Meat grown in giant tanks known as bioreactors would cost between $5,200-$5,500 a ton (3,300 to 3,500 euros), which the analysis claims is cost competitive with European beef prices." I'm not sure if I would ever eat it, but it's not nearly as gross as the thought of eating dead animals.

Let them eat cake...or bread. It all costs the same: "What all that means is that if you think bread is already pricey, think again: it will almost certainly go higher. A loaf of Hovis Classic White, that staple of school lunchboxes, now goes for around £1, already far above what it fetched a year ago. But the company behind Hovis, Premier Foods, warned last month that it would have to raise prices again."

John McCain's favorite family recipes...lifted from the Food Network? And isn't Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Slaw just a bit...ummm, elitist?

If you want to multitask, you should eat better fuel.

For a flat belly, fill up on whole grains.

Should you drink 8 glasses of water a day? Maybe. Maybe not.

Some people like to do weird things with food, and then take pictures of it.

Watch a 20 minute preview of the movie King Corn.

People still think it's weird that you can make delicious cupcakes without eggs and dairy. Even the Washington Post is getting in on the act.

A very good source of protein is produced in bioreactors. And you all know what it is...YEAST. Yep...those little microbes. And guess what...they make all kinds of things that we use everyday. More on that later.

What's important is when they are done making whatever they are making, they are available as a source of protein...better than meat of any kind. And all you folks from the planet VAGAN can chow down. High in vitamin B, low in fat, low in carbs...good old food value. Go for it!!
