Not all trans fats are created equal
In light of the recent news about bacon, sausage, preserved and cured meat, and red meat …
For decades, it was EGGS ARE BAD AND THEY’RE GOING TO KILL YOU EAT ONE, MAYBE TWO A WEEK MAX.
And my name isn’t even Max.
Now, it’s * oh maybe we were not exactly 100% accurate on that and you can eat eggs in moderation *
Same with butter. BUTTER IS BAD AND IT’S GOING TO KILL YOU. EAT MARGARINE. Then it was DON’T EAT MARGARINE OH GOD NO THOSE TRANSFATS OH THE HUMANITY.
FAT IS BAD. EXCEPT, THEY’RE SUBBING SUGAR AND CORN SYRUP IN. OK MAYBE SOME FATS AREN’T AS BAD AS THE SUBSTITUTES.
Transfats are still on the bad list. At the moment. Except, as it turns out, not all transfats are equally risky…
Maggie Stiefvater improves your life
Here is a way to improve your life: Everywhere you see the word “margarine,” replace it with “butter.”
– Maggie Stiefvater, on Twitter
Everywhere you see the word “low fat,” apply judicious strikethrough to the letters L and O and W.
Also, I give you full permission to compare the nutrition facts of your granola bar with cookies and forevermore eat cookies for breakfast.
Don’t threaten ME, Major Burger Chain
“If you miss out, you’ll never know how delicious 100% sirloin tastes.”
This is the claim a Major Burger Chain is making in its current ad. But that sounds like a hostage threat to me.
What I want to know is, how are they going to pull this off? It’s actually kind of a grandiose claim unless they have some nefarious plan to deny the rest of the world 100% sirloin after the Major Burger Chain’s limited time promotion is over.
Hey, wait. I’m thinking, new Austin Powers movie. Austen Powers versus the Sirloin Monopoly. An evil megalomaniac holds the world’s supply of sirloin hostage unless his demands are met?

If you go to Turkey Hill for ice cream, do you go to Ice Cream Hill for turkeys?
Takeout
I now want to write a Liam Neeson thriller called TAKEOUT.
Bryan: I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. You haven’t placed your order yet. If you are looking for haute cuisine, I can tell you I don’t have it. But what I do have are a very particular set of containers, containers I have acquired over a very long career. Containers that will get food safely to people like you. If you place your order now, that’ll be the end of it until you hear the knock on your door. The delivery boy will look for you, he will find you, and he will expect a reasonable tip.
Autocorrect, reimagined
I am now imagining an Autocorrect for life itself.
Autocorrect: “Skip the clam chowder. Order the crème brûlée.”
BLT
Bacon.
Lettuce.
Tomato.
Mayo.
Whole wheat.
Salt.
Pepper.
Bliss.
Suddenly… SALAD!
I went to the store today and on the shelves was a product called Suddenly Salad.
I don’t know if I like the sound of that. It could be apocalyptic.
I am imagining the bloody, stunned survivors. They never saw it coming. They never suspected a thing.
“I was just standing there, minding my own business, and then.. suddenly, salad! Salad everywhere! Tossed, chopped! Smothered in croutons! Oh, the greenery!”
Expiration date cooking
Maybe I will have a theme party for New Years Eve. The theme would be every food in the house with a 2013 expiration date. This could make for some interesting combinations.
