5 unbeaten eating challenges
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
For many people, the word eating challenge evokes the iconic scene in the movie "The Great Outdoors,"when John Candy tackles "The Old 96er" to the chagrin of his digestive tract. More recently, the Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" show has popularized eating challenges, which have increasingly become a strategy for restaurants across the country to make a name for themselves, draw in new customers, and simply have fun. For those testing their fortitude through eating challenges, clearing a plate of outrageously large or spicy meals will often win them a T-shirt, their photo on the wall, and dinner on the...

Berlin Restaurant Caters to Modern Cavemen
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
No cheese, bread or sugar are available at a recently opened Berlin eatery. In fact, guests are served dishes made only of ingredients that would have been available to their hunter-gatherer ancestors. The Stone Age fare is prepared by adherents of the Paleolithic movement, who say their restaurant is the first of its kind in Europe. The restaurant menu shows a stereotypical image of modern humanity's forbearer, the jutting profile of a hirsute caveman. Inside, diners eat at candle-lit tables with a contemporary cave painting hanging in the background. These hints aside, Berlin's Sauvage restaurant looks similar to many of...

Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's decision to stay out of the Republican presidential race means that the American people will be spared months of discussion about his ample waistline and the bad example it sets.

Below, a helping of skepticism about the causes of Americans' poor eating habits - and the efficacy of political fixes. 5 myths of healthy eating...

Michelle's "Diet"
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
Does Michelle Obama really over-satiate herself on adipose-inducing feasts while lecturing kids to clean up their diets? Yes, according to the most scientific study to date. Obviously intending to counter Michelle’s critics, food writer Marian Burros, working for POLITICO, treated herself to lunch and/or dinner at “the 33 or more restaurants in the Washington area” where Michelle has grazed in Washington since her husband took office.

MetMom Serious Prayer Need--EATING threatened [Update @560]
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
Metmom has had allergies and food allergies her entire life. In the last few years they have gotten steadily and progressively worse. Foods have been dropping out of her diet until she reached the point she is at now and can only eat rice, chicken, lamb, and venison. Anything else causes her to react rather destructively, debilitatingly. The problem is that the repeated continual exposure to the few remaining foods, could lead to a sensitivity to those as well, which has just happened to two foods she had been safely eating since October. There are options for nutrition should...

Eating less meat won't reduce global warming: study
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Eating less meat will not reduce global warming, and claims that it will distract from efforts to find real solutions to climate change, a leading air quality expert said Monday. "We certainly can reduce our greenhouse gas production, but not by consuming less meat and milk," Frank Mitloehner, an air quality expert at the University of California-Davis, said as he presented a report on meat-eating and climate change at a conference of the American Chemical Society in California. Blaming cows and pigs for climate change is scientifically inaccurate, said Mitloehner, dismissing several reports, including one issued in...

Buy Agricultural Food Stocks Then...Just Start Eating
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
During the great recession here have been ups and downs, ins and outs, tons of tears and very little rejoicing. At some point we've all been on the wrong side of a trade, seen the damage of broad company layoffs, had our 401k's destroyed, or have harbored deep ill feelings towards at least one (or more) government announcements. At times such as these the emotions connected with our dire and depressing circumstances can become overwhelming. So rather than being held down by circumstances that we cannot possibly control, what can we do about it? When considering this and the oppressive...

Scientists find bugs that eat waste and excrete petrol
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
Silicon Valley is experimenting with bacteria that have been genetically altered to provide 'renewable petroleum'. “Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,” says Greg Pal, 33, a former software executive, as he squints into the late afternoon Californian sun. “I mean, this is essentially agriculture, right? But the people I talk to – especially the ones coming out of business school – this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into.........”

ust the cricket: Eating insects is good for us and for the environment, scientists claim
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
Experts believe they could one day be marketed as a healthy alternative to fatty snacks. In most of Europe, bug-eating is largely restricted to the belated realisation that there has been an unwelcome addition to the salad. It is common elsewhere, however, with some 1,700 species of bug eaten in 113 countries. In Taiwan, stir-fried crickets or sauteed caterpillars are delicacies. A plate of maguey worms - larvae of a giant butterfly - sells for £12.50 in smart Mexican restaurants. Sago grubs wrapped in banana leaves go down well in Papua New Guinea, as does dragonfly in Bali.

'He's eating my brain. I can feel it,' recalls bear attack survivor
Posted by admin / Under Eating Disorder
A 53-year-old man in Saanich, B.C., managed to drive to safety after a grizzly bear mauled his head and tossed him to the ground in the woods near Bella Coola, about 700 kilometres north of Vancouver. The attack took place on May 3 when Brent Case was on a surveying job along the rugged Central Coast area. "He came up from behind me and started gnawing at the back of my head. It just started ripping the scalp off the head," Case told CBC News on Friday. "The pain was so excruciating that I don't know why I didn't yell...
