The Colbert Report Thought For Food – Cereal, Foot-Long Cheeseburger & Ecobot III www.colbertnation.com Colbert Report Full Episodes Thank God for Pop-Tarts. If it wasn’t for these little sugar-laden “breakfast” cookies, researchers might still be scratching their heads to understand why practically every child is being diagnosed with ADHD. Pop-Tarts has proven the hypothesis that feeding a child synthetic food products consisting of only sugar and food dyes can contribute to behavioral and [...]
After finishing my academic *stuff* on Wednesday, I was left with a strange void and question in my mind… “What now?!” The feeling was too much for me So, I went back to my second home (my MAC) and stumbled across a contest for the OWN Network. I was stoked to see [...] Remember Dr. Lustig from the sugar lecture I posted earlier? Well, Stephen Colbert has now nicknamed him “Dr. Buzzkill.” I love it. Watch the video below for more ironies of our American food culture: The Colbert Report Thought for Food – Corn Diapers, Fatty Foods & Jamie Oliver www.colbertnation.com Colbert Report Full Episodes I am so hooked on these Zico drinks. They are especially enjoyable after a heated yoga class. Or while laying on a beach somewhere… The best part about Zico is the nutrition label; basically just some coconut water and fruit (in the flavored ones). Zico also offers electrolytes, a potassium boost and has low-acidity. Compare [...] A friend led me to a very interesting lecture about sugar… and I’m not gonna lie, it’s hard to watch– it will make you question what you’re eating.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend about the cutting of music, art and physical education in schools. We started to talk about what we remembered in grades K-12… I remember paper-macheing my face in [...] There’s a new documentary about bananas. Well, more like conspiracy-deadly-fraudulent bananas. Here’s the quick summary: “In the film BANANAS!*, twelve Nicaraguan banana plantation workers are suing Dole for concealing the dangers of a pesticide that they claim made them sterile.” Check out the trailer for the film:
The chemical pesticide used [...] Ugh. I’m so sick of fast food chains creating their own diet plans. Move over Subway diet, get out the way McDiet, Taco Bell’s “Drive-Thru Diet” is here to spout some nonsensical, exaggerated weight loss B.S.:
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good burrito. But, when a company comes out [...] This is a pretty good list of not-so-healthy foods: Canned tomatoes, Corn-fed beef, Microwave popcorn, Conventional potatoes, Farmed salmon, Milk produced with artificial hormones and Conventional apples. Read the full article explaining why these foods have been called out and how you can make healthier choices. Any other foods you think should be added to the [...] I’m supposed to be writing a paper… thankfully, it’s my last for the semester. But instead of being productive, I’m laughing hysterically (and all by myself) to vegetables and other foodstuffs explain the importance of organics while dressed as Star Wars characters. And yes, they definitely have lightsabers.
This is a pretty entertaining article: “The 6 Weirdest, Scariest Processed Foods.” The article hits spray-can cheese, oreo cookie filling, condensed soup, spam, artificial blueberries and avocado-free guacamole (my personal fave).

The toxic leak killed more than 3,800 people instantly and an estimated 20,000 in the months and years since. Read more about the disaster here. And a more recent [...]
The new chocolate drinks from Caribou Coffee are flavored with all-natural Guittard chocolate– and lots of it. I’m loving the focus on all-natural, but are these drinks really any healthier than the previous ones?
