The Fooducators (Fooducaties?) are decidedly of two minds about the recent study linking the Mediterranean diet to a decreased risk of heart disease. There are confounding variables that are rarely mentioned in the news coverage: the population, geography, the use of a low-fat variant on the Medi diet. But eating more fruits and veg and less red meat has to be healthy. They've also got a two-parter on the differences between junk foods sold in the US and the same junk foods formulated for the international market, and “10 Reasons to Quit Soft Drinks”. (I freely admit they haven't yet come up with a reason that overrides my helpless addiction to caffeine.)
Speaking of soft drinks, a recent study concluded that American women are getting fat because we don't do enough work around the house. Guess what? That study was funded by the Coca-Cola company. Or as Grist phrased it, “Suddenly the frantic flailing for any bull**** , sexist, non-soda-related explanation for U.S. average weight gain makes a lot more sense.” Food Politics has a comprehensive and comprehensible exploration of the European horsemeat-in-the-hamburger scandal. Summer Tomato has 9 ways to eat more mindfully, 6 things to consider before buying a juicer (including the warning that even vegetable juicing is “an incredibly efficient way to take in calories”), and “The Tastiest, Easiest, Healthiest Bean Salad on the Planet” (“This is not one of those nasty 3-bean salads your well-meaning aunt brings to barbecues”).
SuperTaster at Chow.com offers his video review of Girl Scout cookies. The “perennial classic, the Thin Mint” left him, he says, “underwhelmed: not a lot of chocolate flavor, only a little bit of mint flavor. Kind of a boring little cookie, but I did finish it. Then I finished a couple more. Then some time went by and, um, I kind of finished the sleeve.” (None of us would ever do such a thing.)
Recipes! Chow.com has an easy rice pilaf – done with white rice, but a little experimentation would make it brown-rice-compatible – and How To Make Your Own Corned Beef And Cabbage. Also homemade lemon curd, good for this time of year. Simply Recipes has chicken cacciatore, sole piccata (“with a sauce of white wine, lemon juice, capers, parsley and butter” – mmmm), and a Provençal salad of endive and anchovies. Snack Girl offers a vegetarian enchilada casserole at 6 PointsPlus per serving, affordable superfoods, how to make your morning oatmeal the night before (in the slow cooker), and a snarky review of the new Special K “Breakfast Sandwiches”.
