DYK of the week, per Fooducate: the propellant in squirty-type whipped topping is nitrous oxide. Laughing gas, the stuff your dentist gives you.
Also from Fooducate, a take on the nutritional differences between raw and cooked broccoli. They are negligible except that one serving of cooked broccoli has only an entire RDA of Vitamin C, while the raw one has half again as much. Darya Rose at Summer Tomato has a rumination on losing weight by changing habits, rather than by using willpower. Like a muscle, she points out, willpower becomes fatigued when it's used too heavily: “Ironically, increasing your blood sugar can help restore willpower to some extent. But finding a healthy way to raise blood sugar in a state of depleted willpower can pose quite the dilemma....” Marion Nestle at Food Politics takes on the Grocery Manufacturers' Association's new front-of-package nutrition label system, “Facts Up Front”, which she regards as “the industry's end run around the FDA's long delayed attempt to make front-of-package nutrition information actually useful to consumers.” And by way of Grist, the account of two young men who lived for a week, one on strawberry licorice, the other on the Canadian version of Cheetos. Apparently Just Because They Could.
Recipes! Pickings are a bit thin at Chow.com, although Supertaster has a video review of KFC's new “Original Recipe Boneless Chicken” (or as it's been known to the rest of the world for several decades now, chicken strips), an intriguing tomatoless salsa of mangoes and jicama, a rather odd selection of “Easy Recipes for Campsite Cooking”, some of which seem to have little to do with “campsite” or for that matter “easy”. And over at Simply Recipes there's a radish salad with mint and pistachios, and baked salmon with (possibly to do with this being National Salsa Month) another tomatoless salsa, this one involving mangoes and avocado.
This second week in May is National Hamburger Week. Thank you, I will pass and wait for this Friday which is National Shrimp Day. And Saturday, the 11th, is National Eat What You Want Day – which I propose we modify to read Eat What You Want and stop when you're satisfied. And the 11th is also the Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive: postal carriers will collect non-perishable food donations, so leave those beside your mailbox. And Sunday of course is Mother's Day.
