I was watching the latest episode of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on Hulu this morning. The show continues to tell me things I already know about how badly Americans eat and how badly we feed our youth, but in a way that's genuinely moving. In any case, the commercials were... angering. They were clearly geared at people who are watching this ( Read more... )

Let's recap April so far, then.

On the first, baronmind went for a Total Party Wipe in the most convincingly awful way possible. Thankfully we'd discussed possible April Fools jokes that morning, and I realized fairly early on what was happening ( Read more... )

When buying my supply of granola for the next week or two, I picked up a bunch of Nature Valley granola bars. I usually get Kashi, but money's tight this month, what with the holidays and all, and Nature Valley is generally cheaper and--in this particular case--on sale (and therefore a lot cheaper). Each serving is about half a point more (on ( Read more... )
