  • Broccoli, Pineapple, Cashew and Seitan Stir-Fry, Jasmine Rice

    Dinner 4/30

    Broccoli, Pineapple, Cashew and Seitan Stir-Fry

    Jasmine Rice

    What? A stir-fry snuck in? Looks like a couple of grilled ramps in there as well. All right, I’ll let it slide this time…

  • Hamlet on Fish in a Microwave

    This is brilliant. I once worked at a company where about half the employees microwaved fish products for lunch. If you’ve never been subjected to the ghastly smell of microwaved fish, let me just say it’s beyond your power to imagine. It’s been twenty years and that odor still haunts me.

  • Swine Flu Officially Renamed as H1N1

    Unbelievable. Taking a page from the meat industry fellators at the USDA, the World Health Organization has announced it’ll stop using the “swine flu” moniker.
    I don’t think we’ll ever see a more striking example of the meat industry causing a massive problem, then using its influence to evade blame.
    This could, however, backfire massively. [...]

  • PETA vs. Octo-Mom

    As if the whole octo-mom story couldn’t get any stranger and more troubling, PETA just decided to insert itself into the mix.
