DailyDirt: Not-So-Fun Food Findings...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
There are so many food choices -- but that doesn't make it any easier to eat healthy foods. Being hard-wired to enjoy sugar, salt and fat doesn't exactly help either. Diet resolutions for 2012 are just around the corner, but for now, we'll just point out a few quick links on eating food that might not be that good for you.- Comparing prison food to school cafetaria food doesn't make for a very appetizing infographic. It might be interesting to see a comparison that includes astronaut food... or military rations [url]
- Most people think that uncooked cookie dough shouldn't be eaten because of the raw eggs, but it's actually the raw flour in store-bought dough that's the likely culprit for making people sick. Seems like cookie dough manufacturers should start pasteurizing their flour since a significant number of people are intentionally eating unbaked batter. [url]
- Correlation is not the same as causation, but there seems to be a correlation between young men who eat a lot of junk food and having lower-quality sperm. In other news, unhealthy food makes you unhealthy. [url]

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Well, that confirms a stereotype.
The cookie dough story.. who would be so silly as to buy pre-made cookie dough in the first place?

For the prison meals, they forgot to list the percentage of bodily waste (urine & feces).
