DailyDirt: Food That's Good For You... Maybe?

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

You are what you eat, so they say. But it's not always so easy to figure out whether food is "good" or "bad" -- just look up the history of margarine. Still, everybody's gotta eat, so we might as well try to look for healthy stuff to ingest. Here are a few interesting tidbits to munch on.

• The USDA says it's possible to eat plenty of fruits and veggies on $2.50/day. Millions of peaches. Peaches for me. Millions of peaches. Peaches for free. Look out! [url]
• Make sure your dark chocolate contains flavonoids. But is dark chocolate better than a sugar pill placebo? Tastes better, if you like dark chocolate. [url]
• Growing in-vitro meat in a lab is a research project funded by PETA. Cultured meat, FTW... Yum. [url]
• To discover more food-related links, check out what's on the menu at StumbleUpon. [url]  

By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.
