Today's canned frosting is really in a very sad state-it's fake-tasting chocolate whipped into something resembling Crisco with imitation coffee creamer

and corn syrup added-And about half air. My mother made frosting with real Hershey's cocoa real cow's butter real sugar real vanilla and a pinch of salt.

Then she heated it to the perfect consistency (which I have never been able to duplicate) to form a slightly hard shell with a firm fudge-like center after it cooled

which had an UNBELIEVABLE taste. Scraping the pan took almost an hour-The frosting quickly set up to a hard coating on the pan yet scraping it with a spoon turned the top micro-inch into a little curled up fluffy flaky taste sensation.

and bees are feed sweet substitutes like corn syrup. Wenfu Mao and colleagues found three compounds in honey that increase the expression of a gene that helps bees metabolize pesticides.

So honey substitutes like high-fructose corn syrup may compromise their health. Scientists knew pollen ingestion helps bee health

We're feeding bees high fructose corn syrup? Who are the geniuses who know this already

The only thing better then bacon is wild bacon...Hmmmm@Biscuits I think some southern States already have bounties in place.

The fact is hunting wild pig can be difficult and dangerous...and the cost/availability of ammo doesn't help. 1) Request a truckload of US Marine snipers to set up in any county of your choosing you won't know they're even there.

They only sign of them ever being there is a zone free of pig and a faint scent of bacon.

Wild pig meat is popoular in Europe and pepole pay extra for it. So what it they are smarter than deer.

That is a worthwhile use of your timethey're yummy and the price for their meat is higher than for beef.

Anything that make grub worms a staple of their diet is not going to taste good this is why people don't hunt them very often they taste terrible the hide is useless they really don't look all that good stuffed on a hunters wall there is really very little insentive to hunt them.

Cheaper double-bacon cheeseburgers than the others by virtue of lower shipping and delivery costs as well as cutting out those expensive meatpacking facilities and that whole pesky USDA/FDA thing.

if these wild pigs have been unto acorns in their diet while free-roaming they should taste good--provided they be gutted asap once killed. a trip in southern Spain exposed

@Auroria The sugar comment has no place here. If this was a dietary article or one on diabetes or obesity it would fit but not here.

However the culprit was excess sugar and sodium intake combined with obesity; from a life time of eating processed foods!

Auroria I agree that sugar is a drug and that is extremely unhealthy (I avoid it).

That being said there are healthier methods of ingestion such as vaporizing tinctures and edibles. Those methods still can't yield a toxic response

You would die without sugar. Truth be told your body will start to make its own sugar

if you don't supply it (gluconeogenesis). Perhaps you should do a tad more research than just popular press--do some reading of primary sources.

I agree very much about sugar. People concentrate on illegal drugs when legal drugs kill many times more.

The diet encourages ovaries to develop and produces a new queen who will spend her days laying thousands of genetically similar eggs.

They clean wax cells for the queen's eggs and feed the larvae honey and pollen.

and they switch to foraging for pollen nectar and water outside the hive using the sun as their compass.

The Robotic Chicken Butcherif you've ever wondered how boneless chicken parts end up that way take a peek inside one of the 4000

The job of chicken deboner (who cuts through the shoulder joint to separate the wing from the body) is particularly brutal

No two chickens are the same and each cut must be perfect. If a robot splinters a bone it contaminates the meat.

If it leaves too much flesh behind it costs its owner money. Later this year a team from the Geor gia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta will put the finishing touches on an autonomous robotic chicken butcher.

and dexterity to debone a bird in four seconds flat on par with a human butcher. 1) Queue Gutted whole chickens sit on metal cones as they travel along a conveyor belt

Equipped with a 3-D map of the incoming chicken the robots calculate a cutting trajectory accurate to within three millimeters.

Fortunately the body proportions of a chicken adhere to quantifiable standards. So by calculating the dimensions of one body region the machines can deduce the dimensions of all the other body parts. 4) Slice To remove the wings from the breast meat the robotic arms slice into the chicken with a knife at the collarbone move toward the shoulder cut through the shoulder joint

and continue down the bird's backside along the shoulder blade all in two seconds. 5) Repeat Nine billion times a year.

and can discern between meat tendons and ligaments. The big challenge is teaching the robot to adjust its behavior in real time to account for all the variation in different birds says Ai-Ping Hu senior research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

Brain (Not shown in illustration) To help the robot calculate the cutting path algorithms compare 3-D maps of each chicken to a database of dozens of different body types.

Dry cereal-based pet foods caught on during WORLD WAR II when tin rationing put a stop to canning.

As a satisfied Spratt's Patent Cat food customer of yesteryear put it the little biscuits were both handy and cleanly.

To meet nutritional requirements pet food manufacturers blend animal fats and meals with soy and wheat grains and vitamins and minerals.

AFB designs powdered flavor coatings for the edible extruded shapes. Moeller came to AFB from Frito-Lay where his job was to design well powdered flavor coatings for edible extruded shapes.

There are he says a lot of parallels. Cheetos without the powdered coating have almost no flavor. Likewise the sauces in processed convenience meals are basically palatants for humans.

The cooking process for the chicken in a microwaveable entrã Â e imparts a mild to nonexistent flavor.

The flavor comes almost entirely from the sauce by design. Says Moeller You want a common base that you can put two

or three or more different sauces on and have a full product line. Pet foods come in a variety of flavors

because that's what humans like and we assume our pets like what we like.

Given the ultimate consumers are pets at home it makes more sense to taste test to pooches with the diet and lifestyle of a pet rather than lab animal.

Which Came First, The Chicken Or The Egg? Chickens as a species became chickens through a long slow process of evolution.

At some point a chicken-like bird produced an offspring that due to some mutation in its DNA crossed the threshold from mere chicken likeness into chicken actuality.

That is to say a proto-chicken gave birth to a real-life official chicken. And since that real-life official chicken came out of its own egg we can say that the egg came first.

Another way to look at the question would be to ask which came first in evolutionary history.

Once again the egg takes precedence. Many characteristics of the modern avian egg namely an oblong asymmetrical shape and a hardened shell were in place before birds diverged from dinosaurs about 150 million years ago.

A lot of the traits that we see in bird eggs evolved prior to birds in theropod dinosaurs says Darla Zelenitsky of the University of Calgary.

Another key moment in the history of avian eggs occurred at least 150 million years before that

when a subset of four-limbed vertebrates evolved to produce amniotic eggs. The embryos within the eggs were surrounded by three fluid-filled membranes that provide nourishment protection

and a way to breathe. The earliest amniotic eggs contained large amounts of yolk says James R. Stewart a reproductive physiologist at East Tennessee State university.

You still see that in birds crocodilians and snakes he explains. Like other placental mammals we humans lost our yolk somewhere along the line

but our eggs still come with a vestigial yolk sac. Have a burning science question you'd like to see answered in our FYI section?

Email it to fyi@popsci. com. umm well then...shall I press on and ask Which came first the dinosaur or the egg?

Lets see if you can answer that. The genetic mechanism is the same for all life.

Sovereign individuals not governmentsbut before it was hatched that egg was a probabilistic uncertainty. So before hatching probability would tell you that egg hosts that protochicken and not the modern version.

Yes there us a chance of a mutation into a chicken but there is also a chance it mutates unto a dinosaur.

Small but there. The probability function only collapses once the chicken is out of the egg.

The question that concerns me more is did where the first chicken find its rooster? Chickens as a species became chickens through a long slow process of evolution.

At some point a chicken-like bird produced an offspring that due to some mutation in its DNA crossed the threshold from mere chicken likeness into chicken actuality.

Sounds more like part of creed than a scientific argument.''And the bird made chicken walked among the avians who knew it not'is a much more poetic way of saying the same darn thing.

You know unless evolution took a rib next that first chicken would have had to reproduce with something other than a chicken.

It all stays on the same branch unless that chicken finds a way to make two chickens.

Another way to look at it...would be created that God the chicken first. Oh but that's not as scientific as saying a long time ago in a primordial pool far far away...

Its cute but I would much rather hear about the science. I remember reading something about OC-17 being produced by the chicken to help form the egg shell.

That is a far more interesting conversation than corpus gallinaceo. What came first POPSCI the website or the writers for POPSCI lol.

Oh and for as the chicken and egg question Life came first and multiplied. But what IS a chicken?

Since all life is constantly in a state of becoming or changing then all chickens are distinct individuals

and cannot be grouped for the purpose of this question. Each chicken from the first to the last is an individual.

So we see that a chicken came from an egg in each instance. Therefore an egg always comes before a chickeni watched a youtube video of Chris Langan answering this quesion the same waykillert

-I think youre wrong. The chicken one way or another can be grouped within a spectrum of dna.

So even if one chicken species varies from another there is a point in their evolution that we can say this is now a chicken.

And that change would have occurred-most likely in the embryo. Its like saying a tree falling in the forest doesnt make a sound

because a sound should be defined as a sound wave being observed which is just arguing semantics. Now it is possible that the egg wasnt genetically changed as an embryo to make it the chicken

and that a pre-chicken bird was changed genetically enviromentally to the point where it entered that spectrum of chicken dna.

IE: maybe it was really close to a chicken but had 2x more feathers and of a different color and 3 feet but enviromental changes caused the chicken to mutate as such to become within the spectrum of chicken dna.

Nooneyouknow Why do you say the chicken has to reproduce with something other than a chicken?

Why couldn't it have siblings cousins parents etc that it could mate with? All that is needed is for the more chicken like birds to out-breed the rest over generations

and presto you have a new species. The truth is all of the above contributed to the chicken.

Domesticated birds were interbred with wild birds to create a new species called chicken. So God did not create chickens.

People and horny birds did. Goo came first then life came from goo and then for

what ever other reason can replication of same said life else you have just orginal new life again in wide varieties then dies

Sorry but an embryo is not a chicken. So the egg still comes first. lol Just imagine

if all life was created they must all have been alive on earth at the same time and have been dying off rapidly ever since.

What a mess good thing the Earth's climate will only support a fraction of them at any given time

@Killert Why do you say the chicken has to reproduce with something other than a chicken?*

*Breath*Because the FIRST chicken would be the ONLY chicken in existence until you had a SECOND chicken.

Now chances are this chicken is either too horny or too short lived to wait for another chicken to evolve

so its going to have to settle with a member of another already existing species. This is an unavoidable roadblock for evolution this new bird's genetic material is added merely to that of an existing species where evolution requires it branches off on it's own.

If a chicken-like species reproduced over millions of years and became chicken proper that still wouldn't be evolution.

Further more if reproduction had anything to do with it then more rapidly reproducing species like rabbits should have outpaces us long ago

Rabbits as far as we can tell have always been rabbits. Some species such as beavers we know for a fact have not changed for millions of years.

Chickens lay chicken eggs. Fish lay fish eggs (if you can call it laying) so wouldn't neanderchickens lay neanderchicken eggs?

This is the problem with evolution (or the problem with our way of dividing species). At some point neanderchicken will have to lay a chicken egg

or a a chicken will have to hatch from a neanderchicken egg. Both seem kinda funky. And as was pointed out above by someone

I don't know once the first chicken hatched it would have to mate with a neanderchicken

which wouldn't result in a new species just a neanderchicken with chicken traits. Anyway my point is that the chicken would have to come first

since the egg whence it hatches wouldn't be a chicken egg by virtue of not being laid by a chicken.@

@Nooneyouknow You seem to be ignoring that we DO know what species chickens come from

because we can check their DNA and we can do the same for any creature.

They came from other chicken like species and those older species are still here along side the new chickens.

So evolution has been observed in many cases. Keep in mind that chickens are only one example. There is nothing to stop a mutation resulting in twin unicorns for example who are able to mate with each other

and instantly start a new species. Its far fetched but DNA makes it possible. As for variation's why jump to rabbits?

I doubt you could even tell the difference between chickens and their similar non-closely unrelated cousins.

Betting on DNA to NOT evolve is worse than your odds of winning the lottery.

You just cant win. I think we are missing a very important evolutionary question here.

How do you explain the natural selection path that leads multicellular organisms to create compacted miniaturised versions of themselves like eggs and baby offsprings?

To relate this to chickens it would be like having an 8 pound fryer and 1. 4 ton roaster) Still if you have a very large stool

(or very deep ditch) the two dogs could interbreed even though they have been separated geologically for a long time and have been bred to be distinct.

You wouldn't have a proto-chicken who lays an egg that'd be considered a chicken there'd be dozens

Well what did the first chicken come out of...Haha-Neanderchicken! Given that we know less than 1%of what there is to be known the missing 99%will always be filtered through ones belief in a creator.

The Chicken. God did not create imperfect nor incomplete things living or otherwise. Genesis is clear that he created man

and the beasts not embryos not individual cells and certainly not the primordial soup so fervently held to by evolution cultists lol.

At some point a chicken-like bird produced an offspring that due to some mutation in its DNA crossed the threshold from mere chicken likeness into chicken actuality.

Every chicken and the egg that it lays are the same species. There is no dividing line at a single generation.

Long before there were chickens there were fish and reptile species that reproduced via eggs. Thus the egg existed long before the chicken.

It's odd to me how anyone denies biological evolution as a fact an obvious one at this point in time.

Give humankind a hundred thousand years isolate groups over time and keep them isolated from each other eventually you have humans with different shades of skin different hair shapes different nostrils and lips stronger musculature some with higher intelligence potential different color eyes...

God made chickens. Put man in charge of chickens. Now we raise them eat them and their eggs.

Chicken came first. The Evolutionists say it is easier to believe the imaginary theory of a dead person which can't be proved

but one must believe. Takes just as much faith to believe in the Theory of evolution as it does to believe in the Theory of God Created Chickens.

The Wizards of Smart continue to propagate such nonsense and dupes keep following it. No matter how you slice it there was something before the supposed event then where did the dinosaurs come from?

Where did the actual earth that they are standing on come from? Where did the asteroid that flew across space come from?

God Created Chickens is a religion. If you believe in God Created Chickens then there is no amount of facts

or proof that will dissuade your belief. So Evolutionist have created their own religion with their own Gods (Magic Goo Creators) with their own Profits (Al gore) and their own Apocalypse (End of Time.
