#Are Birds Evolving To Not Get Hit By Cars? If you've ever had the soul-crushing misfortune of hitting a bird
while speeding down the road you can at least take heart in the fact that some birds are on the whole getting better at dodging them.
Whiter rabbits will always do better in snow than black rabbits shorter-legged boars will always do better in denser jungles) The still unproven part of the evolutionary theory (it's still a theory) is Macro Evolution.
#Your Complete Guide To Chocolate Flavors Infographic Sean Seidell graphic designer and flavor-visualizer has made an infographic about just about all of the world's most wonderful things--cheese whiskey coffee beer.
It's apparently a much more common chocolate flavor than you'd expect showing up in the Dominican republic's Criollo Forastero and Ecuador's Arriba Nacional as well.

We thought the piece of cheese was a little too much so we tried one with just the coil
Experiments with mac and cheese sandwiches pasta entrees potato chip bags bags of popcorn and other food all showed that people ate more when given more.
In the potato chip study people didn't adjust their intake at dinner after eating a larger bag of chips.

#Low-Fat, Nonfat, Gluten-Free: How The Government Influences Health Claims On Packaged Food Noticed a lot of new gluten-free
and no trans fat snacks in your grocery store lately? It's not just you. A new study from the U s. Department of agriculture found that gluten
and trans fat labels are the quickest-growing categories of food-packaging claims. Also hot now:
and cooking spray--and baked goods. Meanwhile for some categories of food--fruits and vegetables for instance--the number of claims went up.
You can see the appearance of the low-fat craze in the 1990s the popularity of the Atkins diet in the early 2000s and the gluten-free fad right now.

Enter Sean Seidell a Philadelphia-based graphic designer who has a knack for visualizing the the many flavors of our favorite foodstuffs.
He's previously taught us all we need to know about cheese beer and coffee.
and oaky and a good Canadian single malt should have a vanilla taste. Plus now we know which whiskeys to stay away from to avoid that peaty taste (Highland
and Islay Scotch though the latter is the only option with hints of bacon fat). Most varieties share an oaky flavor
But have you been detecting the slight eau de biscuit in Canadian rye? You dont need aliens to teach you how to make alcohol...

Should I crave honey and vanilla I buy an ice cream and for bacon an buttery I'll get a breakfast.
Where do these tasters get their vocabulary from. Whenever I read a write up from wine tasters I want to turn tea total.
Descriptions like with a hint of cinnamon and chocolate and a faint touch of nutmeg make

I know I should avoid it. where in these flavor characteristic is the flavor of whiskey

Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.
In fact coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet outranking both fruits
It is also the biggest source of antioxidants in the modern diet. Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you drinking way too much of it can still be harmful.
To make sure to preserve the health benefits don't put sugar or anything nasty in your coffee!
I would imagine a good salad would prove more healthy than a cup of coffee would be cheaper
what little nutrients are left after roasting are not very beneficial to health. Caffeine is only a temporary stimulant

#What Does Cheese Really Taste Like? Infographic Once you go beyond the types of cheese that can be ordered on a Subway not quite-footlong sandwich the world of fancy cheeses can be a baffling one full of strange names and hints of obscure flavors.
Using a paper from the Journal of Sensory Studies graphic designer Sean Seidell put together an infographic exploring the wonderful world of cheese.
In the paper from 2010 researchers looked into how using simpler language can help communicate complicated sensory descriptions.
They found that using high identity traits made it easier to identify similarities and differences between cheese samples.
In graphic form the study's findings provide a cheat sheet for those of us who can spend hours browsing at the cheese counter on a quest for that perfect nutty cheese we tried that one time.
Wondering what the difference is between a longhorn cheddar and a New york variant? Wondering how feta relates to provolone?
To the cheese wheel! The splotches extending out from each cheese correspond to one or more flavors on the wheel.
Gruyere for example seems to have a bit of a pineapple flavor going on while feta has hints of sauerkraut.
I wonder what beer flavor that could pair with? You can see more of Seidell's work on his blog. visua. ly
I'm not sure how I'd use this beyond I don't like Bleu Cheese so I don't think I'll try Stilton or Roquefort.
I don't think I could say I'm looking for a sharp goatey cheese...Oh here it is!
Because I've been around goats and I don't want cheese that tastes like what goats smell like
but more importantly I can't imagine the taste combo or even identify those characteristics in the cheese that I know.
Maybe I'm the minority? And where does Velveeta fall in this chart? Velveeta falls under processed garbage and american cheese and Kraft anything fall under the same category.
Velveeta would not fall anywhere on this chart; it is not cheese. I doubt that it's even edible.
Sounds cheesy. What is velveeta exactly? And what does colby jack fall under? Two slices of rye e
#Alaska Brewery Uses Beer To Make More Beer The Associated press has the story of Juneau's Alaskan Brewing Company
which has installed a pleasingly sustainable new boiler system that takes grain that's been used in the brewing process
and burns it to power the brewery. Other breweries such as Newcastle in the UK have been spent burning grain for fuel before
and soak the barley kernels in hot water to extract a large percentage of the sugars found in them.
Once the water is drained off the sugar-depleted kernels are called spent grain. What to do with mounds of this stuff has always been a question brewers have to deal with.
And other breweries turn used grain into bread dog biscuits biodegradable plastics and more. Spent grain is also known as draff.
According to a new study by the CDC the greatest number of foodborne illnesses in the U s. are caused not by raw cookie dough
or undercooked meat or questionable shellfish but by leafy green vegetables. Of the 9. 6 million cases of food-borne illness reported each year 51 percent are caused by contaminated plants;
All the meat and poultry commodities combined--beef game pork and poultry--were responsible for 22 percent of illness
and sit down with a big bowl of raw cookie dough and your favorite chicken tartare beware:
tainted greens may make you sick but poultry is still more likely to kill you. stomach flu--deposited by food handlersdoes this mean the migrants are taking dumps in the field LOLHOW much of this effect is down to the fact that we are all hyper aware of handling raw meats
and raw eggs and even if we didn't are most likely to eat them cooked
whereas we have no such awareness of the dangers of raw greens and are most likely to eat them raw?
However moving into hospitalizations sees a big rise in meats and dairy while the deaths group I believe is dominated by meat (poultry
I'd assume).@@buell I doubt artificial fertilizers and pesticides will harbour the norovirus. So why mention them?

Seeing that green leafy veggies are eaten practically every meal as condiments garnishes salads along with being the staple (raw spinach leaves cabbage etc) in many vegan diets it would seem that statistical probability alone dictate that they cause the most illness due to contamination by outside factors.
Any attention in this area should focus on those factors rather than reducing intake. The benefits of the fiber & nutrition they provide far outweigh the risk for most people!
Although there was no evidence of the saola Gilbert did find DNA from the Annamite striped rabbit.

#DNA Test Finds Horse Meat In UK Hamburgersthe Irish version of the FDA called the FSAI has found distinctly non-beef animal protein in ground meat labeled beef in some supermarkets.
Meat from two Irish processing plants has been found to contain substantial portions of pig and curiously horse DNA.
Of 27 samples analyzed 23 were found to contain pork and 10 were found to contain horsemeat.
In one sample collected from Tesco--a major supermarket chain all over the UK--approximately 29%of the meat was found to be horsemeat.
Looks like it's not just seafood that isn't quite what it claims to be.
Now none of the samples were found to be unsafe for human consumption in any way
and it's likely that many would have no objection to eating pig or even horsemeat.
Horse is a traditional meat in some areas of France among other places. The pork can be explained away by the fact that both pork
and beef are processed at the same plant though nobody seems to have any idea how a significant amount of horsemeat made its way into the ground beef.
But there are two major concerns here. The first is for people with dietary restrictions: neither pig nor horse is kosher
and pig is not halal. The second is that even though these samples of meat are safe it does not speak very highly of the regulation in place for meat processing especially in the UK
which has had the worst experience with BSE commonly known as mad cow disease of any country in the world.
In response all products from those suppliers have been withdrawn and the FSAI is investigating to see how this could have happened. via BBC
i dont mind what in the hamburger its the non respect of the food chain regulations that gives me yakee feeling...
or meat from China they all be dead including their pets. Don't care what's in the meat
so long as it tastes good eh? Guess you'll want to try this Soylent Green then...Well that's a little disturbingsoylent Green (human meat i presume?..
oh as i said if its well regulated and sanitary enough...---Type 0. 72)= We are still just cleaver monkeys!
and just banning beef import or looking at beef products only...would be a disaster...
i'm pretty sure that horse meat is supposed to be leaner and more nutritious for you than beef and pork. it'd make sense
if some local places put horse meat in their burgers. to mars or bust! It isn't people it isn't deadly so dark beef can be on the menu.
LOL...I can't believe how many seem to not care about what is in their food...
and furthermore don't seem to mind that it is undocumented. Don't invite me over for dinner!
I gave up meat many years ago so perhaps my comment isn't worth much.
However if I was eating beef and discovered something like this was going on where I live
I'd stop pretty quickly. The real danger is of course that it indicates lack of regulation
and suggests that it could get much worse in the future. Um eating horse is ok. You can get it fresh in France.
The point is that you should know what is in the meat you are eating.
While the beef in the burgers is 100%Irish and butchered in Ireland the factory that made the burgers added protein to them
and contains non-beef proteins. Meat in Ireland is tracked from farm to plate the regulations are very tight.
Nothing wrong with eating horse meat though as long as you know what your eating and you aren't squeamish about it.
I thank you for your time good day sirs and madams!@@strange009 firstly it sounds strange to
me that one would add protein to beef which is rich in protein but perhaps that is so.
However the article states that there was foreign DNA in the meat! There's no DNA in protein.
So horsemeat has been found in Tesco Products. A spokesman says it's bollocks. A woman has been taken to hospital after eating horsemeat burgers.
Her condition is said to be stable. I expect this only relates to those mini-burgers you have as snacks.
Are you in favour of Horsemeat in your burgers? Yay or Neigh? I had a Tesco burger and now
I really hope they launch a steward's inquiry into the Tesco horsemeat scandal. We must find out hoof to blame.
Soylent green wasn't human meat. It was processed protein cake that included protein from dead human bodies.
In the great ordering of taste and texture I put European horse ABOVE European beef.

if you've hopped on the latest diet-craze bandwagon the Paleo diet. Based on the idea that our hunter-gatherer ancestors didn't suffer from the pains of obesity cancer gout
and other modern woes the diet prohibits anything that didn't make up the human diet prior to the agricultural revolution 10000 years ago.
That cuts out dairy grains sugars and legumes as well as all delicious processed foods. But unless you happen to be an expert in pre-Neolithic living

Shaunacy Ferro What? What?@@Michael316pp the only problem with your assumption is that is exaclty backwards from whats actually happening.
whether humans ate meat that much anyway. But it's the closest thing to a good diet that has a name.
Grains are basically evil but some of the other stuff is a bit overboard. Dairy is a great addition to a diet
if you can handle it for example. The thing about humans getting better nutrition is true
We can eat salads piled high with grilled chicken and all sorts of exotic fruits and vegetables every day.
and other modern woes the diet prohibits anything that didn't make up the human diet prior to the agricultural revolution 10000 years ago.
Well it is an article about a diet but exercise also plays a role. Lets not forget that Og the caveman walked everywhere

I cut out dairy and gluten and watched my calorie intake. Lost 12 pounds in 1 and 1/2 months.
Didn't even do cardio throughout the diet. However it is important to note for anyone who wants to try it that it is a lifestyle choice.
As soon as you go off the diet you start gaining the weight back pretty fast. It is remarkable how cutting gluten out of your diet can make a difference though...
@Thekid11: Unless you have a sensitivity to gluten (especially celiac disease) the gluten (which is a protein) isn't causing the weight gain.
The carbohydrates that usually accompany gluten are the problem. I don't think the paleo diet is particularly healthy.
There are still tribes that live of it. Eg. the San-Bushmen in the Kalahari. For one they are definitely not tall and
By cutting out gluten you are losing the weight because you are limiting the amount of carbs you eat.
If your going to back up wheat gluten or dairy then at least recognize the rudimentary facts-1) there are better sources of fiber calcium etc in other foods. 2) for all diseases/conditions the foods that doctors recommend eliminating are wheat gluten
and dairy. 3) its no longer speculation-wheat gluten and dairy trigger an autoimmune response and lead to a multitude of illnesses. 4) Children from birth and throughout development are much healthier
when eliminating wheat gluten and dairy. In fact most babies cant digest wheat gluten or dairy because they lack the necessary enzymes
#Daily Infographic, Beer Edition: The Beer Flavor And Aroma Wheel Flavor wheels--a visual depiction of the varieties of flavors or aromas that a particular substance might display--has a long if somewhat gnarly history.

Rinse and repeat until up to 30 percent of your meal is gone. There's no anesthesia involved
The aspiration process is performed about 20 minutes after the entire meal is consumed and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
For optimal weight loss patients should aspirate after each major meal (about 3 times per day) initially.
