Eating 5 Burgers a Week Increases Cancer Risk, British Say
By Andrew Schneider - AOL NewsUnless there is something really different between the digestive systems of Yanks and Brits, hamburger lovers on both sides of the Atlantic are about to be told to hold down the number of beef patties they gobble down. It has more to do with reducing your chances of getting cancer than it does with making your love handles smaller. Under new British Department of Health guidelines that are about to be issued, the Scientific Committee on Nutrition has cautioned grown-ups not to eat more than 17.5 ounces of red meat each week. That's a bit more than four Quarter Pounders. They warn that ...
Unhappy Meal: 'Food Activists' Behead Ronald McDonald
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsRonald McDonald is the victim of a crime -- and this time the Hamburglar isn't to blame. A group of artists and activists in Finland kidnapped a Ronald McDonald sculpture from a McDonald's restaurant and, despite the efforts of police, managed to behead a version of the fast-food icon in a grisly recording shot in the style of terrorist videos. Members of the so-called Food Liberation Army are believed to have kidnapped Ronald McDonald from one of the chain's Helsinki locations after presenting restaurant employees with phony documents, the Helsinki Times reports. ...

Courtesy Kacy Jahanbini George Motz is one of the creators of the Chicago Food Film Festival. Attendees watch documentaries about food while the ...
Hungry for History? Take a Tour of Fast-Food Landmarks
By Chris Epting - AOL News(July 22) -- As USA Today recently reported, the Southern California city of Baldwin Park recently banned all new drive-through fast-food restaurants due to complaints that they cause too much traffic -- and too many spare tires around the middle. The irony is that Baldwin Park is where California's very first drive-through, In-N-Out, opened almost 60 years ago. That restaurant site today is where the I-110 freeway meets Francisquito Avenue. But just because the first In-N-Out is gone doesn't mean you can't visit the birthplace of many other fast-food legends. Chris Epting for AOL News The ...
Can You Trust Your Burger?
By Domenica Marchetti - Politics DailyWith the exception of the vegetarians among us, most of us love to sink our teeth into a big, juicy, beef burger now and then. Perhaps we are satisfying some primal desire when we do this. Apparently, we may also taking a big gamble with our health. On Sunday, the New York Times ran a front-page, above-the-fold story about a 22-year-old dance instructor named Stephanie Smith who suffered severe E. coli poisoning in 2007 after eating a hamburger that her mother had grilled. According to the story, the food poisoning "ravaged her nervous system and left her paralyzed." It's unlikely that she ...
