The Dugout: The Doggone Cliff Lee Is Mine
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsCliff Lee is still my favorite baseball player. A few hours after I posted my love letter to melodramatic light R&B hater duets between forgotten late 90s teenage soul singers Cliff Lee made it official, spurning both the evil, greedy New York Yankees and the Alamo-having Texas Rangers to sign with his former team, the Cleveland indians. I mean the Philadelphia Phillies. Sorry, that's easy to get confused! The only way to follow up the terrible job I did yesterday is to do an even more terrible job today. So here is more about a fictional version of Nolan Ryan singing Brandy while I deal ...
Tofu Glue: Coming Soon to a Furniture Store Near You?
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Sept. 29) -- From "ick" to IKEA? That appears to be the trajectory of tofu's latest remarkable transition from niche food product to mainstream miracle-compound. Researchers are developing a low-cost method to convert soy, the primary ingredient in tofu, into environmentally friendly glue products that would be used to make furniture, flooring and other household wood products. The resulting adhesive, composed partly of soy flour, offers an important benefit for eco-conscious and health-conscious furniture-makers and consumers: it doesn't yield formaldehyde vapors, suspected to be ...
'Cheatatarianism': A New Term for Your Secret Bacon Binge
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Sept. 14) -- At home, they're an avid devourer of rubbed kale salads and scrambled tofu. To friends and family, they're known as the resident vegan or vegetarian. But behind closed doors, or maybe even after one too many drinks at a cocktail party, they're shoveling down bacon-wrapped scallops. Now, the helpful folks at TreeHugger are introducing a term to describe meat-free diners who, on occasion and in secret, nosh on animal flesh. And no, it isn't "liars." Cheatatarians, writes Sami Grover, are those who sometimes "sneak a bacon sandwich or a piece of fish," often unbeknownst to their ...
PETA's New Look Screams 'Bloody Murder'
By Ben Muessig - AOL News(July 28) -- Animal rights activists say meat is murder -- bloody, bloody murder. Demonstrators from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recently stripped down in New York City's Times Square, wrapped themselves up in cellophane and doused themselves with fake blood so they looked like meat on sale at a supermarket. They say they put on the July 27 stunt to help meat eaters realize that buying a steak from a grocery store is no different from buying a corpse. ...
'Mad Men's' Lessons on Food Policy
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyThe heat-and-serve meals seen on "Mad Men" don't often inspire me to much food policy thought, but I did appreciate "Mad Men's" very own Soylent Green moment this week when, upon learning what brand of dog food his puppy was eating, a focus group attendee cried out, "Ponies! They make it out of ponies!" After which the dog food company executive calmly observed to the surrounding Sterling Cooper staff that horse meat seemed to have acquired a bit of a branding problem. Likewise, the meat we eat also suffers from a branding problem, namely that we don't think about it enough in terms of ...
