Very Simple, simply post your favorite donut and why

Personally, I love cinnamon twists at the moment. Very tasty, and they have a great doughy flavor that eclairs or jelly donuts don't have. Something about their shape changes the flavor.

Eggs - what they are

All of us know what eggs are. They're ubiquitous. They're one of the basic ingredients used in oyster omelette; you find them in a dizzying array of other dishes. And of course, you eat them soft-boiled, seasoned with dark soy sauce - and a whiff of pepper, if you will.

But if I ask: how heavy is an egg on average? Then some of us may conclude that we don't really know our eggs that well. So let's find out more.

Although the eggs of many birds, fish and other animals can be used as food, most of the eggs we talk about in everyday cooking and dining are hen's eggs. So while you may have quail eggs, ostrich eggs, duck eggs, Nile-crocodile eggs and what have you, when most people say "eggs" in relation to food, they mean chicken eggs.

The average weight of a hen's egg is 50g, with the shell making up about 12 per cent of the total weight. The albumen (or egg white) is a viscous, semi-transparent liquid that holds about 57 per cent of the protein contest of the egg. It also has a high percentage of water and some mineral substances. All in all, the albumen takes up about 58 per cent of the total weight of the egg.

The yolk - taking up 30 per cent of the total weight - is a soft, opaque blob (which, in my opinion, is tastier than the white). The yolk consists of albumins; fats;lecithin; various metals and minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, sodium and potassium; vitamins A, B, D and E; and the remaining 43 per cent of protein in the egg. The egg yolk is a nutritional powerhouse, and packs a seriously bigger punch than the egg white. But its cholesterol content means you should eat it in moderation.

In a nutshell, go for egg whites for their protein, but feel free to occasionally indulge in a yolk - for the nutrition, and for the taste!

Restaurant's menu of unwanted food

Would you eat food made from products near expiry date?

   A restaurant serving dishes made from food about to be thrown away opened its doors in Copenhagen, Denmark, early this week.

   "We all worked in kitchens or supermarkets and seen how much food was thrown away, and we wanted to do something about it," said Ms Sophie Sales, a co-founder of "Rub og Stub", which translates as "lock, stock and barrel".

   Denmark is already home to an active community of "freegans", or people who eat discarded edible food to reduce waste.

   But unlike activists, Rub og Stub won't go rummaging through trash to find its ingredients, and the restaurant doesn't accept food that's been found through so-called "dumpster diving".

   Instead, they're trying to get to the food before grocery stores and other retailers throw them away.

   Said Ms Sales: "We had hoped to secure some permanent deals before the opening, but it was hard because this is such a new concept."

   The restaurant, which is run by volunteers and will give all profits to three charities in Sierra Leone, had to buy some ingredients for the launch.

   Said Ms Sales: "Potential suppliers (donors) found it hard to believe that it's realistic and that we would really open."

   So far, major donations have come from two supermarket chains.

   "It's been everything from lamb chops and duck breast, to big bags of grapes and dairy products," she said.

   Rug og Stub doesn't accept food that's already been prepared elsewhere, and because of its sourcing methods, the menu changes every day. - AFP.

I just saw this at wal-mart, and I was like, "This is friggen awesome!"  So I bought some.  I now think it's one of the best instant foods they sell in america.  Get the "Teriyaki" flavor; while it's not actually teriyaki, (It's actually regular yakisoba flavor) it's damn good as hell.  Chicken flavor is crap; it can go to hell and die.

Anyone else had this, or seen it at wal-mart?  And if so was it not good as hell?

What are superfoods?

The term "superfoods", once confined to the vocabulary of the health-conscious, has become mainstream. While there isn't an agreed medical definition of what a superfood is, the dictionary describes the term as referring to foods that are regarded as especially beneficial because they are packed with nutrients that supposedly have health-giving properties.

Members of the medical fraternity are hesitant to use this term, but marketers love to use it as a selling point to promote a particular food. There is no definitive list of superfoods, and the items on the list change depending on the health issues at hand.

Some of the best-known superfoods are oily fish, nuts, tomatoes, olive oil, eggs, berries, green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, orange vegetables, oats, tea, whole grains and yogurt. The claimed benefits of adding these items to your diet include preventing cancer and heart disease, enhancing your appearance, lowering cholesterol, reducing pressure and promoting digestive health.

Whether you have any ailments or not, it is probably a good idea to incorporate these foods into your meals as they contain vitamins, minerals and other nutrients you need as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Don't regard consuming them as taking medicine, as it's sure way of taking the fun out of enjoying nature's rich bounty!

It is important to remember that portion size matters, even when it comes to healthy foods. Nuts may be healthy, but if they are heavily salted or sugar coated, it defeats the purpose of healthy eating. The cooking method also counts. Fish and vegetables should be prepared as simply as possibly, with just a little or not fat and seasoning.

Has anyone else who's been out of the country noticed that Fanta is terrible only in the U.S.? I've been to Japan, and melon, and other Fanta flavors were quite popular. Personally, I think melon Fanta is one of the greatest drinks out there. Also, my sister has been to Europe, and apparently Fanta was popular there, as well. She said that the Fanta there was awesome, but we both agree Fanta is awful here in the U.S.


Has anyone else noticed that the U.S. Fanta formulas aren't up to par with the rest of the world?

I need to convince someone to stop eating fast food(burgerking/mcd/etc).
Any arguments or research/studies?
