Got A PUStache?

A typical milk mustache may contain 2 million pus cells.

Just another reason to be vegan :)

Vegan Thanks Primal Paleo Author For Saving His Life

I'm sure you have all heard of the "new" hot diet being promoted right now. Primal, Paleo high fat, low carb, no fruit. Sounds a lot like an Atkin's diet do over to me.
Here a vegan makes a lot of good points about why this may not be the best bandwagon to jump on.

Simple Yellow Split Pea Soup

The weather forecast is calling for below zero temperatures this weekend here in Maine.
A simple soup simmering on the stove is healthy, inexpensive way to warm up.

Rinse your dry peas (yellow or green)
In a large pan pour 2-3 quarts of fresh water
add peas and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium
and add carrots, potato, garlic and onion.
I let this cook on medium for about 15 minutes and then
turn the temperature down to simmer and let it go for a
couple of hours.

Wonderful smells, warms you up and it is good for you!

Yellow split peas are a great source of protein and have only 1 gram of fat
for every 350 calories. They are also high and fiber and make you feel full
and satiated.

What are you REALLY eating?

Did you know that there are companies that spend their time creating flavors that will make people crave certain foods and also make them taste better to the consumer?

Prank At The Meat Counter

It is funny how people do not see that greasy bite of sausage was once a cute little pig. This experiment shows them what they just sampled and these shoppers are less than happy to learn where meat really comes from.
