I h0pe everyone had a good Thanksgiving celebrating a rich meal with family and friends.  I also hope no one ate the answer to this week’s Name that “Food!” I would have had no idea that those ingredients made up:

Sno Balls is a registered trademark of the Hostess ® brand

Actually, I take that back.  I am not surprised that an unrecognizable list of ingredients made up a fake, toxic looking “food.”  I have always looked at these sno balls, and thought, “What is that?  That cannot be edible.”  My favorite ingredient was, “pork gelatin.”  ”Coconut (sulfite treated)” comes in a close second.  Similar to many of the other “foods” featured each week, it sounds like a chemistry lab.

If you want more information about Hostess Sno Balls, check out the website.  They are proud to report:

You might be surprised to know that Sno Balls have also made celebrity appearances, with supporting roles in episodes of The X-Files and Gilmore Girls as well as in the film The Mirror Has Two Faces.

The school day in Britain is different from the French school day : not as long but more concentrated. Most British schools have morning and afternoon sessions every day, from Monday to Friday. Children stay at school from about 9 am to 3.30 pm but many stay later for other activities. There are different possibilities for them to have lunch.

 They can stay at school, like the great majority, and eat a prepared meal, a packed lunch. Many children do this. This meal usually starts just after midday and is eaten in the classroom, with the teachers and friends. Some parents try to provide healthy things like a yoghurt or a fruit but the favourite food for the kids are chocolate and crisps. Some parents give up to the children’s tastes and give candies and junk food, that is easier to prepare as well as it is ready made.

Some, a minority, go back home. They can stay at school and get a school dinner : a prepared meal, served at school. It is often prepared in the school kitchen, or by a catering system and brought in. School dinners used to be boring, with very little choice, but things  have improved and most schools allow children to choose from a menu. There is generally a hot main course, a choice of vegetables, or a salad, and a variety of puddings. The problem is that most children avoid healthy things like salad and keep on asking for crisps, especially when they are asked to choose what they prefer !

 As far as the teachers are concerned, they used to sit with the children and eat with them. But this is no longer true as they have so many things to do at lunchtime. Some teachers bring a packed lunch and very few go back home. Sometimes they go to a pub or a takeaway to get something to eat. Teachers’rooms also provide microwaves and fridges so that each one can have the choice and his or her own diet !

 Proposition de corrigé :

 We are given the different possibilities for schoolchildren and teachers to have lunch at work. In this document it is emphasized that the school day in Britain is different from the school day in a French school. The week is different and the number of long school days is more important.

 There are various possibilities for them to have lunch : they can go back home although they seldom do it. They can get a prepared meal at school but it is not pleasant although they now get a choice in the vegetables and the dessert. The meals are provided by the school or delivered by a catering service. One problem is that the children often choose what is unhealthy for them : crisps and no vegetables.  

 The last solution is to bring their own packed lunch at school although it is often unhealthy as well as parents prepare it according to the children’s tastes : crisps, chocolate and no fruit or salad.

 As far as the teachers are concerned, they have several possibilities : in many schools they have to sit with the children and eat with them in their classroom ; it happens less and less though. Due to the lack of time and the amount of work a lot of them do not go back home but bring a packed lunch and eat in the teachers’ lounge, sometimes they can go to a pub or a café to get a more friendly atmosphere.

 Now it is your turn : Describe the situation in France. Talk about your experience.

Story:
AUSTRALIAN scientists have confirmed what chocoholics have been praying is true – their favourite comfort food can reduce stress.

Food rich in fat and sugar can alter chemical composition in the brain to reduce anxiety, professor Margaret Morris said.

In a study of rats, Professor Morris, from the University of NSW’s School of Medical Sciences, found effects of past trauma could be erased by “unlimited access to yummy food”.

“Implementing that diet reversed anxiety … it took an animal back to the non-stressed state,” Professor Morris said.

“We really don’t know why, but there seems to be a biochemical link.”

Using two groups of baby rats, one with normal contact with mothers, the other with lengthy separations and higher stress hormones, scientists found they became less stressed with comfort foods.

“The control group had no effect from the diet really, but the stressed animals had a deficit … which was restored by the diet.”

“(The) food seems to affect neurogenesis similar to the way anti-depressants promote nerve growth in the brain.”

Trying two new things this morning: grilling a turkey, and live-blogging on SV-POW!

I like to grill. Steak, chicken, kebabs, yams, pineapple, bananas–as long as it’s an edible solid, I’m up for it. But I’ve never grilled a turkey before. Neighbor, colleague, fellow paleontologist and grillmeister Brian Kraatz sent me his recipe, which is also posted on Facebook for the edification of the masses. See Brian’s excellent writeup for the whole process, I’m just going to hit the photogenic parts here. Oh, and usually I tweak any photos I post within an inch of their lives, but I don’t have time for that this morning, so you’re getting as close to a live, unedited feed as I can manage. Stay tuned for updates.

Enough of that. Let’s rock!

The process starts  more than a day in advance, with the brine. Salt water, fruit, onions, garlic, spices, and some apple juice.

The turkey needs to be entirely immersed in the brine for at least 24 hours. Doing this in a solid container would require an extra big container and too much  liquid to cover the bird. I follow Brian’s method of brining in a triple-layer of trash bags. You can see a turkey roaster peeking out underneath the trash bags. Helps with the carrying.

Put the turkey in the trash bags first, then pour in the brine. Unless you like huge messes.

The genius of the trash bag method on display. You can squeeze out all the air so that the volume of the bag is equal to just the turkey and the brine.

Into the fridge for a day.

First thing this morning: out come the giblets, and save the goodies from the brine. We’ll get back to the neck later.

The bird awaits.

Crucial step: putting in a drip pan. Keeps the coals off to the side for indirect heat, and catches the grease so you don’t burn down the neighborhood.

Putting in the herb butter. I used three short sticks of butter mixed with sage, lemon pepper, and Mrs. Dash. Working the skin away from the meat and then filling the space with butter was extremely nasty. This must be what diverticula feel like.

A chimney is helpful to get the coals going.

To eat is human; to grill is divine.

Smoke bombs: mesquite chips soaked in water, wrapped up in balls of tinfoil, with holes poked on top to let the smoke out.

Fruit and spices into the body cavity.

At this point, I was fairly certain that today would be the greatest day of my life. The turkey is centered over the drip pan, stuffed with goodness, subcutaneously loaded with herb butter, draped with bacon. You can see one of the smoke bombs sitting right on top of the coals.

Know what you’re getting into. This 15 lb bird just barely cleared the lid of my grill.

A little over an hour in. I installed foil heat shields to keep the wings and thighs from cooking too fast. It’s all about the indirect heat. Some of the bacon comes off now, as a mid-morning treat.

Okay, the bird is about halfway done, and I have to whip up some sustainer coals and another batch of smoke bombs. Further updates as and when. Happy Thanksgiving!

UPDATE

I was hoping to get some more pictures posted before we ate, but you know how it is in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day (or, if you’re not an American, maybe you don’t know, so I’ll tell you: dogs and cats living together, we’re talking total chaos).

The turkey just before I pulled it off the grill. The heat shields turned out to be clutch, I would have completely destroyed the limbs without them. That’s going to be SOP from now on.

Ah yes, the bird, she turned out even more succulent than I hadda expected. Check out the pink shade of the meat just below the skin. I recognize that, from good barbeque, but I’ve never produced it before.

That’s it for the cooking part of today’s program. As for the ultimate fate of the bird…we ate a stupifying amount of it. I sent even more home with our guests. And the other half–yes, half–of this thunder beast is sitting in the fridge. Hello-o leftovers!

And hello-o science!

I was going to post some more pictures of the neck, but I didn’t get around to eating it, so…another time, perhaps. In lieu, here’s Mike’s turkey vertebra in left lateral view (see the original in all its supersized glory here). Note the pneumatic foramen in the lateral wall of the centrum, just behind the cervical rib loop. This is actually kind of a lucky catch; a lot of times with chickens and turkeys, the pneumatic foramina are so far up in the cervical rib loop that they can’t be seen in lateral view.

It used to freak me out a little bit that birds often don’t have their pneumatic foramina in the middle of the lateral wall of the centrum, like sauropods. But a possible explanation occurred to me just this morning as I was planning this post. I think that birds have their pneumatic foramina right where you’d expect them, based on sauropods. I’ll explain why.

The first part of the explanation is that instead of wearing their pneumatic cavities on the outside, like this Giraffatitan cervical, bird vertebrae tend to be inflated from within, with just a few tiny foramina outside. The second part is that birds have HUGE cervical rib loops compared to sauropods. If the sauropod vert shown above had its rib on, the resulting loop would be fairly dainty, the osteological equivalent of a bracelet. The cervical rib loops of birds are more like tubes, they’re so antero-posteriorly elongated.

So take the brachiosaur cervical shown above and shrink all of the external pneumatic spaces by several inches. The cavities on the arch and spine would close up entirely, and the complex of fossae and foramina on the lateral side of the centrum would be reduced to a small hole right behind the cervical rib. Then stretch out the cervical rib loop in the fore-aft direction and voila, you’d have something like a turkey cervical, with a little tiny pneumatic foramen tucked up inside the cervical rib loop.

This doesn’t explain why bird verts are inflated from within instead of being eroded from without, or why sauropods had such dinky cervical rib loops (mechanical what, now?), or why pneumatic diverticula tend to make the biggest holes in the front half of the centrum, adjacent to the cervical ribs. I just think that maybe bird and sauropod pneumaticity are not as different as they  appear at first glance. Your thoughts are welcome.

(I just figured out how to link my blog to my facebook profile, so if any of you find this on FB and don’t know what it’s about, you can go to the link below that says ‘read original post’ and that’ll take you to the site. Welcome!)

4 days left. I could stretch it to 5 if I had to, but I want to be out of my apartment on Sunday night.

Yesterday, on top of my regular (somewhat nutritional) daily meals, I ate the following:

• 4 Peak Frean jelly cookies
• 1 large bag Hard Bite potato chips
• 1 full tub Mayan Chocolate Haagen Dasz
• 1 bag Jelly Bellies
• 1 McChicken

Not all at once of course, but still… that’s excessive, right? It was when I finished the bag of potato chips that I realized what felt so familiar about it. The last time I ate a whole large bag of chips at one sitting was when I was past-last-minute cramming for an exam at UBC. I think maybe it’s stress?

I’m not consciously worried anymore, in fact I think everything’s pretty much on track. And I think last night I might have even crossed a threshold, where so many of the essentials are gone from my apartment that now my van is the more comfortable place to be!

Well, now that the junk food’s all gone I can get back to sorting through stuff. There’s a pile to keep with me in the van, a pile to keep in storage (many thanks to all who are helping out with that… Jodi, Vero, Ocean, Erica, Kristie & Russ), a pile to take to Gather & GIve (they put together packages of household items for people with low incomes that are starting a new home from scratch), a pile that’s true garbage.

(sigh)

okay, okay, back to it…

Center for Science in the Public Interest in its report “Most Food Ads on Nickelodeon Still for Junk Food” notes that nearly 80 percent of food ads on the popular children’s network Nickelodeon are for foods of poor nutritional quality.

That represents a modest and not quite statistically significant drop from 2005, when CSPI researchers found that about 90 percent of food ads on Nick were for junk food. Between the 2005 and 2009 studies, the food industry instituted a self-regulatory program through the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI).

CSPI also examined the practices of the food companies that participate in that self-regulatory program. Of the 452 foods and beverages that companies say are acceptable to market to children, CSPI found that 267, or nearly 60 percent, do not meet CSPI’s recommended nutrition standards for food marketing to children.

Fast, junk, street e outras expressões que precedem a palavra food estão pelas mesas (muitas delas de trabalho) mundo afora

Por Melissa Toledo

Brasileiro gosta de comida, mas também de termos em inglês. Fast food, junk food, street food estão por todos os lados. Mas o que estas expressões significam? O termo mais comum deles, fast food, “comida rápida” em inglês, é dado ao consumo de refeições que podem ser preparadas e servidas em um curto período de tempo. No “menu” estão sanduíches, pizzas, salgados e outros alimentos comumente vendidos em lojas pertencentes às grandes redes de alimentação.

Já o significado da expressão junk food parece mais assustador. A “comida lixo”, em tradução literal do inglês, é uma expressão pejorativa para nomear alimentos frequentemente com alto teor calórico, níveis reduzidos de nutrientes, altos níveis de gordura saturada, sal ou açúcar, muitos aditivos alimentares e, ao mesmo tempo, carente de proteínas, vitaminas e outros atributos saudáveis.

Embora muitos alimentos fast food se enquadrem nesta categoria, o termo é mais usado para comidas industrializadas como salgadinhos chips, batatinhas e outros alimentos do gênero. Tais produtos normalmente possuem prazo de validade prolongado, não requerem nem mesmo refrigeração, são mundialmente populares por serem fáceis de encontrar, requerem um mínimo ou nenhum preparo antes do consumo e assim são cada vez mais disseminadas entre os fabricantes.

A expressão street food é empregada quando a rua (street, em inglês) é a cozinha. As chamadas comidas de barraquinha, como a pamonha anunciada aos gritos, o cachorro quente do carrinho, o acarajé da baiana, a tapioca do ambulante na areia da praia, o milho verde, o churros, a pipoca, o espetinho, o churrasquinho grego – comidas comuns também em festas populares, circos e outros eventos. De tão popular, a comida de rua tem até um festival no Rio de Janeiro, o Degusta Rio, feira de gastronomia que aconteceu no início deste mês de novembro no Cais do Porto.

Today’s blog is celebratory (no, I’m NOT a priest)!

Tomorrow will be my 30th day eating ONLY raw food but today I’m feeling kinda…silly!

Over the past month I’ve had some doubts about my sanity…giving up booze, food as I knew it, and coffee SUCKED.

But…I’m feeling pretty damn good right now.  Super good actually.  Energy levels are off the energy level charts–and that’s according to these guys with clipboards who keep following me around.

Tomorrow I’ll weigh myself and post 30 day “before & after pics!”

But right now I want to celebrate my budding transformation and Annie’s Birthday by sharing some fun Birthday pics of her and some crazy cats opening her presents!

Annie’s “Birthday Cake” was delicious Gluten-Free “Black & White” cookies and these unbelievably tasty things called “Fudgies” that I had shipped as a surprise from her favorite Gluten Free restaurant–which sadly is all the way in NYC…the Risotteria.

What's this...?

THE NEW ADAM LAMBERT CD! I HAVE A HAIR THINGY JUST LIKE HIM!

I smell cardboard in the other room...

What the hell did WE get!?!

Sweet! A box! From Urban Outfitters!

Now look into the camera baby, and give me your best Kristen Stewart American Apparel kinda look...Yeah..That's it!

Fortunatley Annie's one leg is on the opposite side of her one arm so she can still do a BIRTHDAY DANCE!

H A P P Y   B I R T H D A Y    A N N I E !

YOU’RE A WOMAN NOW!

My husband and I thought that our newly-minted 10-yr-old daughter has been looking pretty thin over the last six to nine months.  She had always been a picky eater (like her mom), but her zen for desserts/junk food seemed to be changing.  Whereas prior to that time, on any given day you could count on her to be into having junk food when it was offered, she started to decline such foods on a random basis. 

My first thoughts were of happiness – my daughter had a normal relationship with food and didn’t eat just to eat, and could listen to her body’s signals that she was full or just plain not hungry - woohoo!!!!  What I would give to be  be that way!

Quickly though, those thoughts changed.  As someone who started becoming a compulsive overeater at right around her age, my radar of course went up.  So my thoughts turned to – what effect me and my eating habits and/or the peer pressure at school were having on her.

Because of my issues and being acutely aware of all the body image issues out there for kids these days, my husband and I never used the word “fat” in our house.  You would never hear the words “do these jeans make my butt look big” or the like, because we didn’t want our kids to hear that kind of stuff.  Well, as much as we’d like to keep our kids in a bubble of our protected world, they of course heard those terms and phrases at school and on disney shows (!!), so those terms came into our home.

She had always been an average weight for most of her life, but now she was looking decidedly thin.  So at her 10-yr check up last week, our fears were confirmed.  Apprarently, at this age, kids are supposed to gain about 5 pounds a year.  Well, my daughter grew only 1-1/4 inches and LOST 2 lbs over the course of the past year!  So compared to last year, her height went from being the 45th percentile to the 30th and her weight went from the 50th percentile to the 20th percentile. 

So the doctor wants to see her back again in six weeks to see if there has been any change in her weight.  At that time, the doctor may or may not send our daughter for blood work to make sure it is not a medical issue.

Assuming there is no medical problem, as she is otherwise healthy, I can’t help but wonder what part of this weight issue is from what she mimics of me and what part is peer related. After the nurse weighed and measured her, and we were waiting for the doctor to come in, I was looking at my little record book of her heights and weights and noticed the drop.  I casually mentioned it to my daughter and she made a comment about not wanting to get fat.  I know that is not something ever said in this house, however, I am her mother, her main care-giver, and I’m sure some of my sickness is evident to her in some fasion.  *sigh*  I have not told her (or my younger son) about my eating disorder because I think she is too young to really comprehend it.  But I will definitely have a talk with her about it when my husband and I feel the time is right.

So my husband and I are supposed to, in a relaxed fashion,  encourage her to eat more, such as having a snack before bed, which we haven’t done in the past.  We are hoping that by her hearing from the doctor that she needs to eat more, and our gentle prodding, that she will put some weight back on.

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about Kate Moss  mentioning the infamously pro-anorexic motto “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” during an interview with WWD (Story here). While I don’t think that Moss intended the comment to be serious lifestyle advice for the masses, the truth is that people, particularly the crazed, young women striving to look as starved and anemic as she is, are probably going to take it as such. I mean, a model’s primary professional concern is his or her body, so it’s not that far-fetched to believe that some people would mistake it for expert advice. Anyone with even a slight tendency to eat badly, however, will tell you there are plenty of things that taste better than skinny: bacon, Ben and Jerry’s, pizza, Junior’s cheesecake, bagels, mashed potatoes, fettuccine alfredo, and those gold-wrapped round chocolates from the gods, just to name a few.

Speaking of weight and food that’s bad for you, I heard something interesting on the radio recently about the other end of the eating disorder spectrum:

A new study done on rats suggests that unhealthy, but delicious, food can actually be as addictive as (gasp!) heroin or cocaine (side note: Kate, remember when you were in the midst of a highly-publicized coke scandal in 2005? Nothing is better than how being high off coke feels, right?). According to really smart scientists at Scripps Research Institute in Florida, rats who were exposed to “high-fat, high-calorie food” ate increased amounts as “the pleasure pathways in their brains became less and less responsive, forcing them to consume more to get the same amount of pleasure.” Even when the researchers paired the junk food with a mild shock, the rats still chose it over a nutritional alternative. And when the junk food was removed altogether, the rats preferred to not eat at all rather than eat the nutritional alternative, which is pretty indicative of addiction.

In other words, a person addicted to junk food would probably prefer to be tasered and still receive a Big Mac than have to eat a Kashi granola bar and an apple. smh.

Yesterday . . . we won’t talk about yesterday. Yesterday was a bad day. I ate way too much. I am noticing that if I don’t eat processed food, I do well on calories. But eating any processed food seems to screw me up for the rest of the day. Last week, the only bad day I had was the day I ate out for dinner. This surprises me. I wouldn’t be surprised if I, say, ate the entire batch of scones. It seems to be everything, though. So no more scones. If I don’t eat junk food, I don’t get cravings for it or any other food (except, oddly enough, spinach. I am craving spinach, which is definitely a first. Guess what I am going to eat for dinner?). It’s weird. There is probably an explanation, but I don’t know it. There is no junk food in moderation for me. At least not now. So pressing forward.

The plus side is that I slept at night. Late at night, so I woke up too late in the morning to eat breakfast, but at least I’m getting somewhere.

If you think having a medium popcorn and soft drink while watching a movie won’t add much to your weight, then it’s time to get a reality check, suggests a new study.

The study by the Center for Science and Public Interest (CSPI) found that consuming popcorn and a drink means taking in three days worth of an adult’s recommended allowance of fat.

The researchers said that a medium popcorn and drink had 1,160 calories.

Even sharing a small portion of cinema popcorn between two would mean each person consumes a day’s worth of saturated fat.

“It’s hard enough for Americans to maintain a healthy weight even when limiting their eating to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who realises that they might be taking in a meal’s worth of calories during a movie? The healthiest snack to buy at the movies is no snack at all,” the Telegraph quoted Jayne Hurley, a CSPI senior nutritionist, as saying.

The study also found that a bag of Reese’s Pieces sold at US cinemas contained 1,160 calories and 35 grams of saturated fat, the equivalent of eating a 16-ounce T-bone steak and a buttered baked potato.

The study has been published in Nutrition Action Healthletter.

A fellow student and I run a study break for students in my graduate department on a weekly basis.  In general we serve them junk food because we have unsuccessfully tried serve them healthy food.  One week we brought in fresh fruit:  apples, oranges, and grapes.  People were not happy.  Several people walked into the room, saw the food, turned around, and walked right back out.

I talked about this with another friend of mine who ran the study breaks last year.  He had tried to implement healthy food, but had run into the same problem:  people would not eat it.

I was able to understand this after reading a post by Mark at Mark’s Daily Apple.

As researchers observed rats that were fed a steady diet of “junk food,” (chocolate, cheesecake, bacon, sausage, etc.) they found that the “’animals’ brain reward circuits became less responsive’” over time. Not surprisingly, the animals began to exhibit “compulsive overeating habits.” Even when subjected to mild shocks, the animals were undeterred as they chowed down on the junk food, and they refused to eat healthier food when it was the only feed available.

Eating junk food causes you to become addicted to junk food and dislike eating healthy food.  The dislike you get of healthy food is probably worse for your health than your love for junk food.

People often claim that people eat junk food because it is cheap, but this is not necessarily the case.  I bought fruit for a study break and it was much less expensive than the study breaks where I buy processed snacks.  Initially I was really worried about staying under budget when buying healthy, but is not as big of a problem as one might expect.

Besides the healthy food being cheaper, it is also more filling.  It is easy to devour a box of cookies in one sitting.  Try to eating four apples at one time.

For years the body has been viewed as inherently evil—a vessel we had to live in until it returned from whence it came. Yet, this is the same body in which the Holy Spirit of God lives. The Apostle Paul calls it the “temple” which we were to honor because of its purpose. A minister once told me that Jesus died for our souls not our bodies. Such thinking clearly opposes Paul’s view who claims that our bodies were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). The price for our bodies was Christ’s crucifixion. He redeemed not only our souls but won back our bodies as well. Because we were designed to be one entity– body, mind and spirit, Christ’s death and resurrection meant redemption for our entire being.

The Consequences of Ignoring the Body
Therefore, as one cannot ignore the soul, one cannot act as if the body does not exist. Such an attitude gets us in trouble. Though spiritually fed, the body of Christ has become physically unhealthy, believing that only matters of the soul count whilst losing parts of its members to cardiovascular diseases and other avoidable ailments. Does Christ heal? I believe He undoubtedly does. However, there are physical and spiritual laws governing our bodies.

Eating Clean Food
Our bodies cannot be defiled because of the Holy Spirit of God that resides within. Paul admonishes the believer to flee, especially, sexual sin. We cannot do or put anything in the body unclean. And that includes food, for example. Food? Yes, food such as junk food. “Junk” means garbage. A diet based on fried foods, processed meats, cookies, cakes will eventually breakdown the temple. Ask yourself “what happens when you put unclean fuel in your car?” Or your Mercedes Benz or BMW for that matter? These types of cars require optimum fuel. In other words, your car will eventually incur problems as a result. Likewise, the body will inevitably begin to splutter and cough like an old car. However, for the Bible, quantity is just as important as quality as well.

Practicing Moderation
As believers, we are also to practice moderation. We are to consider our portions or the amount we eat or drink. Do we really need all of that food on our plate? If we continue to over feed our physical appetite, we put it at odds with the spiritual appetite. In other words, instead of the body and the spirit working in harmony to carry out the plan of God, they become in direct competition. If the body is fed too much of anything, it will self-destruct, leaving the spirit without a house.

To understand the importance of respecting the body is the first step towards living a healthy lifestyle. Until the Holy Spirit’s place of habitat is treated with honor, we cannot expect to live the abundant life that Christ suffered, died and was resurrected for.
