Here’s a concept to think about: the word “diet” is firmly, firmly linked with the idea of plates of steamed, flavourless vegetables and heaps of dry brown rice. Crack open dozens of fitness-centric diet guides and you’ll find all sorts of lifeless, depressing suggestions.
Not To Pick on Anyone…
Off the top of my head, I remember [...]

The world-famous Mediterranean diet comes in a lot of forms. It was popularized by a diet book way back in the 70s (or at some point around then), and is still held up today — at least anecdotally — as one of the world’s best and most delicious diets.

The “8 glasses of water per day” argument gets thrown around a lot in pretty much every diet/nutrition/piece of advice you can find. Your doctor has probably suggested it too. But is it really necessary? Is it the right amount?
Here’s the thing — there was a study published in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania [...]

The other day, I saw a story about Domino’s Pizza and their “risky” new ad campaign.

A commenter recently asked us a question about how milk fits into the ‘real food’ framework, and whether or not we still drink it. Since you guys are absolutely invaluable when it comes to giving us subjects and ideas to write about, we’re going to talk about milk, too!
So our main question is not whether [...]
