Everything You Need to Know About Caffeine

July 14th 2010 03:10

In humans, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, having the effect of temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks, enjoy great popularity. Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance, but, unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists caffeine as a "multiple purpose generally recognized as safe food substance".

The stimulant effects of Caffeine can keep your brain active overnight and prevent sleep. Caffeine also has diuretic properties when administered in sufficient doses to subjects that do not have a tolerance for it. Regular users, however, develop a strong tolerance to this effect.

The info-graphic below from this-blog-rules contains interesting facts about caffeine such as where it comes from, how it affects your body and its uses (both good and bad).

Organic Vs Non-Organic

June 23rd 2010 03:44

Here is Chuck and Beans take on the Organic Vs Non-Organic debate. Visit the shoebox blog here.

organic vs non organic. Awesome. Those evil bastards! This product is well liked and affordable. It’s also made with deadly toxins that slowly kill you. This product on the other hand is all natural and completely safe. It’s also sold at a ridiculous markup because they know the other stuff is poison.

Brand vs Generic Drugs

June 16th 2010 02:18

Generic Brand products are always cheaper than their big name counterparts, but what is the real difference in quality?
The truth is, it tends to vary from product to product. At the supermarket for example, generic brand items tend to have a reputation for lower quality to go along with the price.
At the pharmacy however, it's a different story. In fact in the USA for example, generic brand drugs are required to be identical to the originals, except the price difference can be huge.

The info-graphic below is by the RIP and will tell you everything you need to know about generic brand drugs. Click on the image to enlarge.

World's Biggest Fruit and Vegetables

March 10th 2010 23:37

For centuries people the world over have obsessed about growing the biggest and best of every fruit and vegetable variety possible. In these modern times, world records are held in higher regard than ever before with seeds from record specimens fetching thousands of dollars on Ebay.
Below are a few giant fruit and vegetable specimens that have broken records in recent times. These images and information sourced from this article by Raina Kelley on Newsweek.

268.8-pound watermelon grown by Lloyd Bright

Hope, Arkansas, is not only the town where Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee got their start but also home of the world’s largest watermelons. The town’s first world-record melon was grown in 1935, and it held the prize for decades. After a brief sojourn in Tennessee, the record once again returned to Hope when Lloyd Bright grew a 268.8-pound behemoth in 2005.

127-pound cabbage grown by Steve Hubacek

Hubacek broke his own world record this year when he displayed this monstrous head of cabbage he’d grown for the Alaska State Fair. Can you imagine the smell if you found a pot big enough to boil it in? And doesn’t it look a little like something from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I’m no wimp when it comes to big food, but this cabbage scares me. Oh, and should you want to grow one (and I hope you don’t), you’re on your own. Hubacek keeps his choice of seed a secret.

82.9-pound rutabaga grown by Scott Robb

I have no idea what one does with a normal-size rutabaga, never mind a world-record one. Wikipedia says it's a turnip and that before pumpkins were readily available, they were carved for Halloween. Either way, Robb knows his way around a giant vegetable. Not only did he also submit a 146.5-pound watermelon to this year’s Alaska State Fair, but his last world record was in 2007 for a 105.9-pound kale. That’s a lot of soup.

John Evans Triptych: Broccoli, Carrot, Kohlrabi

John Evans of Palmer, Alaska, is the king of giant food—the Tiger Woods of huge horticulture, the Michael Jordan of blue ribbons, the Williams sister of ... Okay, you get it. Evans and his wife have 180 first places in both quality and giant vegetable categories, with 18 state and 7 World Records. If you’re wondering, as I was, why all these big veggies are grown so far up north, it’s because Alaska’s summer may be short but the days are long with up to 20 hours of sunlight to nourish the plants.

Monster Marrow

This is not a zucchini. Yes, I know. It certainly looks like one. It is a summer squash, but it’s called marrow (yup, like the stuff in your bones). It’s mostly eaten in the U.K. where they don’t mind bland food. And they grow really, really big ones in England--really big ones. Ken Dade grew this one after a long wet spring and summer (is there any other kind in the U.K.?) and captured the World Record at 113 lbs. Dade’s response: “There is nothing else like it. It is like winning an Olympic gold medal.”

Like fashion, dining changes with the times, ebbing and flowing with new ideas as chefs and restaurant owners try to stand out from the crowd.

The Chicago Tribune asked top Chefs what they thought were the worst dining trends of the last decade. The results are below. Read the full article here

History of TV Dinners

October 19th 2009 12:13

A TV dinner (also called frozen dinner, freezer meal, microwave meal, or ready meal) was first produced in 1953. The first Swanson-brand TV Dinner was produced in the United States and consisted of a Thanksgiving meal of turkey, cornbread dressing, frozen peas and sweet potatoes packaged in a tray like those used at the time for airline food service. Each item was placed in its own compartment. The trays proved to be useful: the entire dinner could be removed from the outer packaging as a unit; the aluminum tray could be heated directly in the oven without any extra dishes; and one could eat the meal directly out of the same tray. The product was cooked for 25 minutes at 425 °F (218 °C) and fit nicely on a TV tray table. The original TV Dinner sold for 98 cents, and had a production estimate of 5,000 dinners for the first year. Swanson far exceeded its expectations, and ended up selling more than 10 million of these dinners in the first year of production. One reason how TV Dinners got their name was their early packaging featured the image of a TV set. Another reason would be that many families would eat these in front of a TV set.
Below are some images of early TV dinners. Do they look more or less appetising than today’s options?
