The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Really Good Stuffing

To take the "almost" out of "it almost tastes like you baked it in the bird" try replacing some or all of the butter with rendered chicken fat or schmaltz.

What a great idea! I keep hearing that it could be unhealthy to bake the bird with the stuffing inside, but I really love the flavor it gives. Thanks for a smart compromise!

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

I love bacon because it cures hang-overs (scientifically proven) and smells wonderful to cook at any time of the day. It makes a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Michael Pollan on Health Care and the Food System

One aspect that I want everyone to remember - NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE FAT BY CHOICE. Meaning that there are some genetic disorders that would require a person to exercise over eight hours a day to achieve a normal weight, even while they are eating a healthy diet. I understand that these people are a very small portion of the larger problem, but to paint all obese people with the same paintbrush is doing disservice to them and to yourself.
I'm the exact opposite - I am thin because of a genetic digestive disorder that doesn't allow my digestive system to properly absorb nutrients. I feel frustrated when people are jealous of me for my weight when they have no idea that I struggle to remain healthy and functional every day. I imagine that people in the opposite situation have it far worse since many people blame them for their weight - not knowing the full story.

Video: How Hard Is It to Milk a Camel?

How is this disgusting? Do you honestly believe that cows always were black and white spotted with very large utters? They weren't - humans have been using husbandry for thousands of years to create a cow line that looks like it does today. You can Google it or go to this website if you don't believe me: http://niazi.com/Milk/holyco.htm
Same thing with turkeys. Have you ever seen a wild turkey? It doesn't look anything like our domestic ones. Before you start shunning animals that wouldn't normally produce milk on a large scale, keep in mind cows didn't either once upon a time.
