Gordon Ramsay Suggests Seasonal Foods be Enforced By Law
Great, another blow of 3rd world farmers.
I feel a lot more sorry for those Kenyan strawberry farmers than some spoiled British foodies.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 17: Is Exercise Truly a Food Critic's Best Friend?
Riding a bike is nice, but unless you are going up lots of hills or racing, you are not pushing yourself, building muscles, and increasing your basal metabolic rate.
But like everyone will tell you, the best exercise is the one you will keep doing.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 14: Don't Bring a Scale to New Orleans
Just count calories, and don't lie to yourself. Computers make it pretty simple so that it's pretty easy to estimate once you know the basic weight/size of common foods. You can even bring a little pocket scale to weigh food.
Of course once you stop lying to yourself it gets pretty painful to eat one of those po'boys every day. Means you cannot have much else to eat.

Go read the Omnivore's Dilemma chapter on Corn, fantastic reporting.

Nice to see David Rosengarten, sad that Food Network has all his Taste episodes locked up.
If you were to start your own food network, who would you have?
First let's assume you don't get current Food network programming, or anything else currently on Television.
I'd get rights to the old Frugal Gourmet shows, the ones before his assistant joined him on air.
I'd try to get rights to the old Taste series with David Rosengarten (unlikely since Food Network won't let anything out of their clutches).
I'd get rights to all the UK cooking/food/historical shows we never see like:
Rosemary Shrager's Cooking School
Victorian Kitchen
In Search of Perfection (Heston Blumenthal's show)
French Leave John Burton Race
Kitchen Criminals
The F Word
The original uncensored UK Kitchen Nightmares
Jamie's School Dinners
Jamie's Kitchen (2002)
Ever Wondered About Food
Cooking in the Danger Zone
The Wartime Kitchen and Garden
Escape to River Cottage
Cooking on the Wild side
Return to River Cottage

River Cottage Forever
All the old Keith Floyd series

Next time, follow the default recipe on the box, and don't pick a low rated cake mix (Duncan Hines got a poor rating).
Cook's Country rated the Betty Crocker Butter Recipe Yellow the highest.

Is there a Rice Cooker without an Aluminum Insert?
All the non-stick ones are still aluminum.
I've never seen one that isn't aluminum.
Cooking with Kids: "Nitrate-Free" Hot Dogs, Now With More Nitrates
All this talk reminds me so much of "natural flavors", put the word natural in front of something, and people assume it's better.
People hear "celery juice" and think... oh that sounds wholesome. They do not realize the level of nitrates in concentrated celery juice extract.
The worst part is these "uncured" meats generally taste inferior since the celery juice extract adds off flavors and doesn't give the same quality cure as the normal cures.

Never, but the toad in the hole looks like a good version!

A Trip to the Butcher
In the Bronx - one of the great butcher shops in NYC is Biancardi's on Arthur Ave just two doors north of the retail market. I've been going there for over 12 years and Sal (Biancardi) is my go-to guy. I get great service and I can call ahead and order anything I need - they do it just the way I ask. So ... go ahead and take the time to create a relationship with your butcher; the better they know you and you know them - and, well, it all shows up on the plate when you sit down to eat. (Looking for great fish? Cross the street and to your left - look for the blue awning that says Randazzo Brothers.)

OMG - I'm so there. The lower sodium idea sounds like a good one tho. I love salt as much as any 3 men, but that might be a lil crazy.

Gordon Ramsay Suggests Seasonal Foods be Enforced By Law
"Everyone should just decide what they want to eat and leave everyone else to do the same."
Ummm, that would lead to a massive collapse of the earth's ability to sustain life and the starvation death of billions of people over the next century or so. I vote for the forced normalization of our consumption habits that prices in the true cost of petroleum. Gordon's approach might be ham handed but it's way better than doing nothing.
Everyone is going to have to get used to fact that the human race is going to need to make some RADICAL changes in how we eat, work, live and travel. This means you.
"What about products that just aren't available naturally in the UK, like chocolate or pistachios?"
Its statements like this that expose the fundamental lack of understanding of what we're up against.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind... - John Donne

I think a trainer is a great investment. They'll best know how to give you a balance of weights, machines, isometrics and other kinds of resistance work. I like trainers because they instruct, push, and, perhaps best of all, help count reps when you're too dead tired to think.

I just read the Jay Raynor Man83 linked to up top. I loved it. It was so inspirational I went to my gym at lunch to find out when I could get a lesson from a trainer with the machine circuit.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 17: Is Exercise Truly a Food Critic's Best Friend?
I love to ride my bike and I think its a great form of exercise. I think the rule of thumb with any exercise is its better if you get a bit out of breath(or your 75% heart rate-measured by going as hard as you can for 10 mins then that heart rate is 90%), then you know you're burning calories.
I try to do strengthening exercises twice a week, especially those for my core. You could get a personal trainer for a short time. I use a mixture of free weights, a stability ball and sometimes machines. Whatevers available to me at the time.
If you ride your bike for longer than an hour at a hard pace you might want to take a snack.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 17: Is Exercise Truly a Food Critic's Best Friend?
Contrary to advice you've been given, you do not need to race your bike or take on hills to gain cardio benefits. Even if you rode around in "granny gear" for a half-hour, you'd be burning calories and using your muscles.
The best thing about adding exercise to a weight loss plan is that it will help you "shape shift" faster.
