Why Do We Eat This Crap?

Posted on August 13, 2010November 1, 2021

There’s an article on the front page of KSL today that examines why we crave the stuff that’s bad for us. Most people feel that they are overweight because they eat to much and that’s true, but to much is hard to judge anymore. If you talk to most people they will tell you the…

Evil Wrapped in Chocolate

Posted on April 9, 2008November 1, 2021

My buddies at work find bacon chocolate chip cookies. That is gross and disturbing. My wife found a recipe for truffles made with Oreos mixed with cream cheese and coated with white chocolate. This represents everything that is wrong and right with our society all at once. We’re going to make some for game night.

Bad Food

Posted on May 19, 2007November 1, 2021

I have eaten a lot of bad food over the past few days which is too bad given that Portland has good restaurants. The main source of bad food is the Rails conference. A WORD TO CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS: Stale pastry and coffee do not count as breakfast. Lunch is not much better. It is so…
