Let me start by mentioning that I don’t know if this is for real. I hope not. The video above links to a story on a Japanese researcher who is perfecting a process of making artificial meat from human feces. (Long pause here to let that sink in…OK…ready to go on?) While there’s a lot [...]

As if we fat folk don’t have enough problems already. This isn’t exactly new news – I had heard this years ago – but it did make the news cycle, so I thought it worth a post. From AOL News: If you’re working hard to achieve your New Year’s resolution of losing weight, you may [...]
