My name is Matt. I ate a lot of processed foods and garbage over the years & I am finally wising up. I am currently teaching myself how to cook tasty, healthy, farm to table style food & will be documenting it all along the way. Now, let's cook some bacon.

eataku:

The Peanut Butter-Bacon-Pickle Burger from Killer Burger in Portland, OR, with their smokey house sauce, mayo and grilled onion…

This looks better than the Doritos taco shell at Taco Bell.

There are tons of myths going around about margarine.   The most famous one is that it’s only one molecule away from plastic.  This is a silly one since a single molecule can change something drastically.   For all we know Goose liver is only one molecule away from a 1978 Buick.  Anyhow, read more about margarine on Snopes.  

(BTW, that shit is gross, eat butter.)

Honestly, when you are at Chipotle and you get 3 pds of meat, cheese, rice, beans, guacamole, and sour cream in a bowl do you think you are making a healthier choice then just wrapping that thing up?

As a followup to Sundays catastrophe with the Guinness black lager—a real Guinness.

Those annoying fruit stickers can, apparently, be quite informative:

  • A 4-number code denotes conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables (pesticides used);
  • A 5-number code beginning with 8 means, organic or not, the fruit or vegetable was genetically modified (GE or GMO);
  • And a 5-number code beginning with 9 means the fruit was organically grown without genetic modification.

Guinness Black. For those times when you want a Guinness, minus all that annoying flavor, body & character. Yelch.

Seems like a pretty cool idea actually.

I’m not a huge fan of the pallet gardens I see lately, but this one I like.

We featured an earlier turn-a-pallet-into-a-garden project here. But still, this is another good how-to. Check out both and compare and contrast! One thing I’m wondering is why nobody seems to decorate their pallet — painting it, or covering it with Unconsumption logos, let’s say. Anyway, here’s the how-to: diy project: recycled pallet vertical garden | Design*Sponge
