Every recipe in the world and/or online oligarchy - Daily Links

Well I'll be damned! Food Oligarchy - call the henchmen!

Yummly for every recipe you've ever needed
Yummly will even tell you about recipes for food that hasn't been invented yet.

Oenophiles have been looking down their noses at beer drinkers since time began. But the past few years have given grape-lovers a particularly powerful weapon against the unwashed masses of grain-supporters: health claims. A series of studies showed that red wine had life-extending health benefits, possibly because of a chemical called resveratrol, unmatched by any other alcoholic beverage. Two recent studies, though, may turn the tables on smug wine drinkers.

I know it's a bit out of season, but Chi-town has some great shakes - even for the colder months.

By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use (sources: FAO and NASA). Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to avoid this impending disaster?



Very interesting report from our friends at BurgerBusiness.com, who’ve let it slip that Burger King is selling new thicker fries, at least in the Chicago market. Has anyone tried them?
