I wonder how many parents actually realize what sort of garbage their kids are putting in to their mouth in the public school cafeterias? Well, looking at these pictures of school lunch menu from the Harrisonburg School district in Virginia definitely brings back some school dinner traumas to myself.



What is also notable, that these pictures are not taken by disappointed students, but they have bee put to the internet by the school system officials themselves.

Would you say that some tastes are worth dying for? Well, that’s how grill located in Phoenix Arizona is advertizing it’s menu. The Bigges burger on the fittingly named “Heart Attack Grill” menu is called Quadruple Bypass Burger. The burger has no less than 8000 Calories (That’s about four times the amount of calories recommended for a grown man to consume per day!). On the side of your burger you might want to enjoy some filter free cigarettes, Jolt Cola with extra coffein and off course fries deepfired in pure lard!
Well, if it brings any comfort, at least the grill waitresses are dressed up as nurses. Heart attack Grill as featured in the Japanese TV after the jump.

A recent government study reveals that over one quarter of all food in the United States goes to waste every year. To be excact, 27% of all edible food goes to waste, which adds up to the astonishin total amount is 96.4 (of 356) billion pounds of food. This means that about one pound of food is thrown to the trash every day by each US citizen.
Another astonishing fact is, that currently there is about one billion people on our planet, which suffer from obesity. At the same time there is about one billion people, who suffer from constant malnutrition.
I don’t mean to preach or anything. Just makes you think, doesn’t it?

Mike Trevino had an extremely unpleasant surprice while taking his first bite on Abba Zaba candybar. I can already feel the bolt on my teeth just by looking at the picture. Nasty!

Me and my spouse have a birthday related tradition - each birthday the hero of the day gets to wish for look a for the birthday cake he/she will receive. So far the realized wishes have included for example Spiderman, an elk, Hobbes, etc. One thing that never crossed my mind though was to wish for a cake which would look like cat litter. However it seems, that the imagination of some people do not seem to have limits. Here is a cake baked by Andrea James, which indeed does look like cat litter.
The detailed instructions on how to bake your own cat litter cake can be found from here (particularly noteworthy is the instruction to use fresh, NON USED litterbox)

Do you fancy eggs? me to - just prefer to eat them before the embryo inside has a peck an feathers. The people in Cambodia apparently think differently, as a duck-egg-delicacy called balut is a great treat loved by the locals. The trick of preparing balut is to let the the embryo inside the egg to develop until the bird inside is nearly ready to see the daylight. When the embryo inside is right, the egg is boiled and served with a pich of salt on top.
The Cambodian locals enjoy their Balut normally as a night time snack, accompanied with a cold beer.

Personally I think that Absinthe tastes pretty much what I imagine that rat poison would taste like. Then again, there’s always the possibility of “cool hallicinations”, when consumed in substancial abounts. A private candy company lollyphile has come up with an idea to manyfacture lollipops out of absinthe. “made with real (and completely legal!) absinthe”
Awailable to order today for the price of $10 for a box of four.
