Gooblek
is a 2-to-1 suspension of cornstarch in water. It acts like a liquid if you
move it slowly, but a solid if you hit it or squeeze it. Click below for info

The Omnivore's Conclusion
Here's a long NY Times article by Michael Pollan, the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma that I recommend you read, a further diatribe on the shortcomings of the American Diet. His conclusion? Try to eat more food.

Asparagus Pee Book Report
![]() The book is presented in three parts, where each part ends with a meal reflecting that section's theme. In the first section, the author follows a bushel of corn from an Iowa cornfield to a meal at McDonald's. In the second, he investigates "big organic," culminating in a meal built around a "free-range" chicken from Petaluma named "Rosie," then contrasts that with a real organic meal from a small grass-fed chicken farm managed in the true spirit of organic agriculture, recycling waste, maintaining the viability of the land, and keeping the livestock healthy and relatively happy. In the third and last section, he serves a meal composed of only those things he either killed, grew, or gathered himself. (It confused me greatly this evening that the book has only three big sections, but the subtitle is "A Natural History of Four Meals" but then again, I read it a few weeks ago, and I eventually figured it out.) I think the greatest lessons I brought home from this book are:
I am not a huge worrier about foodstuffs I'll pretty much stick anything in my face that tastes good. But if you want to worry about food, my advice is simple: try to eat as low on the food chain as possible and don't eat anything unless you take the time to learn what it's made of see, it turns out that Soylent Green is actually corn! Co-o-rn! (Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Heston.) Labels: books, diet, food, reviews
