from the urls-we-dig-up dept

There are so many food choices — but that doesn’t make it any easier to eat healthy foods. Being hard-wired to enjoy sugar, salt and fat doesn’t exactly help either. Diet resolutions for 2012 are just around the corner, but for now, we’ll just point out a few quick links on eating food that might not be that good for you.

• Comparing prison food to school cafetaria food doesn’t make for a very appetizing infographic. It might be interesting to see a comparison that includes astronaut food… or military rations [url]
• Most people think that uncooked cookie dough shouldn’t be eaten because of the raw eggs, but it’s actually the raw flour in store-bought dough that’s the likely culprit for making people sick. Seems like cookie dough manufacturers should start pasteurizing their flour since a significant number of people are intentionally eating unbaked batter. [url]
• Correlation is not the same as causation, but there seems to be a correlation between young men who eat a lot of junk food and having lower-quality sperm. In other news, unhealthy food makes you unhealthy. [url]
• To discover more food-related links, check out what’s floating around in StumbleUpon. [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.
