Did you know that babies born to women who ate a lot of bacon while pregnant are more intelligent?
I didn't, along with these other amazing facts about bacon. This creative info-graphic points out 10 interesting facts concerning this "miracle meat". I guess I won't feel guilty anymore about wanting to try the Baconator from Wendy's... Well, until someone publishes the 10 Ways Bacon Kills Us of course.
If you don't eat bacon because of the way pigs are farmed, then you'll be a fan of Birke Baehr who is an eleven year old that can sum up what's wrong with America's food supply in 5 minutes.
He's a very bright kid and is real passionate about the subject. It's nice to see a kid take an active role in trying to influence his peers for the better and causing people to think about how our food is being produced.
On another note, we get product emails pitched at us all the time here at Diet-blog and most usually end up in the trash folder, however, there are a few that make me go, Huh? Like this new Diet Hand Gel that you simply use like hand lotion between meals to curb your appetite.
This green tea based product is said to absorb through the skin, reducing cravings between meals. I wonder if it just smells so bad that when you put your hand close to your nose to snack on something it makes you lose your appetite? Hmmm.
Lastly, this week I stumbled on a great site that has animated demonstrations for just about every stretch and strength training exercise imaginable. If you're looking for new exercises to spice up your workout or need some lessons on proper form without the expense of a personal trainer, check out ABC-of-Fitness.com.
