The Food Issue

December 16, 2011March 26, 2017

THIS TWO-MINUTE YOUTUBE WILL CHANGE (AND EXTEND) YOUR LIFE

Seriously.

IF IT DOESN’T SMELL BAD, IT’S PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT

Mark Lefler: “Ever return from a trip with the clocks blinking 12:00 and wondered how long the power was off and if the food in the fridge was still safe to eat? A simple, free solution in my video.”

(Cooking Like a Guy™ Executive Summary of Mark’s Good Video: Put a plastic cup of ice cubes in the freezer. If they’ve melted and refrozen as a solid lump, you know the power must have been off a long time. Cooking Like a Guy™ Lower Tech System: What do you think your nose is for?)

COOKING CARROTS LIKE A GUY

Healthy, cheap, horses like them . . . and here’s the thing most people don’t seem to know: You don’t need to scrape (or “pare”) – let alone cook – them. Just rinse and eat. (Salt or whinny if you like.)

FORKS OVER KNIVES

The two-minute clip I led off with is the trailer to this documentary. Seriously: watch it.
