There’s been a ton of talk about H1N1 Influenza — known as “swine flu” — and the 109 cases reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But, name or no name, unless you keep kosher or are a vegetarian, pigs are still completely safe to eat, officials say.

Stuffed peppers are an old Italian standby. Usually it involves fatty ground beef and white rice, maybe with some cheese crammed into a bell pepper. It’s delicious homestyle comfort food that’s easy to prepare
The problem is that they’re awful for you. It’s ground red meat with tons of fat, and the cheese doesn’t make it [...]

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Meeting my mom on her lunch break was nice. Having my father join us was even better. Gazing at the menu trying to determine combinations that didn’t include french fries … not quite as pleasant.

Oh my god this is painful. I am working on a story for the Boston Globe here in Middleborough, and the only place I could find with wireless Internet to file my story is … a McDonald’s.
I’m totally not a paying customer. I’m not buying anything, especially French fries.

This is the first in a 50-part food series called “No Fries in ‘09.” I am pledging not to eat a single french fry in 2009 (as well as eat sensibly and exercise regularly) all year and come up with 50 delicious side dishes that are filling, healthy and NOT french fries.
