Sometimes the food you eat is trying to kill you. Not in the traditional sense, with saturated fat, refined sugars and cholesterol. There are a few foods out there that can literally end your life if improperly prepared, or at the very least make you terribly sick.

Barbequing on holidays is a must in my book, especially if the weather is great like it should be this weekend.

If you frequently crave fatty foods, it may not just be a lack of willpower. In fact, it could be genetic.
Research finds people with certain forms of the CD36 gene — which enables animals to both detect and develop preferences for fat — could prefer less-healthy edibles more than those who have other forms of the gene.
We all have our favorite football foods but it seems like during the Super Bowl we have a Super Menu to match. From chips and dips, special appetizers to all out feasts for the day. Here are a few foods that generally make the Super Menu and maybe a few new ones you haven't tried.
Super Bowl Sunday could also be called heartburn Sunday, since many of the snacks that are traditionally consumed during the big game are less than stomach-friendly.
What’s the Super Bowl about, really? Unless you’re a supporter of one of the two teams participating (or have a very large wager on the game) even serious sports fans can get caught up in all the chili-baking, party-attending, big-screen-TV-buying hoopla surrounding this unofficial national holiday.

On September 15th 2011 the prison kitchen in Huntsville Texas prepared it's last, last meal for Texas death row inmate Lawrence Brewer, one of the three men convicted of the 1998 dragging death of James Byrd Jr. in Jasper Texas. Before Brewer was executed in the Huntsville Unit, he was given his last meal he requested. It consisted of: two chicken-fried steaks with gravy, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, egg and cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and jalapenos, a bowl of fried okra, one pound of barbecued sliced brisket meat with half a loaf of bread, three fajitas, a meat-lover’s pizza, one pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream Rock Road, some peanut butter fudge and three ice cold root beers. All the food was prepared and delivered to him, however Brewer refused to eat any of it. He was making a mockery of the system. The "last request" so angered State Senator John Whitmire chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
