Talk about a trend gone amuck… The Dial Corporation has taken food to a place it doesn’t belong, the bathroom…

There’s the new Dial Cranberry body wash with anti-oxidants (see video), and then there ‘s the new line of yogurt and honey body wash…

It isn’t really clear to me how you benefit from washing yourself with food as opposed to eating it, but as we all know there’s a push to have food be more than just than tasty..

But someone still needs to explain the benefits of washing with cranberries…

In this week’s effort to find something new a the market I picked up Trader Joe’s Valencia Peanut Butter with Roasted Flaxseed… The label mentions it contains 320mg ALA Omega-3 per serving, so it must be good for you…

Like most peanut butter it’s not light on calories or fat, but has a very different flavor…

Slightly sweeter than peanut butter, clearly tastes of flaxseed with a salty finish… It’s not the best peanut butter I’ve ever, but it’s a nice change… Keeps with the new trend of jamming as much nutrition into your food as possible…

Some ideas just seem bad on the surface… But if airlines giving away free booze is the start of a new trend, no better occasion than Valentines Day…

Southwest Airlines has announced that in conjunction with Finlandia Vodka they’ll be giving away free Finlandia and juice cocktails on February 14th… Because what really says I love you like a free cocktail at 8 AM….

But better yet, on St. Patrick’s Day it’s complimentary beer day…

The insert in my Southwest seat pocket read…

“At Southwest Airlines we enjoy spending the holidays with you. When you’re onboard during festivals, enjoy one of our spirited selects on the house.”

I’ve been asked the question a hundred times…. If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Pizza with mushrooms and onions…

But then again what are the food we should be eating?

Back in the summer the New York Times ran a story called, “the 11 best food you aren’t eating.”

The piece is back by popular demand…

The story is brilliant for its simplicity…

The writer lists the 11 best, and why….

Enough said…

The top five include

Beets
Cabbage
Swiss chard
Cinnamon
Pomegranate juice
