Food Trivia

Eating an early dinner, or just skipping it altogether, may increase the amount of fat a person burns at night, a study found.

Food Joke

"Who Needs Food?" It’s breakfast time. Sadie asks her husband Moishe, "Would you like some scrambled eggs, perhaps a piece of toast and grapefruit and coffee to follow?" Moishe replies, "No thanks, it`s this Viagra, it`s really taken the edge off my appetite." At lunchtime, Sadie asks Moishe if he would like something to eat. "How about a bowl of your favourite home made vegetable soup, followed by a cheese and tomato sandwich on rye?" she inquires. Moishe again declines. "It`s this Viagra, it`s really taken the edge off my appetite." Come dinnertime, Sadie asks Moishe if he wants anything to eat. She`ll go to the delicatessen and buy him some food. Would he like a nice juicy lamb chop with a tasty stir-fry followed by apple pie and cream? Again, Moishe says, "No thanks, it`s this Viagra, it`s really taken the edge off my appetite." "Well," Sadie says, "Would you mind getting off me and letting me up? I`m starving."
