  1. Hi Darya,

    The saturated fat thing is outrageous – you know there is a movement for (and thankfully also against!) a butter tax here in the UK… way to make me mad!

    I was also wondering what your opinion was on coffee. I did a research piece on coffee for my blog

    – partly for fun and partly for self justification :). Anyway the upshot of my research seems to be there is harm in consumption, apart from that linked to increased heart rate, anxiety, sleeplessness etc … all of which are quite apparent through self observation. I know I cant drink lots of coffee or I do get anxious…. but I now feel fine about having a cup or two a day, without worrying about hidden dangers. ..

    However, I know you used to drink coffee and have now stopped so I was wondering why that was.. future Summer Tomato Live episode?

    Happy Friday! ps – sorry if its really bad form to link to my blog directly – never sure about these things!

    “Apparently there are naturally occurring steroids in mustard greens that work like anabolic steroids. Who knew?”

    Am I the only one who’s mind went straight to Popeye with this one? I know, I know, Mustard Greens and Spinach aren’t the “Same Thing,” but come on… you all were thinking it too!

    I love Yelp. Lots of chances to review restaurant space, food, and service as a patron. Also like that you have a more enclosed space to search for keywords of things you are interested in. It also gives owners/managers a chance to reach back out to those where things had gone wrong in a visit they mention in a review and ask for a chance to make it right. Also another way for owners/managers to reach out to their customer base to look for unfiltered, constructive feedback and reward their evangelists. There’s a lot of gibberish and “self-promotion” on there, but I find a lot of it very useable when keeping all in perspective – especially when traveling to a new city.

What do you think?
