The above article debunks the popular myth that you have to sneeze, cough, touch, or even talk to transmit the flu.
I tend to think the ears are a majorly unrealized path to airborn transmission:

In my view, traditional salad, made from current grocery store ingredients, should be something like this:
* Lettuce-based (not spinach or fruit-based)
* Contain 0 to 1 sweet fruits, and if they are included, they should be dried, and not be so abundant as to make the salad particularly swee...read more

See this article: https://thecounter.org/case-against-octopus-farming-cephalopod-aquaculture/
In essence, farming carnivores, such as octopi, may cause depletion of the fish they eat (which in some cases may be entirely wild-caught).

Eel meat is getting progressively more popular in the USA. So, I thought I'd let you all know something.
Freshwater eels, must lay their eggs in the ocean, in the wild (and they must also hatch and develop there). Even farmed eels come from young, wild-caught eels. They do not breed these eel...read more

Question: Do you have to refrigerate peppers?
Answer:
Nope. You sure don't. I don't know why they refrigerate them in stores, unless it's to keep the green ones from turning red or something.
In my opinion, you're better off keeping them unrefrigerated, even if you bought them from the ...read more

Question: What is Yellow Pear?
Answer:
Yellow Pear is a specific breed of heirloom tomato from the eighteen hundreds or so. It is not merely a shape and color of tomato. There are many yellow, pear-shaped tomatoes, but only one is Yellow Pear (capitalized, since it's a proper noun).

There are a few different definitions:
1. A shape of tomato, which is typical of large tomatoes. Not quite round. It need not belong to a large tomato (i.e. Menehune is a small beefsteak-shaped tomato).
2. There is an actual breed of tomato called Beefsteak, which is said to be synonymous wi...read more

Q: What is a slicer?
A: A slicer is a tomato that works well for fresh-eating (whether or not you slice it is beside the point). Some people use the term literally, however (but be aware that some common usage has nothing to do with slicing).

It's like Life cereal, but it tastes like strawberries. That's pretty much what I have to say. No actual berries are in it. It's pretty good cereal. A little sugary.

It's well-known that epazote is said to reduce flatulence from bean dishes.
Bean dishes don't tend to give me gas, but they feel a lot more nutritious to me if I add epazote. I get a stronger feeling of well-being and have more of an appetite for the food. I don't know if it affects anyone el...read more

There's a huge rumor on the Internet that tomatoes taste better unrefrigerated, and pretty much everyone who says anything about it on the Internet believes it.
