You're a healthy specimen we should all go to for food and life advice!

Nothing wrong with it, but she had a nose job, should probably figure that into our predictive models. Where's Nate Silver when you need him (haha, just kidding, he's having a spat with Princeton at the moment, obvi).

I honestly always find this argument about soy meats so tiresome and one dimensional. See my response above if you want to know what I mean.

Because food is connected to a multitude of emotions and feelings that go back to our childhoods, our personal relationships, our emotional histories, etc. and that sometimes "American-style tacos" can help cheer a person up, even if the beef is soy, because it's, say, connected to a time in their life when their…

Don't worry, the people around you have to be around someone so insufferable. Everybody loses!

A lot of things can affect how you react to the bite. How allergic you are to the toxins,…

I was bit by one when I was visiting Austin for my friend's wedding and staying a cute l'il Airstream trailor for a week. It was the day before the wedding and I was performing the ceremony so I didn't want to make a big deal and ruin everything. Plus, there's really not much they can do for you other then cut away…
