As the Web 2.0 era progresses, the overshare is getting more and more refined. It’s not enough to tell your friends where you are at all times. You tell them what you’re doing, how you’re feeling, and most importantly of all, what you’re eating.
Into this unsavory mix comes FoodFeed, a twitter mod devoted entirely to what you, and others like you, are eating right now.
In addition to providing dieticians with some fascinating research fodder, we can’t help but think it’ll be useful to the restaurant industry. Also, as research will confirm, there are currently two people eating jello and one person eating soap.
O brave new world

It’s all about medium in the art world these days. And as far as mediums go, it’s hard to get hotter than grease.
So it’s not surprising that we ended up with this grease-based Mona Lisa. More surprisingly, it only took ten double burgers to paint the twelve foot likeness. It’s more PR stunt than art—the idea is to show how much grease is actually in one of those things—but Mona herself may be too alluring to make the stunt work.
To be honest, we just feel hungry.
Witness the creation of the Mona Greasa»

We’re well-acquainted with the internet’s insatiable love of bacon, but we’re still glad to see it getting a bit of play in the mainstream press.
Over the past few months, there’s been a web-based rush to invent the most bizarre bacon creation possible (if you were wondering, it’s here) but as strange as the creations seem, the impulse is simpler than you might think. Bacon has always been a bizarre food. It just took the web to show us exactly how bizarre it was. And as usual, the web got a little carried away.
Then again, we’re pretty happy about this…so it’s not all bad.

As you may have noticed, the internet’s gone a bit bacon crazy in the past year or so. But we always assumed it would stop before it got dangerous.
We were wrong.
This is the latest entry in the bacon wars, a protein-packed cannoli of death known as the Flaming Bacon Lance. It’s made entirely of prosciutto—which we like to think of as weapons-grade bacon—and it spits enough flame to melt through a stainless steel tray.
There’s even a cucumber model for a vegetarian equivalent…but somehow it’s just not the same.
