A new study says that men think about these two things more than sex. What?
A: Food and sleep
Men think about sex once an hour, but on average thought about food and sleep more often. Men think about all three more than women.
Says Professor Terry Fisher, the psychologist at Ohio State University who did the study, “Men are more aware of need-related states such as being hungry or tired or sexually aroused, and focus on those. They are also better at detecting these states in themselves than women and more willing to express their thoughts.”
Do you ever wonder where your food comes from? Some foods travel great distances to get to our table. But what if we only ate local food? Doing so supports local farmers, reduces our carbon footprint and can actually make us healthier! Except, it’s not necessarily that easy.
TVCOGECO called me up and told me about a special documentary series that they were working on and asked me to narrate the special. I think it’s a great “local” documentary and it premieres tonight on TV. Have a look at the teaser below.
The television premiere of the documentary series Eat Local Challenge is Thursday November 11th at 8:00 pm on TVCOGECO Kingston cable channel 13, Brockville cable channel 10, Smith Falls cable channel 10 and Belleville cable channel 4. Eat Local Challenge can also be seen on TVCOGECO Video on Demand later in the month of November. More info at TVCOGECO.
It caused quite a stir in the states and now KFC’s new double down sandwich is coming to Canada October 18th. I guess my co-workers who crossed the border to try one of these a few months ago are kicking themselves now when they just could’ve waited a month or two. FOR A LIMITED TIME you can try this bunless sandwich. Here’s how it’s made: it’s 2 pieces of the original recipe boneless chicken, two pieces of bacon and processed Pepper Jack cheese — all topped off with the Colonel’s savoury, secret sauce. OMG!!!! They say the DD has so much 100 % premium seasoned chicken there was no room for a bun!
What about the fat and calorie content??? Contrary to myth and speculation, Double Down has less, fat and calories than a deluxe burger with fries; a large restaurant sandwich; or a big steak dinner with all the fixings.
