The burger sat on one side while the lettuce and tomato occupied the other. "Keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool," the ads for the McDLT…#mcdonald #mcdlt #archdeluxe #mclean #bigmac #newzealand #qsrburgerking #mcsaladburger #mcdonaldsaladburger #saladburger (Source: Reuters: Health)

How to Start Foraging for Vegetables in the Sea

Good wild eats, however, aren’t just limited to those near the forests. If you’re in a coastal state and heading to the beach for one last summer swim, there may still be time to indulge in one of the most underrated native foods in your area: sea vegetables.

Crops grown without sunlight could help feed astronauts bound for Mars
Riverside, California—
For the first astronauts to visit Mars, what to eat on their 3-year mission will be one of the most critical questions. It’s not just a matter of taste. According to one recent estimate, a crew of six would require an estimated 10,000 kilograms of food for the trip. NASA—which plans to send people to Mars within 2 decades—could stuff a spacecraft with prepackaged meals and launch additional supplies to the Red Planet in advance for the voyage home. But even that wouldn’t completely solve the problem.
Micronutrients, including many vitamins, break down over months and will need to...

Kate Hanselman’s home is like a shrine to hobbies past and present. There’s fencing gear from previous lessons, and two pairs of shoes she used during her love affair with rock climbing. “I find yarn everywhere because I love knitting, and I have a whole set of embroidery stuff,” she says.
