Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver whips up a batch of pink slime

It's enough to make Adam Sandler's song "Lunch Lady" sound like a utopian fantasy ("got no idea what the chicken pot pie is made of..."). Sadly, we do know what the hamburger patties served by the national school lunch program are made of, and it isn't pretty. A recent article from TheDaily.com reveals in stomach-turning detail how a substance dubbed "pink slime" by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver continues to be purchased and used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the national school lunch program, even after being shunned by such notoriously unchoosy establishments as McDonald's and Taco Bell. Finish your lunch, then read on to learn what your kids might be eating today.

Ding-dong! This creep coming to a doorstep near you. With fries.

​In a desperate, fat-fueled attempt to pull ahead of McDonald's in the fast-food race, the LA Times reports that Burger King will begin testing home delivery service at selected restaurants in the Washington, D.C., area. Just another approach in Burger King's never-ending quest to let you "have it your way," especially if "your way" means never having to leave your couch or get out of your sweatpants.

Soon, that cup could be filled with merlot!

​Times are tough for America's restaurant owners.  McDonald's is planning a large-scale makeover for many of its restaurants, hoping to make them more 'chic.'  Wendy's has reworked its menu, changing to natural-cut fries and new burgers. Even Subway is getting in on the act, introducing Subway Cafes.

Not to be outdone, America's favorite broker of bitsy burgers, White Castle, has quietly been testing a couple of new piggy-back brands--think Arby's/Sbarro or A&W/KFC--that are located inside of or adjacent to White Castles. But more interestingly, White Castle has also been testing in-store sales of the one thing that makes White Castle infinitely more appealing: booze!

Wait--we thought the Grinch was green...

​For those people out there who don't make a habit of watching paid political ads on YouTube, you may be surprised to learn that America is currently at war. No, we're not talking about the drawn-out wars in far-off lands like Iraq or Afghanistan. We're talking about the war right here at home--against Christmas, of all things.

The shadowy enemy is hard to identify: They hide their evil intentions behind the very convenient excuses of being "multicultural" or "inclusive" or even "not being religious zealots."  But, lucky for America, the American Family Association is watching out for us.

And according to the AFA, one Minnesota company can expect coal in its stocking this year.

​Morgan Wilson, a former finalist on the Top Chef: Just Desserts, has been indicted on felony child pornography charges. Wilson appeared on the first season of the reality cooking competition, a spin-off of the popular Top Chef series which runs on Bravo.

A man's diet: his wife's breast milk.

Well, this is a new one. A man named Curtis has begun blogging about his attempts to eat or drink nothing but his wife's massive stash of breast milk for as long as he possibly can. Decide for yourself it you think it's legit.

The wife says she's accumulated 162 gallons of the liquid food through the course of birthing and breast-feeding three children. On the blog, she explains that donating the milk wasn't a practical option, so her 6-foot-4, 185-pound husband decided to use it as a food source, drinking 66 ounces a day to get his recommended 2,000 calories.

After three days, things seem to be going rather well. On day two, he penned:

Is Wisconsin dairy in danger?

Who even knew that Wisconsin has a law making it illegal for restaurants to serve margarine?

The 44-year-old law was intended to protect the state's famous dairy industry, and now some legislators are looking to repeal it, led by Republican state Rep. Dale Kooyenga, a 32-year-old Brookfield accountant who learned about the law by Googling "'stupid Wisconsin laws," the Chicago Tribune reports. Kooyenga says the law is anti-free-market and thinks that allowing state institutions to switch to margarine could save money.
