FYI: Dolphin Chefs
• There were many important Bowls yesterday — the Super Bowl, the Puppy Bowl, and Philadelphia's annual Wing Bowl. This year's winner was a scrappy 23 year old who goes by the pseudonym "Super Squib" and ate 203 wings. [Philadelphia Daily News]
• Also in honor of the Super Bowl, a Chicago pizzeria shipped 2,000 pizzas to Illinois National Guard members stationed in Afghanistan. Let no one be denied the American dream of drinking beer and eating pizza and jalapeno poppers on Super Bowl Sunday! [Chicago Tribune]
• Dolphins prepare their cuttlefish before eating it! Scientists have found that they undertake an intensive process to clean out ink and cartilage, resulting in calamari-grade meat. [Reuters/Boston Globe]
• Food irradiation (to prevent contamination outbreaks) has been on the table for the past ten years, but has never taken off. There are many reasons, but the biggest is fear that consumers would probably not react well to food with the label "radiated." [NYT]
• The current salmonella scare seems inevitable in the face of the following: the health inspector who visited the main peanut plant responsible found only two health violations. They were minor, at that. [AP/LA Times]
