First there was the meat dress, and now the eggshell version of the sedan chair. What is it about Lady Gaga surrounding herself with edibles, or at least the iconic symbols of the things we eat? Gaga's entrance to the Grammy Awards last night led the editors at TheStir to posit that the Lady has serious food fetishes (or at least a case of serious food-related drama) going on. Read all about it at TheStir.

Worst Holiday Food Gifts

Love means never having to say you're sorry (thank you, Love Story), and it also means never giving your beloved a canned ham. Or a fruit basket filled not with exotic cherimoyas or passion fruit but a big pile of bananas and Red Delicious apples. OK, it is the thought that counts. But it shouldn't take a trip to The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus to come up with gift ideas that food lovers in your life can drool over. Of course, maybe a canned ham is just the ticket for that special frenemy. The editors over at TheStir give you the lowdown on gift-giving don'ts.

If dining out with your baby has left you wondering if the kids will be in high school before you can enjoy a peaceful restaurant meal, check out the advice from our friends at TheStir. They've laid down five rules that will help you decide where, when, and how to make an away-from-home meal with kids a lot less stressful. For one, don't decide to try the latest four-star chef's place with your pride and joy in tow. Of course you want to expose your children to great cooking at an early age, but maybe baby doesn't want to sit through a seven-course tasting menu. If he could actually do that it might be a matter for the Guinness Book of Records. Visit TheStir for more great tips.

The Stir just posted a story about how Simon Fairlie's new book, Meat, a Benign Extravagance, already has high-profile English vegan activist George Monbiot thinking differently about meat. Monbiot's vegan retraction "I was wrong about veganism" is a delicious read for carnivores.

That doesn't mean you can now scarf down a Big Mac guilt free (environmentally speaking) -- it's all about which meat you eat and how it's raised. Head over to The Stir to read about the 5 ways that meat can be earth friendly...
