Eat some food this month

Fred Meyer store

These food days and months are usually more specific. We've had National Chocolate Mousse Day and Great American Pie Month, and even National Eat Something on a Stick Day. But this April holiday covers just about everything.

April is National Food Month.

So...I would suggest that this month you celebrate by eating some food. Take a look at the categories to the right and pick some recipes to make. Or check out Food Network or AllRecipes or Epicurious or one of the many other food sites around the web.

I don't think April is National Drink Month, but I would suggest drinking something with that food.

The Five Second Rule should be used carefully

We've all heard of the Five Second Rule, that food rule that says when you drop a piece of food, as long as you pick it up within five seconds it's still OK to eat. Anything more than five seconds then you should throw it away.

This short film (after the jump) by Sam Lehman shows the two different kinds of the Five Second Rule and how it can be misused. If you drop something on the ground, you have to pick it up within five seconds. However, even if you do pick it up within five seconds, the rule should be thrown out if that food landed in...well, you can see in the video after the jump.

By the way, if you think that a lot of restaurants don't serve you food even after a piece of food has been on the floor for more than five seconds, you're crazy.
