Read what my Dad had to say about lunchmeat a while back.
You think you know, but you have no idea
By now, you've probably stopped reading articles about the food crisis by now. You probably read a few at first, and a few turned to two a week, at best. Now your eyes skim by as journalists continue to cover this problem that's plaguing people around the world. But as long as it doesn't directly affect you (except where prices are concerned), who cares, right?For a pared-down, concise, but still informative look at what you do (but mostly what you don't) know about the food crisis, check out National Geographic's quiz, What's up with the food crisis?
The quiz discloses the answers to such questions as "does buying U.S.-grown rice deprive struggling economies of income?" and "which two countries are having the greatest effect on the global grain market?"
And if you're not completely depressed by the results to the food crisis quiz, see how much you know about the safety of your produce.
Fun food quiz: Which one has more calories?

Around here, we're all about taking quizzes (at least I am). I just can't seem to say no to something that wants to test my ability to guess the correct answer, and over the years I've gotten pretty good at it.
Imagine my delight at finding this quiz over at Mental Floss. Technically, it's a lunch time poll, but it's fun at any time of the day. There are ten questions, and you have to guess which of two items has the higher calorie count. I only got 60% right, so I was a little disappointed (some of the questions are a bit tricky). Take it and see how you do. Then come back and let us know your score in the comments section.

Guess your celebrity chef kitchen quiz

Dan over at The Food in My Beard has created a hilariously goofy TV Chef Kitchen Quiz, which you cooking show fans should check out stat. He's basically taken stills from the shows and erased the person from the scene, leaving behind a blurry white blank that looks like a Yeti's taken over at the frying pan for Rachel Ray. The game is to guess what show it is by looking at the kitchen. How well do you know Paula Dean's cabinets, Giada de Laurentiis's tile backsplash? Basically, just how much time do you spend in front of the Food Network every night? If you guess them all right, we may have to stage some sort of cooking show intervention, or get you a puppy.
Earth Day: What's your plan?

Tell us, we want to know: what are you doing today (or what do you do everyday) in celebration of the earth?

Bored? Quiz yourself on food knowledge
Between beef recalls and threats of mad cow disease, the simple action of eating is quickly becoming less of a pleasurable activity and more of a chore, or, in some cases, a big wager.Think you know your salmonella from your E.Coli? Feeling bored? Test your smarts with National Geographic's food safety quiz. Yes, I know, online quizzes are pretty nerdy, but this one actually provides you with decent information. After you answer each question, the site gives you a brief synopsis of the topic, so you can bulk up on your food safety knowledge for your next dinner party.
Or, even better: when the weather gets warmer and you attend a picnic, turn to your friend as she takes her first bite of chicken salad and bust out with, "Did you know that food borne illnesses are more common in warmer weather?" and watch her spit out her food and glare at you. If nothing else, your new found knowledge will provide you with hours of entertainment.
And when you're finished with that quiz, you can get to know your inner organic foodie. Because, seriously, we know you have nothing better to do.
Test your organic food knowledge

You try to buy organic food because everything you read and hear on the news says it's better for you. But do you actually know much about what you are buying? What do the labels and messages mean? If have to chose between buying an organic peach or an organic banana, which is a better use of your food dollars? National Geographic has put together a fun quiz as part of their Green Guide that tests your organic food knowledge.
Test your brain on eggs
The Partnership for a Drug Free America is famous for using a fried egg analogy in their public service announcements in the 80s and 90s. Those eggs didn't fare too well in the ads, but eggs are actually quite good for you. Test your egg knowledge in this quick and easy true/false quiz from the Detroit Free Press:
- One egg supplies 10% of the protein you need in one day.
- Eggs are a good source of vitamins A and D.
- When a recipe calls for eggs, you should use extra large.
- If you are trying to cut down on cholesterol, in most recipes you can substitute the whites of two eggs for one whole egg.
- Grading, such as AA, A and B, indicates quality rather than size.
- Eggs as old as five weeks that have been stored in the refrigerator are safe to use.
- Free-range eggs are more nutritious than other eggs.
- Fertilized eggs have a longer shelf life than unfertilized eggs.
Take the foodie quiz
The foodie quiz is a fun little way to waste a couple minutes of the morning and maybe have a little laugh or two while you're at it because it is certainly not a serious quiz in any way. If it were serious, it is highly unlikely that one of the answers, right or wrong, would suggest that the correct solution to a minor restaurant dilemma is to "grab the waiter by his neck, shove him in a tiny crate, which you load into the hold of a plane bound for Auckland, while shouting: 'How would you like it, you animal abusing spawn of the devil?'"
The quiz is intended to test your knowledge of general foodie issues, kitchen trends and food movements. I scored 42 out of a possible 45 (the higher the score, the better), which apparently makes me a "gastro-warrior." Take the quiz and get back to us here in the comments to let us know how you fared!
