The Onion Food Funnies

My husband sent me this today and it cracked me up...I think it's a passive aggressive protest about my having bought a jar of organic peanut butter that he had to stir to mix in the oils. But that's just a hunch...

Use Of Organic Peanut Butter Adds Two Minutes To Local Man's Life
BERKELEY, CA–Vincent Dunst, manager of a Berkeley-area food cooperative, has added two minutes to his life by consuming organic peanut butter instead of major brands, health-food experts reported Monday. "Store-bought brands like Jif and Skippy are loaded with artificial emulsifiers and preservatives. Some of them even contain brown dyes to make them look more 'peanut buttery,'" Dunst said. "This all-natural Sunset Farms peanut butter contains absolutely nothing but fresh peanuts and a little bit of sea salt–and, as an added bonus, the jar is glass instead of plastic." Dunst has also added 22 seconds to his life by starting off each day with a frosty, fiber-rich "Bulgur Smoothie."

I also happened to spot this one today on Serious Eats:

8-Year-Old Forced to Eat Organic Macaroni and Cheese
A spot on Onion Radio News: "Despite the fact that 8-year-old Joshua Remmert can't stand the sight or smell of Annie's Homegrown mac and cheese, the young boy was forced against his will by his own mother to choke down an entire plate of the organic pasta yesterday."
