Japanese Ramen Philanthropist Says "Fill 'Em Up!"
timothy writes "Matt Fischer's ramen page is never something to ignore (especially if you like to vary your ramen choices by creative additions), but a few days ago reported an admirable act of charity that I would like to see extended, perhaps even to my own house (please make it some Jha Jhan Myun packets, the kind with oil, veggies, and powder). An anonymous customer walked into an Osaka ramen shop and left (in yen; be creative) more than $10,000, with the instruction to use the money to feed kids. Makes me nostalgic for Juzo Itami's masterpiece Tampopo." -

The Single Man's Guide To TV Dinners
yokimbo writes "The Food Network had a show about TV dinners and how they're prepared, their history, etc... But, what about the useful information, like how they taste? Ray Cole has your solution at The Single Man's Guide to TV Dinners. Although, I think he needs to visit Web Pages That Suck." (Of course, TV dinners don't scream out the way ramen does for improvement and improvisation.) -
Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way
urbazewski writes "As spring gets underway (in the northern hemisphere anyway) it's a good time to start undoing the effects of a winter's worth of websurfing and gameplaying on your physical condition. A meta-analysis of studies of currently popular low carbohydrate diets by doctors at Stanford and Yale reveals that they are really just low calorie diets in disguise: 'findings suggest that if you want to lose weight, you should eat fewer calories and do so over a long time period." John Walker's 'engineer's approach' to losing weight is built around this astonishing insight, as described in his online book/weight loss plan The Hacker's Diet. The spreadsheets are out of commission, but the basic insights are an excellent antidote to fad diets." Ramen, Ramen, Ramen is not on the approved list.
