So as we ditch the bacon, we can tuck into onions

Expect them to become this years wonder food, like last year's was walnuts

Better brush your teeth and gargle mouthwash after eating it .

So, no bacon cheeseburgers, but you can still have the side of onion-rings!

I don't really keep up with fads or trends. The last thing I saw a couple years ago was that onions are good, really, really good for you. I think onions add a bit of flavor and texture to burgers and pizzas so I add them in sometimes. It's nice that they are really, really good for you again.

We all know that everything is indeed bad for you. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to keep up with the latest - we need grant money/we have to justify our jobs/oh looky, we have a 24 hour news network to fill - fads. Great, you'll have low cholesterol but an ulcer the size of Rhode Island. Eat what you like, enjoy your food. Living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Thing is, though, do we really want to reduce the early signs? Warning signs are annoying, but does anybody want to "drive" along perfectly happily in willful ignorance until they drive off the proverbial washed-out bridge?

Cant beat a bacon and onion roll.

They neutralise each other.
You end up getting only the roll effects.....starch.
The best option is one part bacon, one part beef and four parts onion....now you are onto something special.

A Bloomin' Onion. Skip the early signs of heart disease and go straight into the real thing.

I'd like to experience living forever though, then I'd have first-hand evidence of what it's like instead of guesswork.


EDIT: But I'm guessing it probably doesn't come from eating onions.

Did you know that onions, apples, and potatoes are virtually indistinguishable by taste? You've got to plug the nose tight to prevent the smell from giving it away, though.

Onions and potatoes I'll somewhat agree with, but apples, particularly the sour apples, are extremely distinct.

When I cook, I first take an onion and then, I decide what I want to

do with it.
This is good cooking.

So it is more common than I had thought...
It's in our family too.
My grandmother would be frying up onions, and my mother would ask what she was making, and she would just say "I don't know yet".

There is of course French Onion soup, but I think we have flogged that to death already.

I love Onion Rings!

Still, need to brush my teeth and gargle mouthwash after eating dozens of those.
