La Tomatina festival is held on the last Wednesday of August in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region in Spain . Tens of thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a harmless battle where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets. The tomato fight (or La Tomatina) has been a strong tradition in Buñol since 1944 or 1945. It was created after two men, in political protest, began throwing tomatoes at many people and places, and continues to this day, though more for enjoyment than protest. The holiday was banned in the Spanish State period under Francisco Franco for having no religious significance, but returned in the 1970s after his demise. In 1957, demand for the popular festival led to its becoming official, with certain rules and restrictions. These rules have gone through many modifications over the years.
The Grape Throwing Festival is held annually during the last weekend in September, in the wine-growing village of Binissalem, Mallorca. The festival also named festa des vermar celebrates the grape harvest and the main attractions include a grape-stomping competition, grape-throwing fight, and lots of fun!
The festival lasts two entire weeks with almost daily fights as well as a grape-treading competition and certainly, lots of wine! Mallorca Grape Throwing Festival is the only Grape Throwing fight in the world, yet is seems to be less prominent than many other food fights.
Another wine infused food fight festival is the Haro Wine Festival. It is a festival in the town of Haro in northern Spain. It is held every year in the summer and involves wine drinking competitions and contests and an epic Battle of Wine where wines are poured at each other from buckets. The celebration takes place on the day of the patron saint San Pedro. The day begins with a procession of people, dressed in white shirts and red scarves, all carrying jugs, bottles, vessels and other types of containers filled with red wine. Once the mass is completed, the free-for-all sessions begin, with everyone tossing wine on each other, drinking and making merry. Then at noon everyone returns to town to celebrate at the Plaza de la Paz. The festival generally happens on the 29th of June, every year.
The custard pie food fight was dreamed up as a way of raising funds for the village hall some 49 years ago has gone from strength to strength, attracting teams from across the globe. The rules are simple. The teams of four are drawn against each other and score points depending on where their thrown pie hits a member of the opposing team. Every player must throw with their left hand. A full six points for a pie in the face. Three points from the shoulder up and one point for any other part of the body. A player who misses three times has points deducted.
Judges ranked each dish from the food trucks on a scale of one to five based on creativity, taste and appearance, said Sara Ross, owner of Kickass Cupcakes and the creative force behind the food fight.
Honestly, I don't know if it is the placebo effect at this point or just the ingredients are that darn good, but whenever I feel I am about to get sick, I take this immediately. I literally have not gotten sick in years because any time I feel slightly off, I take this and the icky feeling goes away and actually prevents me from getting majorly sick. I kind of feel like super woman because of this little tincture. I highly recommend this to anyone. I buy mine from whole foods, but wanted to write a review to genuinely help someone else.
Antioxidants are a great ally in your health journey. They intercept the bad guys like damaging free radicals found in air pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are also made from some of the foods we eat such as foods with trans fats, fried foods, and foods with a lot of added sugar-rich foods.
Other sources of free radicals include excess sun exposure and everyday environmental toxins. Luckily your bodies produce antioxidants to fight these radicals but your diet is another great source. In technical terms, antioxidants help to prevent oxidation and the subsequent damage to bodily structures like proteins, fats in your cells and your DNA.
Delish! My grandson needs gluten-free foods so I subbed quinoa for couscous. Will make it with couscous for next potluck. My granddaughter (8) helped and was so thrilled to have contributed to a new family fave!
Holy crap soooo good! I used a turmeric couscous that I thought would be PERFECT in this recipe and I was not wrong! This soup is so good and full of antiinflammatory foods (garlic, turmeric, ginger). This is now my go-to chicken soup with flu season fast approaching!
How do I tone down the ginger flavor? It came out very gingery from the ginger root. Otherwise I love the easiness of the process and that it is good for sickness which I am currently fighting a bad cold.
This was delicious! My 8 year old daughter LOVED it. She is going through chemo so getting her to eat something this healthy made my week. My husband and I did have to double up on the spices in our own bowls as we always overspice our foods. Thanks for this recipe!
When working with a new client on creating a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, at some point we ALWAYS discuss the topic of clothing. Usually, clients begin to realize that their clothes are partly to blame for making them feel like shit about themselves. What else happens for my clients as a part of this process?
While there is no regulatory or consensus-based definition for paleo when referring to diets, we use the term "paleo-friendly" to describe products that consist of lean meats and seafood, fruits and vegetables (limited types of starchy vegetables), nuts and seeds. Paleo-friendly products typically do not include grains, legumes, refined sugar, certain oils, dairy and non-paleo additives.

1. Matilda
Sometimes, enough is enough. When the students couldn't take the nastiness of Miss Trunchbull, they banded together with Matilda for some messy revenge. With nowhere to go, the school's principal got a taste of her own medicine when food came at her from all directions.
3. Whip It
Don't mess with someone's milkshake. Roller derby rivalries reached a whole new level when newcomer Ellen Page's character was thrown some food on her face. What came next was an epic scene that concluded with Drew Barrymore throwing a fresh baked pie in somebody's face. Excuse us, we would have liked a taste of that.
5. National Lampoon's Animal House
"I'm a zit. Get it?" When John Belushi was feeling down and appeared at the local diner, he decided to stir the pot just a bit when he spit out his food in front of some local cuties. Plates were thrown, food was tossed and his character was able to flash a giant smile.
The Carnivore Diet is an elimination diet that consists of eating meat, fish, and other animal products, including eggs and some dairy products exclusively. Simply put, there should be little to no plant material consumed. Advocates of the animal-based diet not only believe animal foods provide the best nutrition for humans, but they also believe plants cause many of today's health problems.
The best ingredients for no-carb, no-sugar desserts are dairy foods like cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream. Its subtle sweetness and velvety mouthfeel make dairy the perfect secret ingredient for carnivore desserts.
With a bit of imagination, you can churn out some pretty solid carnivore diet desserts. Though, if your primary goal is weight and fat loss, you obviously shouldn't consume them every day. Carnivore Diet desserts are still desserts. These foods are extremely palatable (for the Carnivore Diet) and easy to eat more than you need, which could easily lead you to a surplus of calories and subsequent weight gain.

The biggest mistake I see vegans make is avoiding carbohydrates or trying to cut back on them because they think they cause weight gain. The reality is that whole food sources of carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, brown rice and fruit are not particularly high in calories. You can eat them until you are full, without overeating.
