Genetically modified food. Is it good for us or a bad trend that needs to end?
GMOs
Imagine going to the grocery store; this is one of the first times you have had to go about buying your own groceries and making sure you are getting all the vitamins and nutrients that come from the foods we eat. In every section of the store, you see foods labeled organic, Non-G.M.O., or contains G.M.O.s. Does it matter which one you pick? Does one have more health benefits compared to the others? Are they all safe to eat? There is no clear answer because there is a lot of debate around G.M.O. use for our produce, but that does not keep people from buying those products.

Should Robots Be Cooking Our Food?
You don't have to be rocket scientist - or a master chef - to cook a potato to perfection. Just follow the scientific formula T=r²/c. Master chefs such as Gordon Ramsay or Mario Battali might not appreciate taking cooking advice from a scientist, but according to Dr. Peter Barhman, people have been cooking potatoes the wrong way for centuries. Barhman, a retired physicist, claims that cooks should follow the formula T =r²/c to properly cook a potato. T is the cooking time, r is the radius of the potato, and c is the constant that depends on the water's heat capacity and the diffusivity of the water and the potato. Though culinary experts might scoff at his academic approach, Barham's theory about how to cook the perfect potato may inject a little science into kitchensaround the world.

Is There Some Food That Can Actually Make You Hungrier?
If some types of food can make you hungrier than before you ate, than what's the point of dieting? According to a recent study, 52% of Americans believed doing their taxes was easier than figuring out how to eat healthy. That makes selecting the nearly 2,000 pounds of food an average American eats each year more of a challenge than a simple chore.
