...ultimate steak, you usually have to go farther than the local hypermarket. My own high-steaks investigation has taken me down some pretty twisted cattle trails. I've spent days on a bus pilgrimage of barbecue joints in Texas and a fortune on wagyu in Japan. I've eaten raw Arctic musk ox with my bare hands at Copenhagen's cutting-edge Nordic restaurant Noma, and I even took my husband to a strip club after I was tipped off that the best meat in Manhattan was to be had at Robert's Steakhouse in the Penthouse Gentlemen's Club...
This brings us to another supermarket paradox: moist raw meat means dry, tasteless steak. Fresh is certainly not best. Beef has to be hung to lose excess water, develop complex flavor, and break down tough fibers, but for how long? Experts disagree, sometimes violently. With all due respect to Zaldúa, two weeks is not enough for full-on flavor. Nor does youth yield tenderness.

For those who ascribe to Dines’ school of thought, a woman who beautifies herself or pursues men is motivated subconsciously by porn culture, not out of a natural desire to be physically attractive or raw sex drive. Dines went on to provide a slew of examples of this sad condition—for instance, any woman who gets a bikini wax does so out of her wish to “look like children.” Thong underwear is equally upsetting...
...beginning of the study, participants took either daily 50 milligram beta carotene supplements—the equivalent of eating nine raw carrots—or placebos. The subjects were then tested for general cognition, verbal memory, and category fluency. “This study, based on a well conducted, long term randomized trial, provides proof of principle that we can influence the likelihood of cognitive decline through long-term life style changes,” said HSPH Professor Meir Stampfer...
...absorbing, however, is Gura’s account of the intellectual “brouhaha” that followed Emerson’s address, which the author describes as “a studied insult to the assembled clergy” that “rubbed salt into the raw wounds from the debate over miracles.” He dramatically unfolds Andrew Norton’s inflamed response, as well as George Ripley’s defense of Emerson’s assertions. But despite Gura’s clear and interesting analysis of such specific academic debates...
