My slate piece on nutraloaf is out.  Apparently, in the long long past, the Onion also did a Nutraloaf taste-testing. This actually is a coincidence, though I’m surprised that more people - writers in particular - didn’t taste test Nutraloaf since it sounds so theoretically delicious and yet is sued over so frequently, thus bringing to the fore an apparent paradox that calls for resolution.  Plus, stunt writing is fun.  Plus, Nutraloaf!

(Actually, I just found out that the piece on cooking with hemp in the Express came out today, too. I hope this means that I can forever be on the oddball dinner party beat. Could such a thing happen?  Has the Onion also written about hemp?)

this bear ate nutraloaf and did not live to tell the tale

I think perhaps the best part about my Nutraloaf story is that my mom commented on it - I didn’t know she knew how to comment on websites. Mom - why have you left my other stories high and dry?

my editor wouldn’t let me use people’s last names in the piece (to protect their innocence?) but DC-based lawyer and nutraloaf-sampler David Gross wanted this story to come up when people google his name, so now maybe it will.
