The Internet is the wild west of intellectual discussion, and usually I’d tell you to avoid the comments like the plague. However, sometimes the Internet gets it right. Tonight is that night. Read this “recipe,” and in particular the comments:

Thank-you Internet. Thank-you Food Network, never change, OK?
I’m re-filing this under LOLWTFBBQ.

My favourite part is that the “Similar Recipe” is Tagliatelle Bolognese. Which is only similar in that one of its 18 ingredients is pancetta, as far as I can tell.
Serious WTF. I think most of Rachael Ray’s recipes are kind of gross. She takes shortcuts where they don’t make sense.
You know, following the links from that story lead me to learn about how ketosis, a very controled fat only diet, can cure extremly severe, drug-resistant cases of epilepsy : http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/magazine/21Epilepsy-t.html
Really interesting, especially the part about how this had actually been know for 70 years but basically ignored by science (it should be said that you must control the diet so precisely that without a to-the-gram electronic scale and a computer program to follow the exact quantity of protein/carb/fat ingested, it’s about impossible to make it work, so the success rate probably wasn’t too high before such means were easily available)
