REL asked:


I read that spicy food (cayenne and such) can actually help with sinus problems and congestion; I don’t know if that would help a cold or not, but the point is I like spicy food. My mother always taught me to eat blander foods when you’re sick at all, even just with a cold - but will it really hurt to eat spicy soup or something? Can it help at all?

I am 50, and doing my first adventure race, it is mtn biking, trail running and kayaking. They do not supply anything, so I need to pack and carry all my food/water. What would be the smartest and easiest snacks that would get me through? It will probably be about 6 hours.

The Truth Tonic asked:


My cat Lionel is ten years old and still active. However he has had reoccurring urinary tract problems. I recently took him to the vet and they gave me a cat food (Prescription Diet C/D) which Lionel is supposed to eat for the rest of his life. (It has low magnesium).

My problem is that the food is very expensive and I have to go to the vet everytime to get it.

Is there another kind of dry cat food that is available? I heard that Nutro is a good brand. Also, I would like suggestions on any alternatives beside the dry food.

I can ask my vet these questions but I would like to have a 2nd (and 3rd, 4th etc) opinions from Yahoo answers.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Aside from cooking her meat myself, what’s the best quality dry dog food? I just spent $45 on a bag of Royal Canin, and Costco’s dog food has chicken & chicken meal as the 1st 2 ingredients, while Royal Canin’s 2nd ingredient is rice!

FELIZ NAVIDAD asked:


I suppose many people will answer italian food or chinese food, but I wonder if they are interested also in latino-american cuisine too.

Have you already eaten a mexican or a colombian dish ?
Do you like it?
Is it easy to find in Greece?
Would you like to eat some more often?

Thank you in advance !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

What kinds of ways have been developed to grow food, other than using soil in the ground? Are there other substances in which food can grow? Are there methods that harm the environment less than traditional growing methods? How do these new methods work? Are they more or less efficient than growing food in soil?

Who Knew? asked:


On the food pyrimid, It would say you need 3-6 servings of this 2-3 servings of that, but what are the servings. How much do they contain.
Say you’re supposed to eat 3-6 servings of vegitables a day, how do you could the servings?
What I’m trying to ask is, what does 1 serving of food equal?

natureutt78 asked:


My cat has a very bad and neurotic habbit of scratching spots on his body until they become raw and bleeding. Usually it’s behind his neck, or in front of his ear. His is a indoor healthy kitty (no fleas!). My vet thought it was ringworm at first, but our cat tested negative. My vet mentioned that sometimes it’s an indication of food allergies. Does anyone know much about food allergies in cats? He is being fed perscription diet cat food r/d to help him maintain a healthy weight. Any info, including links, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
