• Catherine De Medici’s favorite dish was supposedly a stew of gizzards, testicles, offal, and rooster coxcombs, even if it nearly killed her a couple of times. [Business Week]

• “We’ve become a nation of really weird eaters,” which is particularly true of Millennials, who consume cereal any old time of the day and favor snacking over actual meals. [USAT]

• … Which actually might be good, since we all need to get used to eating less: Research indicates that world food demand is likely to double by 2050. [Business Week]

• The L.A. Times endorses eating in the Westfield Century City food court, where the Juicy Bird kiosk is apparently “so cool.” [LAT]

• The argument is being made that can donation drives are not as efficient as cash donations to food banks, no matter how much you think people want your old green beans. [Bellingham Herald]

• Food banks continue to struggle to keep up with the demand as those seeking food assistance grew by 22% last year. [NBC]

• And don’t go blaming fat people: Contrary to what you might think, those who are overweight actually eat fewer meals than normal-weight people. [Reuters]
