It's a bad week for vegetarians, go cry in your beer

Can you believe it? The Brits says that vegetables cooked a certain way are bad for your teeth. Cooking increases the acidity.

You may think roasted vegetables are a healthy side-dish but they are actually as acidic as fizzy drinks, scientists have revealed.

They found this method of cooking made aubergines, green peppers and courgettes more acidic. The acid can cause dental erosion when it comes in contact with teeth.
The researchers from the University of Dundee also found oven-roasting the
vegetarian dish ratatouille significantly increased its acidity when compared to
stewing.

And it doesn't end there. Tim Worstall says beer is made possible by fish.

What's next flexotarian black and tan?
