Food and Nutrition

32. Examine.com Blog
Breaking down scientific research and the language in studies can be tough, and staying on top of health news can be equally as difficult—and time-consuming. Examine.com not only helps us stay in the know, but it also presents information in a way everyone can understand and relate to (like the unbiased truth about marijuana or the 10 biggest nutrition myths). Bonus: The blog covers everything you need to know about supplements so you don’t splurge on supposed wonder vitamins that you’ll end up peeing out (and reaping none of the “benefits”).

  33. Food Politics 
Don’t worry: Just because the blog has “politics” in it doesn’t mean it bombards readers with incessant information about how democrats and republicans are feuding—again. Instead, scientist and nutritionist Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., shares important (and super interesting) food news like the future of chocolate and her musings on the free swag at the Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics’ annual meeting. Sure, politics is a prevalent theme, but Nestle hand-picks the good stuff and shares it in a way that’s much more stimulating than the latest study release. Sign us up!

  34. Mark Bittman
It takes an insanely clever chef to bake a four-star dessert in less than 10 minutes—and on top of that, make it easy enough to teach novice cooks how to do too! Such is the genius of Mark Bittman, trend setter, New York Times journalist, bestselling author, and the brains behind hundreds of gorgeous and healthy recipes, which are prominently featured on his insightful website along with excerpts from his Times column. Gotta appreciate a man whose philosophy on healthy eating includes cheddar waffles with bacon maple syrup.

  35. NPR The Salt 
NPR is far more than an entertaining and informative collection of radio programs. It’s actually expanded a lot since it was founded in 1970—including the creation of The Salt, a food blog that covers everything from news to the science behind chocolate chip cookies to nitty-gritty health studies. If you’re looking to subscribe to the crème-de-la-crème of fun food info, this is it. After all, they did introduce us to the first ever Ketchup ‘n’ Fries plant—possibly our favorite creation to date.

  36.BuzzFeed Food  
From breaking the news about bacon-wrapped pizza to bonding over hanger issues with J. Law to doughnut recipe roundups that will no doubt make you drool, BuzzFeed is on top of all things trending (and insanely delicious) in the food world. But despite making us want to toss all of our health goals out the window and instead commit to a lifetime of ingesting food porn, the site is also full of legit information and encouragement to make healthier choices—like tips to make cooking easy. (And then you can always turn to us for super simple recipes!)
