Don't Dunk These In Milk! Oreo Cream Centers Carved Into Cameos.
Artist Judith G. Klausner is a Somerville MA artist, who in her own words, has with a love for small, intricate, and overlooked things. Her "embroidered toast" was featured on many blogs and sites last year, but she's really outdone herself with her latest series of carved Oreo cookie cream centers.
Working intricately on the cream centers of both traditional and vanilla Oreo cookies (not sure if they were Double Stuff or original) , she's created tiny sweet portraits in the style of classic and traditional cameos.

Exploding Magnum Ice Cream Ads
This isn’t the work of CGI. Instead, using detonators, small explosives, and some fast photography, they were able to capture images of exploding ice cream in a way which makes it look even more delicious than it would in bar form.
By setting the shots to be taken at mathematically-timed moments, they were able to capture the exact moment to get the best frame of the miniature explosion.
Whether it’s the bright colors of a fruit-flavored bar or the mixture of tan and brown chocolate tones, the visuals are incredible.

School Lunches From Around the World
Ever wonder what children are eating for lunch across the world? Take a look at these 22 very different school lunches and learn some fascinating insights into kids’ school lives across the globe.
USA
Burger and chips! There is a group of retired military officers stating that today’s school lunches are making the kids so fat that many are unable to meet the military’s physical fitness standards.
The good news is that the Improving Nutrition for American’s Children Act was recently passed, whose aim is to make school lunches more nutritional, encourage partnerships with local farms, raise the reimbursement rate for schools and force schools to set standards for vending machine food.
Japan
In Japan, 99% of elementary school students and 82% of junior-high students eat kyūshoku (school lunch).
An English teacher in Kochi, Japan says a typical lunch “consists of a glass bottle of milk, a bowl of rice, usually some type of fish, a pickled salad, some kind of soup usually with tofu and vegetables, and a piece of fruit.”
China
In Beijing, school lunches are typically provided by the school, who orders them through food companies supervised by the local education authority. In other parts of China, children go home for lunch which provides some important family time.
Korea
Nutrition is an important topic in Korea, as it should be. In fact, they’ve banned junk food advertisements aimed at kids, a step that would go a long way here in North America.
Pictured above is kimchi, rice, tofu, and soybean sprouts.
India
In India, school lunches are often provided from home. Ever the entrepreneurs, a food service worker called a dabbawalla has arisen to provide a service whereby they pick up the fresh meal from home and deliver it to school. The empty containers are picked up once lunch is over.
A typical lunch might be roti, (flat bread) a dal, and a vegetable or meat curry.
France
A typical school lunch in France would be considered a gourmet meal in North America.
From a real lunch menu: cucumbers with garlic and fine herbs; Basque chicken thigh with herbs; red and green bell peppers and olive oil; couscous; organic yogurt; apple.
As stated at School Lunch Talk, the “mid-day meal is supposed to teach students good manners, good taste and the elements of good nutrition.”
Taiwan
Childrens’ diets in Taiwan have come under scrutiny, with reports stating that the consumption of the recommended portions of vegetables, fruits, and dairy foods is on the decline, while consumption of unhealthy snacks and fast foods is on the rise.
The USDA found that students were leaving food on their tray, resulting in them receiving less than half of the recommended vegetable and fruit serving.
Sweden
Potatoes, cabbage, beans, cracker, Lingon Berry juice.
Czech Republic
Italy
Italy has a law that enforces schools (as well as hospitals and other pubic institutions) to use organic and local products.
By 2003, 70% of Italian schools were using organic ingredients. Not only are the children eating healthier, but they are also learning how to eat healthy and sustainably.
Singapore
Kenya
Honduras
Slovakia
UK
Ghana
Chile
Philippines
Lechón kawali, liver sauce, rice.
Estonia
Potatoes and meat.
Brazil
Rice, Beans, Bread, Meat with vegetables, banana and alface, acelga salad.
Djibouti
Rice and beans in sauce or curry.
Malawi
