SNACK TIME: A real-deal meat machine, adorable molded meat, hipsters are to thank for our food, pizza's a vegetable, Herman Cain hates vegetables, and guns and tequila mix.

- Ever found yourself perusing food choices in a convenience store and thinking about how much better life would be if you could get meat out of a vending machine? Lucky you, there's one of those in Alabama. Apparently the steaks are pretty good.

- Here's a pork roast molded into the shape of a pig.

- Now here's a turkey breast compressed into the shape of a turkey.

- Philadelphia’s restaurant scene is extremely diverse — we have everything from upscale French to cheffy fried chicken and doughnuts. There’s something for everyone, and it's all thanks to hipsters, at least according to The Atlantic Cities. Please thank each and every one of them for molding our "small" city’s dining experience into a diverse playground of food.

- Congress has declared pizza a vegetable, kind of. The tomato sauce on school lunch pizzas now counts as a full serving of vegetables. Swedish Fish count as seafood too, we're guessing.

- Someone better let presidential candidate Herman Cain know about the sauce-as-veg thing STAT. He's gonna want to take it off his favorite food pizza because he thinks "vegetables are for sissies."
 
- Wanna shoot things? Wanna drink lots of tequila? Wanna do both at once? Well, you can’t. But you can buy this Living Social deal that gets you a visit to a shooting range followed by a tequila tasting at Cantina Los Caballitos.
