We're not sure if you've noticed, but our food system and way of eating is pretty freaking messed up. We're supposedly the first generation in history whose lives are going to be shorter than our parents due to our terrible diets.

Yes, we're extremely busy with little or no time to cook, but, unfortunately, lack of skill in the kitchen and diets of cheap and easy fast foods are leading to skyrocketing numbers in heart disease and diabetes.

Luckily, there's a revolution on the rise: one that is trying to take back our food. Today is the second annual Food Revolution Day, created last year by none other than the cute English chef trying to force kids to eat healthy foods in school, Jaime Oliver.

Attention craft beer geeks: your weeklong holiday has arrived. Consider the next seven days your vacation--okay, working holiday, whatever.

This week everyone is all Craft Beer Week this and Craft Beer Week that, including us because, obviously! Don't get us wrong, we love our craft beer, but there are other food and drink related events going on this week and we thought some of you might like to know about them.

Brunch, anyone?

Mother's Day is about showing the woman who brought you--or your children--into the world that you appreciate her efforts. Not only did she carry you--or, again, your children--around for nine months, but she's had to put up with your crap ever since.

She kind of deserves a round of applause for that.

Or, at least, a nice meal. That being said, holidays tend to get pricey after a while. If you're looking to treat mom to something nice, but budget friendly, we have a list of restaurants running specials after the jump.

The poor woman had to put up with you parasitically stealing all her energy for nine months. She then had to deal with your screaming and crying throughout the night, your terrible two's, and your hellacious mood swings of pubescence.

Let's be honest: she seriously deserves some credit. Actually, a lot.

In case you forgot, Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday. It's time to treat mom to something nice. With that in mind, we decided to compile a comprehensive list of high-end restaurants running specials for mom.
