Things that bug me, but not too badly ...

"Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden."

This is sort of like saying "Gravity is defined by the Royal Society as a force which repels."

Chili is ... BEANS, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients. Meat is optional. Beans are not. If it doesn't have beans, it's not chili (although it may be a very nice meat stew).
