Somehow, my browser tabs have become clogged with food-related items. If you are on a diet you might scroll down….
Let’s start with a cocktail, shall we? Wired has a helpful item on how to infuse your own Vodka with your own selection of delicious flavors. Take that, Absolut!
Perhaps we should have some light dinner conversation. Here’s a book we could discuss: Swindled talks about the various ways that the food business has taken advantage of us, the customers, for the last few thousand years!
Speaking of which, Suburban Guerilla would like to talk about why it’s so hard to get locally grown food at the local megamart.
Shall we finish the appetizers with a cheese plate? Unbossed would like to know why, if rBST is sooooo good for cows and not at all bad for us humans, farmers and dairy producers don’t proudly label products with its use?
Are you a fan of Lilek’s Gallery of Regrettable Food — even if you can’t stand his standard blog drivel? Well then you are going to love this. It’s the Mid-Century Supper Club, reproducing food your mother still has nightmares about, and sharing the pictures with us on the internet! Many thanks to Slashfood for this one.
Ever wonder what foreigners buy at Japanese discount stores? Well it turns out that Ramen tops the list. Followed by an amazing array of strange stuff, some of it even edible!
And did you know that now some people are claiming that fortune cookies are a Japanese invention?
Speaking of Japan, they are a little upset to be getting “free” beef from America. It seems they have very strict criteria regarding what they will accept from our nation, and at this point I can’t blame them.
After all, stuff like this shows up in our freezers.
And the USDA isn’t interested in the *ahem* wrong people investigating the wrong things. The “wrong people” such as Congress. The “wrong things” such as whatever they say. Yeah. Cause they totally have nothing to hide.
In closing: Education is about Students; Off With My Sexist Head!; Gretchen embraces reality as we know it; “We can’t show kids the results of non-abstinence, it goes against the principles of abstinence-only sex education!”; and $31 Million dollars worth of goods lost stolen from luggage while in TSA or airline custody in the last 3 years .
