Here’s some food for thought for today…
- Got your H1N1 shot yet? While you’re standing in line waiting along with all of the other media-paranoid people, think back to the spring when all signs pointed to the flu starting at a Smithfield’s CAFO in Mexico. Whatever happened with that? Cheap pork chops, anyone?
- Speaking of cheap meat, it’s time to choose – that or your health.
- Okay, you don’t have to give it up completely – but how about saving meat for special occasions and eating a vegetarian diet the other 90% of the time?
- And if you’re still worried about swine flu, you can always eat some Cocoa Krispies – they help support your child’s immunity, you know. *rolls eyes*
- Do “foodie” children really enjoy that foie gras and truffled lobster? Or does the human palate and an appreciation of good food not develop until later?
- Stemless wine glasses; easy, interchangeable and stylish – or sacrilegious?
- For years, farmers bemoaned the fact that the next generation wasn’t interested in taking over the farm when they got old enough – but now a whole new group of young people (mostly city slickers looking for a change) are buying up farms and revitalizing the industry.
- Maybe mushrooms really are put there by fairies to lure humans into the forest – Russian mushroom hunters get so entranced at the task, they can sometimes end up lost in the woods for days.
