Here’s some food for thought for today…
- Bacon, apps, rooftop gardens – the food buzzwords of 2009.
- A bowl filled with hate – it’s bad enough when your fast food doesn’t look as pretty as it does in the photos, but when it sucks the joy to live right out of you, there’s something to be said for fresh and sustainable.
- It’s fun to live in imaginary worlds online, but are games like Farmville distorting the reality of the work involved in farming?
- Diners eat fewer calories when menus list not only calorie counts but have a reference to a recommended daily caloric intake.
- We know that bottled waters can be expensive – but should they be more expensive that alcohol? In some places in the UK, the push to increase booze sales have led to discounts that make some alcoholic beverages cheaper than water.
- We all want to buy sustainable fish, but with eco-labels on fish so incredibly confusing (and contradictory), people are having a hard time determining what to buy.
- Santa eats what he wants – at his busiest time of year, Santa is getting flak from the media for being too big and jolly.
