Here’s some food for thought for today…
- Who says there’s no “local” food in Dubai? It appears the camel burger is a regional specialty.
- How to feed 9 billion people.
- Getting over the revulsion of hospital food – ganga, of course. THC prescribed to people with no appetite.
- Losing weight at high altitudes – why fat farms may some day all be located in the mountains.
- After being a crusader for real food for the past decade or so, Eric Schlosser is ready to move on.
- New York restaurateurs object to a letter-based sanitation rating system, citing, among other things, 200 year-old buildings and neighbouring lots full of rats as issues they must overcome to keep their restaurants up to code.
- Tins aren’t sexy – in an age of fresh and local, we may have a low opinion of canned food, but good stuff can come out of tins, and who among us doesn’t fall back on canned beans or fish from time to time?
- In case you need another reason to boycott the Olympics – corporate sponsor McDickhead’s object to a First Nations chef calling his burgers, well, “burgers”. What? The? Fuck? Dear VANOC – you’re a bunch of whores.
- Expect your bags of chips to get smaller. The US Food & Drug Administration is looking at bringing serving sizes for foods like chips, cookies, breakfast cereals and ice cream into line with how people really eat.
- And – some other ways to let people know what’s in the food they’re eating.
