Here's some food for thought for today...

• Happy La Tomatila! It's that day where they throw tomatoes at each other in Buñol, Spain.
• What exactly do you do with leftover coulis?
• Stretching the chicken. Why buying a better quality bird and getting four separate meals out of it makes more sense than buying the cheap stuff.
• Even though all the problems with our food system seem to come from large corporations, in the US the government seems to think putting pressure on small producers is the way to deal with the problem.
• They call them "pixifoods", we call it "secret shame" - foods we loved as kids but can't stand as grown-ups.
• And finally - maybe combining a tasty orange soda with ads that show anthropomorphized animals getting sex-ay isn't the best marketing plan, hmmm? Yikes!
