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

• Confused by the labelling on French wine? Turns out, so are the French, and some wine makers in that country want changes.
• Oil and water don't mix, and the world's demand for the heart-healthy oil is causing droughts in parts of Europe as more and more water is required to grow more and more olive trees.
• Despite all of the recent concerns about processed food in this country, companies continue to switch to lesser quality ingredients to save money.
• Nevermind the supposed health benefits of raw milk - let's just legalize it based on the fact that it tastes better.
• More US citizens are worried about the safety of their food than about the war in Iraq or global warming.
• And finally, more proof that the government tends to pick on the little guy when they should be looking at large-scale food operations - Cheese Magic in Kensington market was forced to removed their unrefrigerated cheese counter or risk being shut down.
