Here's some food for thought for today...
- A (late) Labour Day ode to the farm worker.
- Can you figure out food labels? Is it easy to tell which ingredients are allergens? Potential new labelling may clear things up.
- For everyone who thinks Cosmopolitans are a sweet girly drink - think again. The correct proportions can pack a punch.
- What's your view on Kraft Dinner? I hated the stuff as a kid (hated anything cheez-flavoured) but the perception of the dish seems to depend on your economic status. Plus a nice selection of really clueless comments from people who apparently missed the food bank references in the original article.
- And finally, another instance of "hellooo, common sense" - 4 people in Sweden were poisoned after baking a cake from a recipe with a typo. The recipe called for 20 whole nutmeg instead of two pinches of nutmeg. Aside from the fact that nutmeg is a known poison in large quantities, that much nutmeg in a cake would be absolutely disgusting, yet they ate the whole thing anyway.
