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

• Children who eat junk food usually do so because their parents eat junk food. Big surprise, huh?
• China's food ingredients industry suffers from the paranoia around the Beijing Olympics when many factories were shut down.
• Philadelphia passes tough menu laws for chain restaurants.
• High end restaurants in Washington DC are feeling the economic hit as customers eat out less.
• Or you could just drink it because you enjoy it and it tastes good - bioengineering students muck about with yeast for beer to raise levels of reservatrol, the supposedly beneficial compound found in red wine.
• If you don't like applesauce, don't make it - the practicalities of urban homesteading.
• Got a hunter in your life who's hard to buy for? Then the Ammo Thermos should finish off your holiday shopping.
