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

• Ontario farm workers earn the right to unionize.
• A Tokyo whale meat restaurant, run by Japan's whaling industry, is set to close. This is being hailed by environmentalists as the beginning of the end of that country's whaling industry.
• Farmers are fighting farmers in Washington state as a 30,000-head feedlot is set to move into the area.
• Confectioners in the UK move to eco-friendly or bio-degradable packaging just in time for the holidays.
• Everything you need to know about baking and gluten.
• Changes in the economy are leading to changes in the kitchen across the land.
• Oh, to be in New Orleans this weekend - it's the 2nd annual Po-Boy Preservation Festival. mmm... sammich.
