Here's some food for thought for today...
- I'll have the burger with a side of crack. A restaurant in Tennessee gets busted for serving up more than just food.
- What's that? GM foods got into places they shouldn't have been? You mean those giant agricorps aren't taking care to protect other crops and food products from their frankenfoods? Colour me unsurprised.
- A huge recall of Irish pork was issued this past weekend because of potential toxins in the pig's feed.
- It's not the food, but what's it's been sprayed with - a chemical used in various applications, including as a pesticide, has been linked to an effect on gene activity that could promote obesity.
- A teacher notices a change in students' behaviour after they eat a junk food lunch.
- Workers at the world's largest hog slaughterhouse (owned by Smithfield in North Carolina) are close to unionizing.
- And finally, while learning to count is an important part of childhood, is it wise to have the little guys counting cookie and donuts?
