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

• Canadians are eating less pre-packaged meat since the listeria outbreak.
• China is set to become the world's leading producer of wine within 50 years.
• Diabetic? Eat your pasta - a low glycemic diet - including nuts, lentils and pasta, helps lower blood sugar levels.
• I'm sceptical about the UK's paranoia of childhood obesity, but advertisements for junk food aimed at kids could probably go with no real complaint from anyone.
• Don't tell the people at CAMRA - but wine is favoured by drinkers in the UK over beer.
• But in Chicago, they're drinking more beer and enjoying it warm.
• Didn't we already know this? - women are better tasters while men have more adventurous palates.
• And finally, who says Christmas cards are a waste of paper? Not if you make then from edible potato starch, then you can just add them to Christmas dinner.
