Here's some food for thought for today...
- Higher quality diets are associated with not only higher incomes but higher levels of education - which makes perfect sense, but also demonstrates the continued food disparity between rich and poor.
- Manic organic - The New York Times publishes a map showing organic farms in the US. Good on you, Wisconsin!
- Toronto writers represent at the James Beard Awards - Congratulations to Jennifer McLagan, and Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid.
- Unwrapped - scientists find chemicals from food wrappers in human blood.
- Unspeakably toothsome - good and bad descriptions of food in literature.
- Pity the pastry chef - salaries in all areas of the restaurant industry are taking a hit, but it seems pastry chefs are being hit the hardest.
- And finally, sinfully delicious - a UK ad campaign for ice cream depicting a nun and a (shirtless) priest are garnering complaints.
