Here's some food for thought for today...
- Did you buy cheap lobster this past weekend? Cheap prices may mean government aid for Maritime fishers who are not making enough on their catch.
- Jamie Oliver is set to do a TV series for ABC with Ryan Seacrest that will have him make over the diet of an entire US city. UK food writers roll their eyes and say "You can keep him!"
- Mixing work with displeasure - US Congress plans to offer incentives so employers will encourage healthy habits in their staff.
- Justifying the "healthy" junk food - is Oprah's grilled KFC really the better choice?
- In the era of Facebook, Flickr and Twitter, how much of a public meal can be on the record for food writers?
- Is our food system less safe now than in the past or do we just have better systems for identifying tainted products?
- A rare French variety of potato goes for $300US/lb. Maybe you can eat just one.
