Food For Thought – Monday, November 9th
2009 November 9
Here’s some food for thought for today…
- That list of restaurant rules is spurring all kinds of discussion about service right across the continent.
- O rly?? A study out of the US claims that obesity *causes* certain cancers. While there is a direct link to obesity and uterine cancer (fat produces more estrogen) it appears that researchers are simply comparing rates of cancer and our good old (misleading) friend, Body Mass Index. Yeeaaahhh. I’mma gonna call bullshit.
- Cheese is driving the economic growth in the UK, but it turns out that the actor who portrays one of the food’s biggest fans (the animated character Wallace in Wallace and Grommit) doesn’t like the stuff at all.
- It’s all about the speed. McDonald’s rejects a wrap sandwich for their menu because it can’t be made fast enough.
- Roosters are ubiquitous images of farm life, but they’re not so easy to live with. Into the pot they go.
- And for urban farmers, chickens are the gateway animal into goats, pigs and more.
- Your rock icon, in Valrhona. Cakes with images of rock and roll icons made from chocolate.
