- A PSA to not drink and drive
  Posted by Jeff from Feeds.slashfood
  Filed under: Dinner, Restaurants, AustraliaNot that any of us need to be reminded, but still, this little public service announcement designed and created by Saatchi and Saatchi in Sydney, Australia, is still pretty neat. The little card is attached to a fork and is good pre-meal "grace" of sorts. The copy reads: "Prison food doesn't taste this good. Don't drink and drive..."I like that.[via: AdRants]Permalink | Email this | Comments

- 'Tis the Season: On slow food, communal eating, and Reubenesque sandwiches
  Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner
  In my last column, I wrote about the slow-food movement, which unites people interested in flavors, food preservation, and, of course, eating. The movement is international in its scope and impact, but it is active on the local level; there are currently 140 Slow Food chapters in the U.S. Known as convivia, these groups often feature speakers or tastings -- or both. In Boston, for example, there was a sherry and tapas tasting last night, and there have been chocolate and cheese tastings in the ...

China's economy cools

Who will pay for all of our debt (in the U.S.) if China doesn’t have enough money to bail out the deficit spenders in Washington DC?

Interesting to find out if the anchovies are a biproduct of some other product – maybe cheaper to reuse it rather than dispose of it and dupe the public into believeing it is for their benfit.

High fat level found in takeaways
Gee, imagine that. Heck that is why kids and others like it so much. Usually, it isn't called health food for a reason. James

Call For Action On Food Prices

it starts with the cost of fuel…and gets worse with the demand for biofuels. We’re in deep poo right now.

I think we have to grow more hemp. Hemp seeds can feed people. It can also be used for fuel.

Can People Have Meat and a Planet, Too?

Where does hunting fit in with all of this? Sure, a lot of greens may not identify with hunters; but I’m not talking about sitting in an idling truck until a critter wanders by, then blasting away. I’m talking about ethical hunting: getting up pre-dawn, walking for miles into the wilderness, sneaking up, and killing only when it can be done quickly and painlessly. And for the purpose of providing food.
Lots of people make their own beer. Why? Not because its significantly cheaper than a fine professioinally-made, tasty, store-bought microbrew. Rather, people make their own beer because it gives them a closer connection to what they consume.
Likewise with In Vitro Meat production (Yuk, that is a bad name!). It might be possible , but it distances the human with their source of sustanance- making humans more uncaring and wasteful of the product.
Producing meat might be beneficial ecologically/economically/antiboitically/morally. But what effect does it have ~~psychologically~~ on the humans?
