Dine daily on a full serving of fresh news every morning.  Why?  Because it’s cheaper than your morning latte and more informative than your average nutritional label.

FOOD! Relishing the Ridiculosity

• I know we're all getting geared up for November, but here are some changes to our food and food supply that it's hard to get some consumers to believe in.   And it's coming soon to a theater near you. Eating never sounded so deliciously scary. 

• We heard about BPA-containing plastics and its link to everything from heart disease and Alzheimer's to depression and diabetes.  On the flip-side, a company's now making probiotic-rich straws.  But will they come BPA-free first?  I suppose my next question is this: what is the point of adding neutriceuticals or vitamins to our plastic, if the nasty stuff is still in there?    

• If you're tired of your Hungry Man and Stouffer's, but are allergic to the stove, this familiar box of electromagnetic radiation still can cook you up a mean meal.  Or, at the very least, real, factory-free food.

• Question: what kind of fakery is this?  Rest assured, they have sent this inedible-looking meal to the cakery.    

• Getting to know your sweet, mass-produced chocolate.

• Now here's a potentially weird surprise: Google expansion into the beverage industry.  Huh?  Yeah, well, since the food industry these days makes absolutely no sense these days, there is no reason for us to hold the beverage industry up to the same standards.  

• You know what else doesn't make sense?  Asking a food blogger if food blogging can be considered an eating disorder.  That's like asking an alcoholic if it's okay to go to the bar.
