News from the Food Front

Here are links to stories related to the ongoing national conversation about food.

This one is about a contest to redesign the food pyramid; the winning design was not a pyramid at all, and it incorporates the ideas we just studied.  I really like its simplicity and directness.  The commentary by one of the judges is pretty interesting, too. 

December 20 -- Late Sunday Night, Unanimous Approval:
The Senate just unanimously approved the Food Safety Bill.  Although it doesn't solve all our food problems, it is a start, and we are grateful for that.   Lots of legislation gets pushed through when Congress is anxious to start their winter vacation.  Good stuff passes unnoticed; unfortunately, so does bad stuff.

December 30 -- Food Prices Rise Sharply   Watch what happens as this storyline unfolds.  This article was published on December 17 but it went by on my Twitter Timeline today -- another reason I really like Twitter.  Serendipity happens.
