Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
"Leafy Greens: Riskier than beef, says the FDA"
No, they didn't. In fact, the FDA has nothing to say about beef. Why would they? Beef is regulated by the USDA. The article clearly states that leafy greens are the riskiest food that is "regulated by the FDA."
You really should fix that.

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
Thanks, Erin. Now we need the USDA to come out with their own list, but I won't be holding my breath on that one.
Yes, RossS, it does seem like something different every day, but that doesn't mean that we (or the FDA or the USDA) can't do anything about it. Those leafy greens aren't getting contaminated on their own, you know.

New Quaker Oat Campaign, and the Dawn of an Oatmeal Trend
From "Brief History of William Penn" ( http://www.ushistory.org/ ) :
"There is a common misconception that the smiling Quaker found on boxes of Quaker Oats is William Penn. The Quaker Oats Company has stated that this is not true."
I would say that I love any kind of oatmeal, but I must admit, I'm not too sure about trying savory oats. Hmm....

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
Watch out for contaminated leafy greens, green onions and tomatos are gonna getcha too, oh and don't forget about spinach it's no good anymore either. Don't even think about eating beef or poultry. There's a rice shortage, wait no that's wrong, there's no shortage after all. Limit your honey intake, cause we're running out of bees, they're droppin like flys. Don't even get me started about corn and the evil industry behind it. Plus anything that comes from a big corporation is going to kill as well, 'cause all they're about is making money.
So what's left? Slightly bruised bananas and maybe some bagles.
I feel better now...what's for dessert?
Pickle Juice
Pickle juice is great if you have high sugar levels due to diabetes to help lower them. Dallas Cowboys have been using it for years as an secret boost of energy rather than chocolate milk, candy, or energy bars that can bring them down due to the sugar. Athletes with diabetes use Pickle juice mixed with water for boost drinks. I it frozen on a stick.

I'm from Indiana and the state is famous for it's corn and popcorn (Orville Redenbacher was a Hoosier.) We're also famous for pork tenderloin sandwiches, though I haven't been impressed with the few I've had since I moved here. We have Sugar Cream Pie, too, which is self-explanatory.

Im from Nebraska and one would guess corn or beef. But personally, I would say it is our local heritage foods such czech kolatches, German bierocks, polish sausages. Many folks here revel in sharing thier food traditions that thier ancestor have brought to the plains. So much so that it feels like local food to me.

I'm in Indiana. Usually our local corn, apples, peaches and tomatoes are excellent, but the corn crop was kind of sub-par this year.

New York has food from every culture, everywhere. So, in Little Italy, there's Italian food, In Chinatown, Chinese food. And yes, you can get every other kind of food from Japanese to Indian. Bagels are well-known, ribs, and although they originated in Germany, hotdogs and hamburgers. Omelettes are popular, too, although we know they were originally French.
