One Question

as for the question:

What is your favorite comfort food?

peta did it again

After years of protest by Peta against KFC, KFC finally decided to ensure that all chickens used within Canada are more humanely killed. They are also going to provide a chicken alternative at all of their Canadian stores.

Is KFC giving in to Peta's demand or seeing a market?

Okay?

This study shows that the color blue is an appetite suppressant. Because of the few foods that are actually blue our mind doesn't associate the color with something edible. So of course someone invented Diet Glasses. They are regular sunglasses but with blue lenses.
Okay?

Much Ado About Something

The price of wheat has been ballooning lately. The words that we tend to eat with our bread broken at the beginning of a meal, may be lonely. With the additional expense that the price of bread will add to a restaurant there is a good chance that many places will no longer offer it gratis.

There are a few factors in the price jump. There was less wheat produced this year than there has been for quite some time. Many wheat farmers were persuaded into starting to grow corn. To add to this the farmers that were growing wheat suffered a horrible year in productions due to bad weather and a new disease.

The smell of fresh bread being baked may become even more of a luxury.
As for me, I'm just thinking about the inflation in price. Where will it be in five, or ten years for that matter?

Think and eat.

Just A Little Bit Of Food For Thought

Warm water actually freezes faster than cold water.
This is called the Mpemba effect.

The reasons:

-warm water evaporates, reducing the volume
-warm water has convection currents which circulate, frost insulates which in turn takes longer to freeze

Deep Fried Crack.

Deep Fried = Love.



Seriously though, you can really show someone you love them by hooking them up with some real good deep-fried-love. Welcome to the most romantic place in the world Kennedy Fried Chicken.

Forget about all those big name chain restaurants, hit up one you probably never heard of or if you have probably didn't even know was a chain.




Kennedy Fried Chicken is perfect for when that Chicken Craving comes up behind you and gags you with hunger.

If you know me, you know that I love all sorts of food. Wings definitely have a soft spot in my stomach though(in a good way).

You know your wings are official when they are so crispy that you don't know if you are eating the bone or the skin.



I'd eat it: when I was drunk.


P.S I saw the colonial tied up in the bath room

Dumpling House



I love dumplings, I also love sandwiches. Dumpling House is snack food at its finest, and cheap.




Reccomended is the Peking duck sandwich on home made sesame bread, and pork and cabbage dumplings. Pick your poison though, there are enough choices that you will be content eating this cheap meal thrice a week.

I'd eat it: three times a week

As a species we tend to have a bad habit of living day by day. Problems that are not apparent, are in no apparent need of a solution. A destructive mentality, that will lead to many problems. I am one person, as are you. However, we together are the key. I strongly believe awareness is the first step in protecting our planets valuable assets.

This year wheat prices have raised to record highs. Droughts and diseases cut production to a 35 year low. This is happening throughout the environment, bananas and coffee are also falling victim to circumstance. This spawns the question what can we do?

Here is what some people have done.

The United nations have implemented the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources which is dedicated to collection seeds from as many plants around the world as possible.
