Pizza May Contain Veggies, Boards Contain Nuts

Once upon a time, Saskboy made a pizza. It was not according to the design of the requester, instead it had nutritious onions on it. Saskboy got the cold shoulder when he delivered it.

This short story was brought to you by the makers of pizza. It’s a vegetable on its own?

I hope you take a “fresh look at processed foods”. There are certain foods that should only be purchased if grown organically. Sadly, apples, celery, and peaches are on that list.

I highly recommend this entertaining and appalling report on Food Safety News, which comes complete with photos of a giant can of Goldfish crackers dangling from the trade show ceiling and a Coca-Cola booth bearing the slogan “Promoting the Registered Dietician.” Panels included — I kid you not — one called “A Fresh Look at Processed Foods.”

Help me in the War on Vegetables.

As someone who works for a small co-op, it’s frustrating to no end that large corporations that actively work against our mission statement could easily buy our complicity in this dysfunctional economic system. Why must community minded co-ops be cash starved whenever they are not assisted by generous donations from other co-ops and credit unions, but the largest corporations who are actively poisoning us and destroying our political system never run out of government subsidy?

Community gardens are an important part of municipalities where the majority of people have lost cultural knowledge of how to grow and prepare food. They are dirt schools, and everyone should attend one to make ourselves more capable, independent, and giving human beings.
