Food News Roundup: The Cheery Edition

Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on June 11, 2008 – 2:21 pm -

It’s not all doom and gloom, not just yet! I know I tend to report the bad news like a broken record, but believe me, it’s because it is bad, and with peak oil, water & food shortages, overpopulation…and the dopey monkey still in the WH, it doesn’t augur well, and I haven’t even mentioned Global Warming! Some posters went as far to suggest that being in the richest and mightiest country in the world, not much will happen to the food chain.

My hard copy files, collected over the last thirty years or so, run into thousands of pages, and since the advent of the “internets”, I have now several hundreds of thousands more, being subscribed to email alerts from all kinds of sites that are connected to food & beverages producers and odds and sods.
