Food Blog

I’ve been real busy with the food blog awards and Christmas travel, so if you’ve requested to be on the list, bear with me. I probably have about 50 to add.

More cooks say ‘blog appétit!’ The Christian Science Monitor’s article on food blogs.

Sugar Shock Blog reports that “dietitians at an Illinois high school (Evanston Township) say that bottled water now outsells soda in its school vending machines”.

US Food Policy reports on the Mandatory labeling of trans fat. BanTransFat.com tells us it might be weeks before healthier oreos hit the shelves.

As reported elsewhere, the blogger who wrote a post about Rachel Ray’s book signing appearance in Chicago was fired. It’s a shame that he was fired for such a light-hearted post (and its comments), but everyone should know that rabid publicists and paranoid corporate counsels know how to get on the internet now.
