Text from a Chipotle carryout paper bag:

¡Viva la Revolution! Okay pigs, it’s time for us to get together and start fixing this system. We see the way that our pig friends get treated at their factory farms, and it’s time we fight so all pigs can have the same rights we have! NO more tight, confining pens! NO more antibiotics or non-vegetarian feed!!!!! WE CAN DO IT! Yours truly, el Pig. P.S. Clear your calendars for next months Talk-n-Trough mixer…..We want equality, and we want it NOW!

HFCS = Corn Sugar

If you want to know more about how the corn syrup industry is rebranding their hated HFCS to corn sugar, just google “corn sugar.” And if you don’t know how HFCS is made, read my article as a reminder: http://www.motherlindas.com/HFCS_murky.htm

DeCoster eggs get recycled

You are not going to believe this, but the FDA is allowing the eggs at the center of the largest egg recall in history, to get a second life as liquid or powdered eggs.

This means Jack DeCoster’s recalled eggs could end up in ice cream, pies and cake mixes. You have got to be kidding me!

Tell the FDA to stop allowing recalled eggs to be put back in the food system!

This post is a simplification of an email I received from Iowa CCI.

Delta Rocks

I haven’t flown Delta Airlines for a while…but it’s definitely on my radar after a recent trip to Iowa. Since its merger with NorthWest Airlines (the Delta brand will live on..but not Northwest) and they seem to be doing things right.

For example, check out the Delta’s Ticket Window on its Facebook page which allows you to book flights. Look for the “Book a Flight” tab.

Be sure to check out American Airlines and United on Facebook, too.
