Food in the News by Shelley Lance, Blog Editor

A few bits of news I found strolling through the “Blog Buddies” list to your right:

From The Food Section: A Swedish fast food chain, Max Burger, claims to be the first restaurant to publish C02 emissions on the menu.  Ready for that soya burger?

Also from The Food Section: Guns for Butter– New Jersey officials in Cumberland County, the state’s poorest county, make an attempt to offer food as an inducement for trading in firearms.

From Eater: A Washington Post expose on restaurants that are making dubious claims about being green- for example, self-described “super green” restaurants that list local farms that they haven’t purchased anything from in months and serve Atlantic farmed salmon on their menus.  Are we really surprised that some businesses use  “green” buzzwords as a cynical marketing ploy?
