Sneaky Shrinking of Food Amounts





We've noticed this too at Expired Foods as we go out to shop. Read the label. Grocery stores and food manufacturers alike don't seem to keen on helping you find the best deal.

Eating Forbidden Songbirds




France outlawed the eating of this rare bird in 1999.

After capture, the ortolan would be left in a dark box. Apparently the lack of light would often prompt it to gorge itself. When maxed out to up to three or four times its normal size, the bird would be drowned in a snifter of brandy, then quickly cooked on a spit for 6 to 8 minutes.

The 'common' way of eating the ortolan is in its entirety — bones, guts and all, except the head or beak, which is bitten off — with the consumer's head covered by a napkin.

We'll stop there, strange enough.

Watch Out When Throwing Out An Invite For Free Food





This is crazy. 40,000 people showed up to pick leftover crops for food. Yes, you read right, leftover food.

40,000 Swarm Farm To Gather Free Food

PLATTEVILLE, Colo. -- A farm couple got a huge surprise when they opened their fields to anyone who wanted to pick up free vegetables left over after the harvest -- 40,000 people showed up.

Joe and Chris Miller's fields were picked so clean Saturday that a second day of gleaning -- the ancient practice of picking up leftover food in farm fields -- was canceled Sunday. " 'Overwhelmed' is putting it mildly," Chris Miller said. "People obviously need food."

She said she expected 5,000 to 10,000 people to show up Saturday to collect free potatoes, carrots and leeks. Instead, an estimated 11,000 vehicles snaked around cornfields and backed up more than two miles. About 30 acres of the 600-acre farm 37 miles north of Denver became a parking lot.

Miller said they opened the farm to the free public harvest after hearing reports of food being stolen from churches. It was meant as a thank-you for customers.

End of the McDonalds Brand?





We found an interesting story on inventorspot.com about a very generic looking restaurant in Tokyo that is serving Quarter Pounders and not much more. Something you won't see, apparently is the McDonalds logo.
