Some food related headlines from the fast few weeks of The Onion:
In political news:
The Secretary of Agriculture stumbles through a speech forgetting what corn is. Trying to play it cool, he says a few gems: “Corn is…downright, uh, essential to…mostly all of us…farm-wise?”
In heath news:
Salmonella passed FDA testing with reassuring results from a clinical trial stating people contaminated with salmonella were “totally fine for up to three minutes.” The food manufacturing industry is thrilled by this news and has new products, like Salmonell-Os, “an O-shaped breakfast cereal packed with hearty typhoid clusters,” already planned for release.
In economic news:
Hitting us all hard is the recession making us focus on cost cutting. This apparently extends to one local Taco Bell forced to get a roommate to help with costs. The Craigslist ad was too tempting to pass up: “100-square-foot storage room, with access to a modern restaurant-style kitchen,… and spacious walk-in fridge, for $325 a month.”
In photos:
And this slide show is pretty awesome. I love the expression on the guys face in the first photo. All the photos come from previous articles. Among them are Funyuns Still Outselling Responsibilityuns and Area Grandmother Tries Indian Food.
