Palin Book Signing & Holiday Food Safety Website
Palin Book Signing & Holiday Food Safety Website plus Food Forethought. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Northwest Report.
A food safety group, with help from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has unveiled a new holiday oriented food safety and preparation website. Shelley Feist, with the Partnership for Food Safety Education, says the new holidayfoodsafety.org website offers free materials for businesses and others to use to teach food safety.
FEIST: It has a whole lot of free downloads including for a consumer educator. So say you are small grocery store or you’re a public health agency, you can go there and get things that help you promote holiday food safety so I really encourage people to use those things.

Ever wonder if there was any one thing that would cause a devout vegetarian to stray from the fold? Well, the one food item that seems to call their name and bring them back to the omnivore side is bacon. This little tidbit of information comes directly from a recovered vegetarian, or more accurately a “former militant vegan”; his words, not mine. This former vegetarian has started an internet blog where he talks of numerous other people who had given up meat for at least three years only to convert back due to bacon. It doesn’t surprise me in the least. There is nothing quite like the delectable aroma of bacon cooking, add that to eggs over easy, toast and a cup of coffee and you have a meal made in heaven. No wonder it has the power to change lives. Could this be the beginning of a new “food movement”? Will there be a mass exodus of tofu eaters right before the holidays? They say there is no one quite as adamant in their convictions as converts, or people who have gone without eating meat for more than a year.
Thanks Lacy. That’s today’s Northwest Report. I’m Greg Martin on the Northwest Ag Information Network.
