Food News Roundup

I've seen a lot of food-related things in the news lately (or maybe I've just been paying attention to it more?). Either way, here are some fun, some serious, mostly random links for you to catch up on your food-related news reading:

• Salmonella-tainted Peanut Goo If you haven't heard enough about this yet.
  
  
• Maple Syrup Smells Invades NYC Amazed that people knew who to call to file a complaint. And amazed that their comments were not only documented, but also acted upon.
  
  
• Food Legislation waiting for Obama Support Sad that it takes such a public cock-up to get people to pay attention to food safety.
  
  
• Girl Scout Cookie-Pushing Ethics
  
  
• Go Red Day Okay, so this article isn't really food-related itself, but it's a timely reminder of a good cause that actually does have a lot to do with the food we eat.
