I look forward to the Los Angeles Times food section each week. I am not as into the blogs as sitting down with a paper in hand. I hope more articles like this will follow to keep food sections alive and running, and, perhaps in the future, grow. Thank you.

Sad, j. griffi, that you don't understand good nutrition. Mr. Oliver is not a quack.

I wrestle for Cabell Midland beside of Huntington, which was effected by Jamie Oliver. His ideas are garbage, along with the food he has set for us to eat. As a wrestler, I can eat pretty much anything, but living off of cardboard has made many students resort to nearby fast food establishments, completely defeating the purpose of this quack chef.

Sincerely,

Cabell Midland students

Who/what is the best source of info regarding the availability of organic milk.
What if I was looking to use organic milk for the production of an "organic" ice cream where could I get it?

Mmmmm, after reading this, Valentine's Day is quickly becoming my favorite holiday!

I love almost any dessert. I love trying new things and I love recipes. This is a great resource. Thanks for the great articles!

Glad to see people promoting seasonal produce and convincing others that winter meals can be fabulous.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Childhood obesity stories for the past decade raised awareness specially for parents to be more responsible for the health condition of their children.

Good to hear that locally grown produce will be the 'in' thing of 2010!

Just be sure your mac and cheese is made with REAL CHEESE, not milk protein concentrate (MPC) from overseas. Buy Annie's Homegrown natural or organic mac and cheese products to be sure you are eating real cheese and not a milk by-product powder from China.

It's interesting what consumers will pay for. Did a story recently about a 72-year-old man who sells "yard eggs" or what he calls "pasture eggs" on a huge scale. "Do they taste any different than regular eggs," I asked. "No, he replied. "But I get a dollar more per dozen for them." He also sells brown eggs. "Put them in a frying pay and you can't tell the difference from the white ones," he told me. But again, he gets an additional dollar over the pasture egg price because they are brown. Just goes to show there's a whole lot of different niches and opportunities in agriculture for those who care to adventure.

I think you have overlooked the biggest trend of all-plant-based foods. Veg entrees are poppin' up in every chain restaurant as people are trying to stay healthy and decrease the impact on their pocketbooks and the environment. Vegetarian restaurants are the latest staple in most big cities, too. Finally a leg up for produce farmers AND a kick in the gut for health care reform

Tracy,
A bit of Heaven in deed! Going to school at WVU had me appreciating pepperoni rolls. Every time I go, I will stop by the local Kroger for a bag full!

My wife and I are seniors, don't go to a lot of movies but we found it very entertaining. Good acting.

Customers are humans and they will change with changing times. Marketing managers must realize that customer loyalty is a function of price, place, product, promotion and service -- not just brand image and service. And the weight/age of each may change from time to time.

In the times of recession price and promotion way weigh more than in good times. So if others can lure your customers by giving higher value, then I guess it should be a cue to you that you can pay back to your competitors using the same strategy.

I would love it if they issued a ban. In South Australia they did it! I know it sounds drastic but in order for people to fully switch, they need to ban them.

We grow one every year. 1-3 acres depending on the needs of the family.
