In response to: Everyone Has an Opinion, But Food Sections Remain Authoritative

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?

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.

In response to: 'Timeless' Turkeys Capture the Fancy of Bloggers & Chefs

Mike Barnett [Visitor] · http://www.txfb.org/TxAgTalks
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

In response to: Brands Lose Customer Loyalty with Recession

Sanjeev Sharma [Visitor] · http://www.mypurchaserewards.com
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.

Reusable Bags [Visitor] · http://www.poksak.com
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.
