The Food Corridors: 'Novel' concept for a new type of non-profit / charity to bring much needed food aid and implements (dowsing rods, well points, shovels, picks, buckets, rope and so on...) to those in the world facing the common enemies of malnutrition, starvation and famine. The charity organization is just now in the concept stages, but we will accept donations and pledges. Please hold on to your donations if you need a tax relief receipt immediately. The idea is to build 'food corridors' for humans much like animal habitat corridors. The concept appears to work for wildlife, why not humanity???
You may also contact us through our current Twitter webpage: http://twitter.com/georgek1029, new web pages are being planned for this new non-profit.
This little section was inspired by a recent online article found on Yahoo!. Yahoo! has once again proved that it is not only a useful site but possibly irreplaceable - even essential. Please see their article on Fast Foods and other foods that (allegedly) make you fat: The Truth About Your Weight Gain by David Zinczenko.
The part that really got our stomachs turned was about the beef products made by, yes, Beef Products. These products are in turn used to make your fast food burgers. Thanks to the Wikipedia for their link to Beef Products!!! Also found on the Wikipedia was what appears to be an official link to the Beef Products Website.
Other Food Recalls - Updated Wednesday, December 29, 2010
THIS IS A NATIONAL FOOD EMERGENCY AND A DISGRACE OF NATIONAL PROPORTIONS. BOYCOTT THE FOOD INDUSTRY THAT PRODUCES THESE TAINTED PRODUCTS TODAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A VERY SERIOUS FASHION.
IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT WORKS IN THE DAIRY OR DAIRY-RELATED INDUSTRIES, STOP THEM NOW!!! STOP THEM FROM SELLING US THESE TAINTED FOOD PRODUCTS. THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!
Do you have a more appropriate or better photo/image that would look great set against one of our recipes? If you do, and you would care to donate it for that purpose, please contact us here at The Lost Cookbook. We will give you credit (unless you wish to remain anonymous) for the photo/image and list your rights requirements. Thank You.
