I'll have to check that one out. First, I'll have
to check that I don't already have it. Don't you
hate when you buy a book, and discover you already
have a copy? That's happened often enough to me
that I've gotten more careful about it.

Food books are about a third of my vast book
collection, and of that almost none are books
intended for the home cook. Almost all of my
food books are about industrial food technology.
I learn so much more from them. None of them
assume you're an idiot. All of them assume
basic knowledge in chemistry, engineering, etc.
They get right to the point really fast, then
tick off all the information you need to know
if you're working in the branch of food science
they're describing. They don't waste your time
with romantic descriptions of the last time they
toured the south of France or any useless crap
like that. They don't waste precious space with
sumptuous photographs of food, except for the
two books I have specifically on the subject
of food photography.

Looks interesting. :-) Where did you get them?

I'm compiling a list of "need to buy" books and I just added some of
these to that list, thanks. I'm going to make a run to 1/2 price books
one of these years. <g> Mainly for the mckenzie books for back and neck
health (as suggested to me by both my chiropractors and a personal
trainer for m.f.w.), but also for some fun stuff!

Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation". The movie was lame and really
had nothing to do with the book.

Ironically, the only thing the book and the movie had in common was
the premise that 38% of all burgers tested positive for containing
cow shit (some of it has been irradiated rendering the ecoli
harmless).

So the movie begins - an inspector is sent out to find out how all
this shit is getting into the meat. What he finds out is that it
can't be avoided.

And you said before that ALL fast food burgers contain cow shit. See,
it's not as bad as you think it is.

So that would mean that all meat, including your $100 dollars burger, is
susceptible to contamination.

I have no qualms about eating ground beef that probably contains cow
shit. It's a fact of life when you eat out. I'm sure I've warded
off more e-Coli than I've eaten and I've never attributed any
sickness to eating cow shit.

I did eat some fresh shucked oysters though...But I still eat those,
too.

You can bet those fast food companies keep their secret ingredients
and processes a proprietary secret. It ain't gonna be published in
any book under that title. Which is why I mentioned those books
here.

These are the same ingredients that make people unemployed and live
in their momma's basement. It's very interesting reading,
especially the sociology part.

Then why exactly have you been bitching about it so much these last several
year's... now your doing a 180 on it?!?!?!?!

I think the best way to define you Steve, is Hypocrite.

Good point, Scott! But I'm sure Steve already realized that.... but then
again according to his logic, if something costs $100 dollar's then it can't
have shit in it just becouse it's expenssive.

I have said nothing hypocritical. I'm not bitching about cow shit in
food, I'm just bringing it to your attention. You're the one bitching
about it saying it's not true and that all contaminated hamburger is
recalled before it ever reaches the consumer. Which everybody except you
knows is not true.

Have another shitburger, Jerry.

Sorta like that Malaysian coffee where the beans must be eaten by a civet
then 'shat out' before they are roasted and ground and made into coffee.
These exotic oysters must be eaten by cattle, ruminated, then 'shat' out and
then breaded and fried.

Next question.

Wise is a regional snack food company who only distributes to the
Eastern US.

Oh, we do have that brand here. I am just not aware of their
waffies. ACTUALLY, I may have seen them in passing for the first
time within the last week. This is just a guess though. I didn't
note the brand. My daughter deterred me from making a further
investigation.

Taco Bell is part of the YUM conglomerate (along with KFC, Pizza Hut,
Frito-Lay and other institutions catering to the morbidly obese). YUM
is a publicly traded company. Maybe that's what he means.

I've never seen Wise cheese waffles. I've seen Old London, but
not since the last time those came up in conversation here. Good
thing, they are addictive.

Steve, you should have read the whole thing before you posted the link.
Read the part that says:

Most public property is accessible to the general public, such as zoos,
libraries, schools, and parks; some is reserved for restricted use, such as
military bases and research laboratories.

ONCE AGAIN, the matter is settled. Go find another group to troll.

Yeah - so how the hell does this back up your hypothesis?

Your sphincter is open to the general public. Does that make your
ass public property, too?

Jerry doesn't know anything about finances and stock markets. You
give him way too much credit.

His only hypothesis is that if the public is allowed on the
property, then it is public property and he has a constitutional and
contractual right to be there as long as they advertise food for
sale on the menu or street signage.

Look here, Mark! I LIKE those books with "romantic descriptions of
the last time they toured the south of France" and " . . . sumptuous
photographs of food"! Especially with a really good writer: John T
Edge, Calvin Trillin, St. Julia-Child of God, or the Sterns. Better
than novels. Only problem is you have to read them while your eating
or immediately after a meal!
