Things I have eaten since I moved back to a larger city...
Since I have moved, I have explored many different cuisines which were not available to me in Grande Prairie.
On this list are Thai food, Indian food and Vietnamese food. I also ate at a vegetarian cafe that specializes in ethical and local food. I also enjoyed very good pasta prepared by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Oh large cities! How I have missed you!

I now receive agri-news from Reuters and have become very interested in the concept of food recycling in Japan. Since animal feed and fertilizer prices are high, the Japanese have started taking their food waste and using it as animal feed and fertilizer. The recycled feed is about 50 % cheaper. Food being recycled include rice balls, sandwiches and milk discarded by 7-11 stores. This food is now turned into feed for pigs and chickens, but cannot be used to feed cows and chickens due to Mad Cow regulations. The Japanese are now recycling 70% of their food industry and convenience store waste. They generally dispose of about 20 million tonnes of food waste a year, which is five times as much as world food aid to the poor in 2007.

Here's a question for my readers in the UK. Do you eat beef? Does the threat of mad cow prevent you from doing so?
