Obama and food
25th Jan 2009
Happy New Year everyone! Grave apologies for being quiet on this amazing network, but I wanted to bring you all up to speed on some of the latest food happenings in the UK and around the world.
I have a post a link on my food blog regarding the speculation in the US regarding Obama's intentions on food sustainability. With a new president, there's excitement and caution as to what extent the US government is willing to address the interests of small consumers and the health benefits of organic produce. For more, please visit:

In addition to the Obama buzz, British TV (specifically Channel 4) has been very exciting to watch over the past week, since the start of a new series featuring the UK's best chefs (including the iconic Jamie Oliver). This new series will present particularly important issues surrounding the foods we all eat. For more: http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/the-big-food-fight/
Happy and healthy 2009 everyone.....

An article that has just come out in the New York Times proves how important decisions about food will be in America this year. According to a national survey, the number of people using food banks in the US has increased by 30% over the course of 2008. That means that the types of foods being stocked by the food banks will be increasingly important.
To see the full article on how food banks are being affected by the recession in the US, go to
