Thursday's Thinking of Food

Just a couple things today...some food art and a book about pet food.

* I was reading Design for Mankind, one of my daily blog-reads, by Erin Loechner, when I came across this post about Liz's Foodtography.  I absolutely love it and want a print for my picture wall in my den.  Liz takes time lapse photos of her meals and posts them to her Flickr stream

* I came across this book review here.  "If you've ever been curious about pet food, a new book by Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim is sure to satisfy. Feed Your Pet Right examines the politics, marketing, and science behind pet food, and also serves as a research-based guide on how to feed your dog or cat sustainable and healthy foods."

Interesting to find out that the 5 major pet food producing companies in the US also produce "people-food": Nestle, Mars, Proctor & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and Del Monte.  If this industry is as unregulated as the "people-food" industry in this country, (as I can only assume it is), then this should be an informative and eye-opening read for anyone who is an animal-lover.

Has anyone read the book?  Are you loving the local farmer's markets around Columbia, or what?!
