I for one don't buy it, of course the chains lead by the totally above board WalMart model go after suppliers for the last penny. It wasn't long ago that we didn't need to worry about stuff like this, or maybe we were naive to the facts. But it seems the food of today isn't the food from yesterday. Bread can sit on the shelves for two weeks before turning moldy, and that's probably just the tip. -nfg- Where you are I would try to stay as local as possible, here in Northbrook a Chicago burb, it's nearly impossible.

Friday night, always when the BS appears... Farewell Eng£AAAnd: Moody's Downgrades The UK From AAA To Aa1Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/22/2013 - 16:36 And another AAA-club member quietly exits not with a bang but a whimper: MOODY’S DOWNGRADES UK’S GOVERNMENT BOND RATING TO Aa1 FROM AAA Someone must have clued Moody's on the fact that the UK is about to have its very own Goldman banker, which means consolidated debt/GDP will soon need four digits. In other news, every lawyer in the UK is now celebrating because come Monday Moody's will be sued to smithereens. Cable not happy as it tests 31 month lows, which however also explains why the Moody's action has another name: accelerated cable devaluation. Those who heeded our call to short Cable when Goldman's Mark Carney was appointed are now 1000 pips richer. Also, please sacrifice a lamb at the altar of Goldman: It's the polite thing to do.
