2010 Airport Food Review

I travel a lot.

This year alone it was 60,000 km from Canada to Namibia, to South Africa, to Thailand to Vietnam to Hong Kong and a few more in between for good measure.

I have spent my fare share of time in airports, both domestic and international, attempting to source out vegan foods to keep me going. More often than not it ends up being coffee, crackers, chips, nuts and if I am super lucky a week old fruit bowl of some kind.

Which is why this article on US Airport food caught my attention.


Its a neat read and its interesting to see who comes out on top. I have to say, I was surprised.

Have They No Souls?

KFC, Coca-Cola and Walmart, that's who.

Why?

Just read this and you will find you head a shakin':KFC aims to double revenue in Africa by 2012. The colonel would be proud. - CSMonitor.com

After spending time in Africa this year, this is the LAST thing people need over there.

Clean water, education and health care is what most people need. Not deep fried battery chickens, high fructose corn syrup and other high processed foods.

Why "exergames" Are A Crock

What's an "exergame"?

Wii Fit, Xbox Kinectis and PlayStation Move are all considered exergames.

And according to this article, unless you are elderly, you ain't getting fit using them.

“At this point, there is little scientific evidence to suggest that exergames can be used alone to meet current guidelines for physical activity in young people,” said Elaine Biddiss, Ph.D.

Human Decapitation in Chicken Factory Accident

Where do I even start with this.

Yes, it is horrible and saddening that this event has occurred.

However, it is even more distressing to think that most people will read this and not for even split second think of the animals that suffer this end each and every day. Most will focus will be on the human element, for this is what they can relate to more.

If this does not cause you to stop and think I don't know what will.

Ask yourself this: Why is it more horrific for a human be decapitated then a chicken?
