SELAM: Modern Ethiopian Pop Up Kitchen
August 27th, 6:30PM-10PM @ Coffee Bar 1890 Bryant St.(between Mariposa and Florida St.)
The past few successful Pop Up kithcens in the East Bay have inspired us to bring this experience to the Mecca of foodies and culture: San Francisco! Let us take you to present day Ethiopia with a California twist where you will be greeted with traditionally adorened Ethiopian hostesses to the authentic three course meal with a vegetarian option that comes with a complementary Ethiopian coffee, fresh, roasted and brewed onsite. We pride ourselves on using local, sustainable and the freshest produce. Let this be a night to remember! Once you get to Coffee Bar, leave the hospitality to us.

Tax Soda, Subsidize Vegetables 
Rather than subsidizing the production of unhealthful foods, we should turn the tables and tax things like soda, French fries, doughnuts and hyperprocessed snacks. The resulting income should be earmarked for a program that encourages a sound diet for Americans by making healthy food more affordable and widely available.
The average American consumes 44.7 gallons of soft drinks annually. (Although that includes diet sodas, it does not include noncarbonated sweetened beverages, which add up to at least 17 gallons a person per year.) Sweetened drinks could be taxed at 2 cents per ounce, so a six-pack of Pepsi would cost $1.44 more than it does now. An equivalent tax on fries might be 50 cents per serving; a quarter extra for a doughnut. (We have experts who can figure out how “bad” a food should be to qualify, and what the rate should be; right now they’re busy calculating ethanol subsidies. Diet sodas would not be taxed.)
Simply put: taxes would reduce consumption of unhealthful foods and generate billions of dollars annually. That money could be used to subsidize the purchase of staple foods like seasonal greens, vegetables, whole grains, dried legumes and fruit.
Excellent idea, and I totally agree and see the merits, but I fear the giant corporations behind most of the sweetened suspects would smash any legislation of this sort into oblivion with lobbyists and campaign spending… and it’s safe to say Washington would eat it up.

Taco Bell Attempts to Teach Public that the Non-Beef 12% in the "Meat Filling" is Safe
“I suppose there’s also a third possible explanation for these ads. Maybe Taco Bell believes there are customers out there who will find it comforting to learn the restaurant uses silicon dioxide in its beef filing, propylene glycol alginate and blue 1 in its Avocado Ranch Dressing, the cancer-linked methylparaben and propylparaben in its corn tortillas and the cheap, versatile meat filler modified food starch in the Southwest Chicken.
I mean, thank goodness they’re not using lighter fluid and arsenic.” [excerpt]
I will never eat there again… definitely considering the complete “Fast Food Fast”
Keep chuggin those bottomless buckets of battered, deep fried, chili cheese, jalapeño and onion coney island hotdogs drizzled in a seasoned vegetable oil, America; just take a Peptid AC and something to sooth your severe cramps and diarrhea after!!
