Political side of Food

Are we not thinking about the political side of food because someone has already given us the answers? There are so many questions. The answers are not easy to obtain. We let someone else filter the information for us.

clipped from food.change.org Branding Food As Politics Think about going out of town and needing to buy something. Maybe food, maybe something else. You look for the name of a store or restaurant chain that you know. Say you don't find one you recognize, but you go into a place that looks like they'll have what you need. Do you find yourself looking first for a familiar brand or dish before you'll start evaluating the alternatives? An excess of choice actually being paralyzing, it's useful to have symbolic shortcuts that let us wade quickly through our options. Having once taken the time to find out what we like, or can at least tolerate, why redo that process every time? Where it comes from, who grows it and how, who harvests it, who buys it, who processes it, who it's sold to, who gets the profits. These are the political issues surrounding food, and they need to be branded that way.

How to cook an egg

one day I will cook an egg so it turns out the way I like it.

clipped from lifehacker.com Cook the Perfect Boiled Egg with the Power of Science Their "Art of cooking an egg" page contains a handy little Flash application that turns variables like egg circumference, desired yolk hardness, the egg's current temperature, and your elevation, then spits out exactly how long you should boil that egg. The site is in Norwegian, but this page provides a translation (minus the Flash app)—and reader Martin offered a quick rundown of what each segment of the Flash app asks for: 1st slider: The circumference of the egg (in cm) 2nd slider: How hard you want the egg yolk to be. (Hard = Hard, Middels = Medium, Bløtt = Soft) 3rd slider: Start temprature of the egg (on the botton, its directly from the fridge. In celcius) 4th slider: How high over the sea level you are in meters. (Because water boils faster the higher you are.) moh = meters over the sea level

Let's keep advertising out of our social networks.

clipped from www.blueridgenow.com Advertisers Face Hurdles on Social Networking Sites Independent experts on Web advertising have been watching, however, and what they see is a myriad of difficulties in making brand advertising work on social networking sites. Members of social networks want to spend time with friends, not brands. Mr. Goldstein of SocialMedia Networks describes a self-perpetuating cycle in social networks: “Advertisers distract users; users ignore advertisers; advertisers distract better; users ignore better.” When Facebook convinces advertisers to stage Super Bowl-sized entertainment every day, its future will be assured.

CRM & Social Media

clipped from www.btobonline.com Forrester survey finds social media leading way toward CRM 2.0 Even as analysts and experts predict the coming age of more collaborative, enterprise-ready customer relationship management (CRM), savvy marketers have begun using a variety of social media tools already at their disposal to bring CRM 2.0 in through the backdoor. What we found was that there's no need to wait; social technologies are already driving business results today,” said Band, author of a new report titled “CRM 2.0: Fantasy or Reality.” “[Marketers] who wait will find it hard to catch up.” In fact, traditional CRM vendors haven't been sitting on the sidelines. Several large-scale CRM vendors added social media capabilities to their products in 2008.
