SNACK TIME: Let's be friends with Yael Lehman, fast food ballads, Lily Robinson is an adorable genius, Princess Bride wines, your kids are eating ammonia, and ridic Chinese chain knock-offs
- Meal Ticket contributor and donutness extraordinaire Felicia D'Ambrosio sat down for a Generocity.org Q&A with Yael Lehmann, executive director of The Food Trust. Not only does Yael oversee an org whose goal is keeping all of Philadelphia fed and healthy, she also plays bass in a band called Happy Accident. Dude, Yael is badass.
- Ever wonder if a takeout order at Sonic could make you cry? No? Well, troubadour Giorgio Fareira nails it with this vid. This is like Dashboard Confessional type shit.
- BBC News posted about 3.5-year-old innovator Lily Robinson, who suggested that Sainsbury's supermarket rename its tiger bread to giraffe bread because of the closer resemblance. Maybe it's because I'm still thinking about the singing Sonic order, but this article is making me tear up again. It's so cute I can't stand it.
- Texas' Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas is releasing two Princess Bride-themed wines for Valentine's Day. As You Wish White and Inconceivable Cab are part of the Bottle of Wits line, and are carried at several Drafthouse locations. They'll even have a Princess Bride feast on Valentine's Day. Inconceivable! Conceivable!
- Fast food giants McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell aren't serving ammonia-treated beef anymore, but your kid's school probably still is. Jamie Oliver is a proponent against the "pink slime," which he tells us is essentially dog food: "'We’re taking a product that would be sold in its cheaper form for dogs," Oliver said while demonstrating to his audience how the beef is processed. "After this process, we can give it to humans." BRB, I'm going to be sick.
- In other fast food news, China is making an amazing mockery of the industry. 11points.com has compiled this list of 11 Ridiculous Fast Food Chain Ripoffs in China. Examples: Pizza Huh, Mak Dak, OFC (as in Obama Fried Chicken). I can't even pick my favorite because they're all so absurd. Maybe they're all my favorite.
