It's been a terrible week for food

Yesterday (see below) the Washington Post reported on terrorist vegans in France and a cheese emergency here at home; today, it's a ketchup war with Canada and a TSA crackdown on those little cheese-flavored (cheese, again…is there a pattern here?) fish crackers we love. What's going on? How does broccoli get away unscathed?

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out the mango. I guess the only real option is to just whack it open and see what's inside.

Jean-François Guihard, president of the French Federation of Butchers, penned a sternly worded letter to Interior Minister Gérard Collomb last week, calling for protection against the “terror” of “militant vegans.”

Meanwhile, M-ing AGA

America’s cheese stockpile just hit an all-time high

“Milk production continues to trend up, and that milk has to find a home,” said Lucas Fuess, director of market intelligence at HighGround Dairy, a consulting firm.

Me, I'm just trying to figure out how to eat a mango.
