Happy St. Patrick's Day!
PepsiCo
PepsiCo makes a world-wide commitment to not sell sugary drinks in schools. However, they will still sell non-caloric beverages and sports drinks like Gatorade. We all know Gatorade is sugary, but at least Pepsi is taking a step in the right direction. Thanks to CSPI for their work in this effort. Unfortunately, Coke is not doing the same.
Michelle Obama "Scolds" the GMA
Thanks to Food Politics for outlining excerpts of Mrs. Obama's speech to the Grocery Manufacturer's of America. It certainly packed a punch!

Bob's Red Mill: An Incredible Change of Ownership
When I found out that Bob transferred his multi-million dollar business to his employees, I teared up. Not just because I miss my hometown, but because of this amazing act of kindness. He inspires me to make decisions that I can look back on and feel proud of (giving away material items rather than storing them). Click here for the scoop. And if you happen to run out of date sugar or garbonzo bean flour, order from the Red Mill. Better yet, take a vacation to Portland, Oregon and plan to eat at and tour the facilities. It's quite charming.
That's it for now. I have an itch to write something provocative and juicy. Any topic suggestions?

I've always been a Pepsi drinker! It is a step in the right direction and sets a good example.
I love the Red Mill story - it's a great example of a values-driven company. We need to see more of that (I'm all about profit too but who says you can't have both?).
wow...that is probably the most wonderful thing i've heard all day! what an incredible man.
Ooh. I got a beefy Bob's Red Mill coupon in my Chinook book. I haven't been to their store/cafe yet, and I'm excited to have an excuse to go out there. I use their grains daily.
