AGENDA — Carolina Food Summit

Something about this today on the State of Things on WUNC.

AGENDA — Carolina Food Summit

The sections of the site that include Food Lion and Walmart and others seems to be missing. Oh, could they possibly not fit the plan here? Tell that to all their customers.

Carolina Food Summit opens conversation on hunger, other issues :: The Daily Tar Heel

I think this is stuck somewhere between academia and activison with a sprinkle of augmented reality among those who fork over the big bucks to rub elbows and forks with chefs and other nouveaux riches, alas.

Sibling Rivalry – the facts and fiction | Showbiz Geek

Interesting.
It’s often said that Aldi and Lidl were set up by two rival brothers – but that’s just not true.  Aldi was set up by the Albrecht brothers Karl and Theo and they split the company into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd after a row in the 60’s. 
But neither went off to set up Lidl.
Lidl was actually founded in the 1930s by a member of the Schwarz family.  The name Lidl is the surname of Josef Schwarz’s former business partner Ludwig Lidl.

I hope this turns out to have been worth it and that it does good things.

olive - France 3 Provence-Alpes

More bad news tonight on the same subject on the same show - 75% I think of olive crop lost this year - drought, the invasion of a pest and champignons, I think.
