		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had watched Episode 10: "The Good Ol' Days" from Penn &#38; Teller: Bullshit which reminded me of something I had read just a few days before about the changes that took place in European cuisine after the New World was encountered by Columbus. In "The Good Ol' Days" Penn &#38; Teller discuss the cultural nostalgia of the Renaissance Faire with James Given, professor of Medieval History at U.C. Irvine who states "If you go to Renaissance Fair and you see someone gnawing away om a turkey leg that certainly has no real baring on reality. There were no turkeys in the middle ages." But wait, isn't this the Renaissance Faire?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mindfulindividual.wordpress.com&blog=1784287&post=335&subd=mindfulindividual&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This is not so much for the produce, as I find that the fruit and vegetables at the Heart of the City are quite fabulous and much less expensive, but for the items that are harder to find, The Ferry Plaza Market is great!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mindfulindividual.wordpress.com&blog=1784287&post=275&subd=mindfulindividual&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But in times of soaring prices and global financial crisis, the business of getting food to those who need it most becomes an even more daunting task.

&#8220;Here&#8217;s another item for President-Elect Barack Obama&#8217;s to-do list when he takes office in January: food safety. Especially imported foods. Recent scares over melamine-laced cookies from China and salmonella-tainted Mexican jalapenos have raised stark questions: Who&#8217;s monitoring the safety of imported food? And does the system work?&#8221;
