He'd be pretty old - Capone died in 1947.

Food-processing giant Kraft Foods (United States) is one of these
pioneers. In 2000, it financed a consortium of 15 universities and
research laboratories, Nanotek, to design "smart" and personalized food,
food that might contain hundreds of nanocapsules, filled with different
flavors, nutrients and colors. A microwave oven could activate,
according to the wave frequency, such and such a capsule, according to
the consumer's desire - a kind of interactive food that may even
transform itself if a person is allergic to an ingredient or release a
dose of nutritional supplement if it detects deficiencies. Kraft Foods,
the designer of this project, owns the chocolate brands Milka, Cte dOr,
Toblerone, Suchard, and coffee brands Carte Noir, GrandMre, Jacques
Vabre and Maxwell. Imagine tomorrow, your pink-colored banana-flavored
coffee that delivers your daily dose of vitamin C ... Or chocolate that
releases carrot aromas as it treats your hangover. Terrific, no?

I just thought I'd pass along a couple of more sites that a previous
post provided.

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8326
The report, Out of the Laboratory and onto Our Plates: Nanotechnology in
Food and Agriculture, found nanomaterials in popular products and
packaging including Miller Light beer, Cadbury Chocolate packaging and
ToddlerHealth, a nutritional drink powder for infants sold extensively
at health food stores including WholeFoods.

http://www.foe.org/healthy-people/na...no-agriculture
Friends of the Earth's new report, "Out of the Laboratory and On To Our
Plates" finds that untested nanotechnology is being used in more than
100 food products, food packaging and contact materials currently on the
shelf, without warning or FDA testing.

Now it's a little more fair and balanced.

We have the regular old bluejays, northern flickers (they do sound
exotic) red bellied peckerwoods, hairy and downy peckerwoods, white
breasted and red breasted nuthatchs and brown creepers... all of the
above devour suet cakes like crazy. (so do the #%$&&@ starlings)


Four and 20 black birds baked in a pie...comes to mind. Size 8 shot.

Charlie, how do you water birds when it is 0F outside?


I use a horse water bucket heater. On at 35 and cheap as it doesn't
carry the pond stigma price gouge. My pond open all this winter.

I bought a 150 watt submersible heater and have it in a black two
gallon rubbermaid pan sitting on top of the birdbath. Shuts off when
water temp reaches thirty-five.



ahhhh....sounds cozy....I miss the "old days" with the woodstoves and
a cat curled on yer lap...still have a nap kitty though.


My gas fireplace is cool real cool as the thermocouple failed 2 weeks
ago. My Back up. Got service sort of on the way with old man winter
still about but my roof is almost clear. Gutters dripping and homemade
chicken soup in the work which I may add a hint of egg drop soup idea.

Ok I'm Back only because of the zealots.

One must be careful and bake well done on account of starlings
carrying E. coli (and other pathogens), from their dabbling in
cowshit. What herbs would you recommend with starling?


Starlings seem to like bread crumbs. Not their fault they were
introduced in the US.
