The Pepsification of America

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure which quandrant this goes into, maybe

there is a 3rd axis for humor ...

I thought it was interesting from a food perspective

(is Pepsi a food?). The FDA IS persuing a branding

campaign for " locally grown food " which I actually

think isn't a bad idea ... the idea is that farmers in

a local area could market at the local supermarkets

under a " homegrown " brand, so locally grown food

could be " branded " as the consumers are used

to buying, and therefore advertised.

The fact you have to " brand " something to get

people to buy it says a lot about our country?
