She Spills The Beans: Food News of Note

About

What's All This Then?

I'm Jocelyn. I used to write this blog, before I became bedridden with presumed XMRV/XAND. That happened in December 2007. I first fell ill in May 2004. I hope someday to cook again, but I'm not producing any new content right now.

I live in Washington, PA now; when I was writing this I was living in Fresno, CA.

***

I blog vegetarian recipes and occasional marketing snark. Originally from Northern Virginia, I ditched out on an acting degree from NYU because the city's food stores and greenmarkets were much more interesting.

I spent twelve years in the food industry, as a cheesemonger, tiny cog in a vast major cereal company machine and as a marketing jill-of-all-trades at a produce commodity group.

I am a Non-Compensating Vegetarian.

When I disappear, it may not be that I'm being a bad blogger. I live with XMRV/XAND.

Food News of Note

This morning, as I was sleepily reading the Food Institute Update, I came upon this blurb:

“The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Linda McCartney brand frozen meat-free business from the H. J. Heinz Company, including the manufacturing facility based in Fakenham, England.”

I blinked. A vegetarian foods company that makes meat analog products and has a manufacturing facility in Fakenham?

Seriously? Did they plan it that way?

Read the whole press release here, if you care to. No additional Fakenham jokes, sadly.
