SAQ a barrier to 'natural' wines  http://www.vinquebec.com/node/8736

C'mon, the worst that can happen is you don't like the wine. A stomach ache maybe instead of a headache from the sulfites? Not even.  Everyone is so afraid of real food it drives me crazy.  Given the industrial food system (90% of the population eating crap daily) and governmental/societal green light to everything ultra sanitized, sterile and denatured, it's not like I'm surprised..  But its AFU! Really!

On Eating Alone  I guess I'm that sort of self-indulgent person - I enjoy making myself careful, sumptuous feasts regularly (often at 2am), my reward after a long day.  And one of my best tasting menu meals was alone (at No.9 Park in Boston).

Food Irradiation - not necessarily a bad idea..  But still not necessary! In a traceable, non-industrial system.  Ok maybe for certain things - dried spices that travel long distances; but I don't want to have to irradiate our tisane or dried mushrooms even if it would make the MAPAQ happy. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/irradiation-and-the-ick-factor/?smid=tw-bittman&seid=auto
