Before I start today’s post, I am going to tell you about something completely random and unrelated. Since this blog is called Food Finance Travel, a reader recently asked me why there is nothing posted about finance. Therefore, starting today, at the end of every post, I am going to mention up to 3 interesting things I read about during the day.

The next few items ranged from just ok to good:
