It's a good sign that a Farmer's Market has gone bad and gotten too full of itself when it starts charging $7.99 for regular tomatoes. That's ridiculous and even the New Yorker complains. (New Yorker)
Toilet-themed restaurant, condom-themed restaurant, fake-cannibal themed restaurant. Just three of the fifteen strangest themed restaurants in the world. (Web Urbanist)
A while back some attentive people noticed Hershey Kisses no longer advertised "milk chocolate" on the package. That's because Hershey changed the ingredients of the Kisses from chocolate to oil and (surprise) they're not the only company changing ingredients to try to boost profits. General Mills and McCormick Spices are also guilty. (WSJ)

The Brookside Farmer's Market is a little nutty as well. It's not unusual to pay $4 for a tomato which I still think is insane.
Not everyone who sells at our River Market on Saturday is a farmer. Regular vendors who are there every day, hire people to sell their produce next to the real farmers. Be careful, you may be buying expired stuff from Price Chopper fro double the price.
