Will we eat anything?

I eat a lot of bad food. Like a real lot. And sometimes it's hard not to get mad at the folks in the kitchen. (Right now I'm eating my way through all the fast-food dollar menus, just to see which ones are worth your buck.) But every now then I have to step back and realize that it's consumer idiocy that allows bad food to be peddled with such regularity. Like this complaint I read about on boingboing and in our own paper: On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" because she believed "crunchberries" were real fruit. Like something you could pick and maybe make jam with.
