In Good Taste: In food, fast doesn't always mean healthy
Mar 02 2010, 1:43 PM Fast food is quick, easy and tastes really good to many people, however I was shocked to read this: According to the 2006 film “Fast Food Nation,” “Americans now spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos and recorded music — combined.”

Iconic 'Grapes of Wrath' comes to Bainbridge
Mar 16 2010, 1:23 PM Ma Joad, her hair bound in one long, single braid, kneels quietly at the edge of her father-in-law's grave. She places a small marker on the mound, and the crease in her brow deepens. Nearby sits a truck, a tired machine where a handful of people hang from its every surface; the rungs of its wooden bed rails, the rusted canopy above the cab.

"I can't think of a more iconic American story," said director Kate Carruthers. "It's not a depressing story. It's a story of hope and inspiration and love."
