    Wheat Thins Sundried Tomato & Basil Crackers Stacy L.

    Wheat Thins Sundried Tomato & Basil Crackers

    Picked these up once on a whim, and the moment I tried one I swear these reminded me of pizza flavored Goldfish crackers. The verdict: move over Jay's, because I couldn't stop eating these! The tomato flavor, however fake or natural it was, made this crunchy treat so satisfying to crunch into. I even ate them without dip - the flavor was already very good!

    The Snack Factory Everything Pretzel Crisps Stacy L.

    The Snack Factory Everything Pretzel Crisps

    We like to sample these chips on the weekends, and everybody comes over to our counter to try some (even other employees from different departments)! The regular pretzel crisps are pretty good, but if you want to kick it up a notch, try the "everything" kind. These chips are pretty much a staple with some good taco dip or creamier varieties (pesto parmesan dip, anyone?). The lightness of the crisp and its splendid crunch make for a good, versatile snacking chip.

    Kerrygold Regular Sliced Irish Swiss Stacy L.

    Kerrygold Regular Sliced Irish Swiss

    My goodness, what a strong taste and smell! That was my first reaction when I tried a piece of Kerrygold. Bitingly Swisslike with a bitter aftertaste that's not quite unpleasant, I would pair this strong cheese with a relatively mellow or sweeter meat, like honey turkey or maybe even some corned beef. It's pretty good as a sliced cheese, but I don't know how snackable this would be - you'd have to have something pretty salty to balance out the bitterness factor.

    Organic Stacy L.

    This is food-related and at the same time, it's also a book-related discussion: has anyone here read "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan? It's the first book I've ever read that's only about food, but there were a lot of interesting points in there. Here are a few highlights:

    1.) Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. - It's also the first line of the book, so these words will either be an interesting attention-getter or a turn-off for people who are thinking this book is trying to convert them to vegetarianism. Basically, argues Pollan, Americans are eating too much meat and the extra meat is taking the place that larger portions of vegetables used to occupy on the dinner table.

    2.) When shopping at the supermarket, avoid the middle aisles if you want to evade processed, fatty foods    ... - stick to the side walls of the supermarket where they have things like produce and fruits. At a lot of grocery stores, the produce section is literally right there at the entrance (on purpose? I think so!), and so many people just pass it by for the Hamburger Helper and Rice-a-roni aisle!

    3.) Don't buy anything at the grocery store that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food! (This one made me laugh, but I really did think about that for a while.)

    He mentioned going to Farmer's Markets to get the best organic or close to organic produce, as well as mentioning some type of box of in-season veggies that people can order, although I've forgotten what it was called at the moment.

    Anybody read this book/have something to say?
