I know many BB users who would welcome this app.  I am subscribed to WeightWatchers right now and it's bad enough they don't have a a scanner for Blackberry.  Please add us to your group.

Thanks in advance, Charlie Holtermann Hi Hemi,

Our daughter is at university in the UK, and I was wondering if your Android app would work there for her- she’s very keen to find out more about the products she buys.

Thanks in advance,

We are working with the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) on their Taste Success campaign, which aims to change the perceptions of the industry and to raise its profile. The reason that food manufacturers have made this work a priority is because the industry faces a serious shortage of talent in the not too distant future. By 2017 the industry will require 137,000 new recruits and already 1 in 5 food sciences roles is hard to fill.   Having spent some time busting the myths around working in the food industry and building a bank of case studies that young people can identify with, the digital phase of the campaign which we’re involved with, has the objective of getting more young people interested in the food and drink industry as a career destination of first choice. To that end we have created a couple of fun videos, a website and a game on Facebook for the digital phase of the campaign in order to engage with young people in the best way possible.   We are convinced that we can reach out to many young individuals who will be carefully considering where they might go next. Through the campaign we want to highlight that there are so many different types of opportunities available to them and the food industry is a great path for anyone's career. Our aim is to highlight the positive aspects of working in everything from engineering to marketing to food science.   The reason why I am contacting you personally is that I have been following your blog and what you’ve written about food and wanted to ask if you could maybe write a post or just link to our campaign website. Your blog is a great forum for people with an interest in food and we would be more than happy for just a small comment or even a link to one of our videos.       Follow this link to find FDF’s campaign website with all the videos and further information; http://bit.ly/fdftastesuccess Hi Hemi,

They used it on EVERYTHING and it was very expensive. After watching how they made it (fermented fish and salt left for days!) I was a bit put off, but fermentation makes for some great food too!

Fooducate has absolutely no relationship with the food, drug, diet or supplement industries." LOL!  Unless it's Heather and her pointless "HINT" water and spammy links! What did you get for letting her write that commercial on your site? A few cases of the junk? “Topics include nutrition fact labels, hard to pronounce ingredient names, “health claims”, and other marketing tricks to watch out for at the supermarket.

However, you fell from the sky HARD with yesterday's RIDICULOUS "HINT" water post.  What a sell-out.  I have lost all respect for this site and won't be reading, recommending or linking to it on my blog any more.  I really thought you were above that kind of thing.  And, for the record, if the post had been a thinly-veiled plug for an actual FOOD, like one written by someone on the payroll of The Carrot Farmers' Association or something, I would STILL be offended. I was under the impression this is an independent forum, not a platform for particular brands, foods or interests.  Bye!

I decided immediately to purchase it.  However, it wasn't available for a Canadian account.  Even when itunes offered to switch me over to the American store, it would not accept my Canadian password and email address.  Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
