Slow Day in Food News

I had planned on doing a link roundup today, but I couldn't find much food news of interest. I did find one item, though, that reminded me of this great conversation from one of my favorite movies, Raising Arizona:

"When there was no meat, we ate fowl. When there was no fowl, we ate crawdads. And when there was no crawdads to be found, we ate sand."
"You ate what?"
"We ate sand."
"You ate SAND?"
"That's right, we ate sand."

In that spirit, I give you this: a man in China claims that eating sand cured his cancer. (I told you it was a slow news day.)
