Oh, the things you'll learn!

I love licorice; always have, always will. And I'm very glad to hear that licorice is "touted as a healthier snack food because it contains almost no fat per serving."

You can learn about how licorice (and other less important things like gyroscopes and EKG machines) are made and the manufacturing processes involved at a great resource site called How Products Are Made.

I served the kids tofu yesterday, and knew enough to say that it's a protein food from plants. Although I've since learned it's actually intentionally curdled soy milk, I think I might keep that little bit of knowledge to myself...
