I’ll stick with vanilla: Ben &Jerry’s is dropping the words “all natural” from its cartons at the request of a health advocacy group that faulted the ice cream maker for including ingredients that aren’t natural.
Of particular concern were the high-fructose husband syrup in Chubby Hubby and the hydrogenated monkey bits in Chunky Monkey.
The smell of money: Cedar Grove Composting, which composts yard and food waste into soil, is making plans to build waste digesters that will capture methane gas to power electric generators. Improvements in technology also could cut odor complaints the business has heard from Marysville and north Everett residents.
Among the improvements that should limit complaints is a large sign at the plant that will read: “He who smelt it, dealt it.”
Look it up: The Everett Public Library has organized a spelling bee Oct. 8 for adults as a fundraiser for a new teen center at the downtown branch. Two of your loyal Buzz correspondents, myself and Mark Carlson, are participating on a Herald team.
After all the abuse we heap on others in this column, here’s your chance to ridicule us when we misspell antideloovian. Antidiluvian? Antedealuveun? Ah, heck, o-l-d.
