Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week the real science of GMO foods, how to order smarter at restaurants, and a surprisingly effective tactic for quitting smoking.
Too busy to read them all? Try this awesome free speed reading app I just discovered to read at 300+ wpm. So neat!
Want to see all my favorite links? (There’s lots more). Be sure to follow me on Delicious. I also share links on Twitter @summertomato and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you. (Yes, I took that picture of the pepper heart myself.)

What inspired you this week?
Interesting how much food and diet advice hinges on dated thinking. A preoccupation with fat, saturated fat, sodium, cholesterol & calories points to the challenges ahead.
