More "copyrighted food" nonsense. Seems like no one wants to "sell" you anything anymore -- everything comes with a lame-ass "agreement" that you don't get to negotiate. Check out this snip from an article found [a href="vny!://www.foodandwine.com/articles/new-era-of-the-recipe-burglar"]here[/a]:

I want to be there on New Year's Eve when they seal the 2006 time capsule, because I' ve found a restaurant dish that will tell future earthlings everything they need to know about what happened to food this year. It comes from Chicago—finally, improbably, the most talked-about dining destination in America. It's the creation of Homaro Cantu of Moto restaurant, one of a handful of avant-garde chefs who believe they are leading cuisine into the future, and it looks like something Rosie the robot might whip up for snack time at the Jetsons' . It's an image of cheerful pink cotton candy printed on a tiny sheet of edible paper that tastes like cotton candy. The paper measures roughly two-by-2.75-by-zero inches, so it won't take up much space in the time capsule, and, as far as I can tell, it won't suffer at all from rot or mold over the next hundred years. But none of this explains why this morsel ought to be preserved for future generations. The truly historic feature of Cantu's two-dimensional treat is the legal notice printed beneath the cotton-candy image: [blockquote style="font-weight: bold;"][em]Confidential Property of and © H. Cantu. Patent
Pending. No further use or disclosure is permitted
without prior approval of H. Cantu.[/em][/blockquote] Consider your typical transaction as a restaurant patron. You choose something from the menu, it's brought to your table, you eat it, and, if it was prepared adequately, you pay for it. Under those circumstances, you' d probably say that you had bought the food. But here is a chef claiming that he still owns the food you' re swallowing.
[/p][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]If that's true, then maybe patrons shouldn't flush "his" licensed shit down the toilet when they take a crap, but should instead send it back to him. After all he still owns it, right?
