Monday's can be tough, as we all know. Those two-day weekends after all seem to be getting shorter and shorter, and in some cases find us all as busy or even busier than we are on Monday through Friday.
We feel your pain. Therefore, in honor of Manic Monday, we decided to troll the web and bring you some lighter (although lighter doesn't mean less important) reports and stories from the world of food and groceries this morning, rather than starting off Monday with our usual more series stories and analysis pieces. (Those will come later of course.)
So, good Monday morning -- and here you go:

Private label vs name brand snacks
Some people think brand name snack foods are all that. Others think private label brands are just fine. Still others think there's no difference between the two, while some go as far as to call the private label snack items second rate. The folks at the Second Rate Snacks Web site offer a name brand vs private label brand taste at the link below:
