The hullabaloo over hummus is back.

Sunset for Sabra at the PSFC?

Yesterday came earth-shaking news from about the Middle-East: The Brooklyn Paper is reporting that the Park Slope Food Coop is edging toward public debate on whether they should maybe/possibly hold a referendum to join a boycott movement of all things Israeli...a move that has Zionist coop members on the verge of having a cow (Kosher and cruelty-free, of course).
