I really want one of these chairs, it is called "The Louis Ghost Chair" and it has a LG carved in pretty cursice on the frint where your back rests... It won all these design awards back in 2002 it was desined for Kartell, and I think I am in love. I am going to buy one for a little office corner that I am going to create in my room, and if I could design a dream table to go with it, it would have lucite legs and an old wooden top.. I wish I could find this so bad... I think i like the clear or the black...yeah..

Is there a bug in your food?
Cochineal, a food colouring made from beetle shells is still being used in the US to add a red or pink tint to icecream, yogurts and sweets.

IS THERE A BUG IN YOUR FOOD?
Food manufacturers in the US don't have to list cochineal, the food colouring made from beetles, as an ingredient on the label because it's natural, according to the Wall Street Journal. Only man-made dyes have to be declared. Cochineal is particularly attractive to food companies because it gives a vivid red or pink colour to ice cream, yogurt and fruit drinks as well as being used in some pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Vegetarians, people with food allergies and people who keep 'kosher' may have a problem with cochineal. The american public health advocacy group, Centre for Science in the Public Interest says that cochineal may cause allergic reactions that include 'sneezing, asthma, and anaphylactic shock'. For more information on cochineal see www.cspinet.org
we don't need to eat the bugs... :( makes me sad.
