"instant" news and stories

The Independent has an article about people committing food fraud--making meals using ready-made packages and passing it off as their own creation. They say that 40% of young women have done this, as compared to only 22% of young men. The survey strikes a chord with the older generations--are the younger generations simply incompetent in life skills? Should home economics be reinstated to teach these essentials?

I don't know anyone who has ever tried to commit food fraud--in fact, I feel that cooking is actually making a comeback amongst the young people in the US. But perhaps I'm hanging out with a skewed crowd. What do you think? Is the next generation simply an instant meal kind of crowd?

Asian instant noodle soups is a German blog that reviews various instant noodle products. If you've ever searched through an Asian supermarket in a quest to find instant noodles, you know it's simply ridiculous to try to wade through the insane multitude of the different products. Although the Google translation is a bit weak at times, you can browse through looking at the various scores to find out which noodles might be worth a try. Seriously, I haven't even heard of half of these brands, let alone know what they taste like (and trust me, there are a lot of disappointing noodles out there).
