Valentine’s Day Deals: Romance in the Form of Heart-Shaped Meat, Fast Food By Candle Light
This Valentine's Day, you can serve your sweetie a heart-shaped donut for breakfast, follow it up with heart-shaped pizza for lunch, then a heart-shaped pretzel mid-afternoon snack, and finally a heart-shaped steak for dinner. That’s if you don’t already have reservations for White Castle, of course. Here are a few of the promotions—heart-shaped and otherwise—being aimed at consumers celebrating Valentine’s this year: GREASE BY CANDLELIGHT Two working class, decidedly unfancy restaurant chains—White Castle and Waffle House—are once again offering “romantic” dinner specials that’ll appeal to the irony-minded crowd. Look for table service complete with white linens and candlelight, as well as the usual selection of fried food. Reservations are required, though your date isn’t required to stay once she finds out where you’re eating.

Beer pong: AB InBev to fight hard for Modelo
The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit to block the merger of two giant beer companies, saying the deal would limit competition and lead to higher prices for American consumers. But legal experts and industry analysts say Anheuser-Busch InBev will eventually be successful in its bid to acquire all of Modelo Group, the Mexican brewer of Corona and other beers.

Birth Rate Plunges During Recession
The youngest baby boomers will begin turning 50 next year, a noteworthy milestone in the graying of America. But the more important data point may be this: Last year, the birth rate in America fell to the lowest level in recorded history. These may be separate developments but they are part of the same ominous story. As our largest generation moves toward full-on retirement we are minting what promises to be our smallest generation, a group that from the very beginning of its working years will face the impossible task of supporting millions of entitled old fogeys. Something will have to give. The U.S. birth rate slid by 8% in recent years, reaching 63.2 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age in 2011, according to a report from the Pew Research Center.

Thursday, October 18, 2012 - 13:27 Ronaldo Schemidt/AFP/Getty Images A woman picks tomatoes in a supermarket in Mexico City. Florida tomato farmers are pushing the Obama administration to end a 16-year old tomato import agreement with Mexico. Critics smell election-year pandering and worry about Mexican retaliation against other U.S. industries. The U.S. could be on the brink of a new trade war. And it all comes down to tomatoes. Florida farmers have used their election year clout to press the Obama administration to revise a 16-year-old agreement with Mexico over the price of imported tomatoes. But the farmers avoid bellicose rhetoric. “There is no war involved here. There is simply an issue of trying to return to a free and unmanaged trade environment,” says Reggie Brown, executive vice-president of the Florida Growers Exchange, a trade association. What’s seen as fairness for American farmers is interpreted as just the opposite by growers across the border. The dispute centers around ...
