After taking heat from the beef industry, the USDA officially retracted a statement made in an interoffice newsletter endorsing Meatless Mondays. USDA spokeswoman Cortney Rowe said the department does not endorse the "Meatless Monday" initiative. Apparently, the statement published on the department's website earlier this week was posted without the proper clearance.
Drumroll, please. The first American restaurant to set up shop in Libya is...a Cinnabon. Nation's Restaurant News reports that the store opened in Tripoli on July 2 after months of delay stemming from the country's civil war.
