Greetings snacklings! As you may have noticed, my posting has been quite sporadic lately. Well this week, I finally had some quality time away from the soul-sucking job to focus on blogging. I was excited.
To kick off my Thanksgiving break, I took the Mrs. over to Walt Disney World for some spa and theme park action in honor of the day of her birth. We made it through two fun days, including checking out the New Fantasyland (kinda cool, if not a stylistic ripoff of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter). Sadly, on the last ride of our final day, tragedy struck.
My beloved Olympus FE-240 camera, which I’ve had for years, and which provided every single picture for this blog, took a flying leap from my hoodie pouch. I now believe it resides in pieces at the bottom of Space Mountain. My wife made me leave my name with Guest Services, but I am not hopeful. Even if it were to be found, I doubt any kind of Jiminy Cricket wishing would’ve kept it in one piece, and functional, after such a fall.
So, until I find a replacement photographing machine, it would seem Food Junk will be down for a few weeks. Stick with me snacklings! I shall return, renewed an eager for more processed food product pontificating!
See you then, guys and girls!
Olympus FE-240, rest in pieces.
Cue Sarah McLachlan.
You could probably get a good replacement from B&H. Here’s the website in case you don’t already have it:

Thank you
Cameras have moved on quite a bit since then, so if you’re comfortable with that model of camera and the images it produced, you can pick one up on eBay for under $20 – the link below is for recently completed auctions to give you an idea of what’s available.

Good luck getting back on track.
Your camera must now be resting in the arms…of….an angel…. Sorry I couldn’t resist! RIP camera. Hope you find a great new one soon!
Haha, I was hearing ” I Will Remember You” with a montage of me and the phone having good times together
Oh no! That’s the worst feeling in the world. I lost my Nikon at MOMA in NYC, and was bereft. May you find a new sidekick soon! ‘Til then, we’ll miss you.
Ugh, it stink! And thanks!
does it really take THAT long to buy a new camera?
also, your blog is amazing
and the reason I’m being a grouch is because I don’t want to have to wait even more weeks before getting to read a new post (AND SEE THE PHOTOS THOSE ARE MY FAVS)

Thanks! And I’m working on it. It won’t be that long
With the amount of great cameras appearing nowadays, maybe its just asking you to replace it already. Tho I feel you, it’s always sad when gadgets get lost, broken, or just plain stop functioning.
I’m excited to replace it. It bugs me not knowing what happened to it. I’m 98% sure it fell out on Space Mountain. 98!
Hopefully you’ll get a spiffy new camera you’ll love, and then Disney will find and return your working old camera!
I don’t know. I’m not buying it. Some other reason you’re not blogging?
Well of course there is my laziness. But the camera provides and even better excuse! Cam shopping this weekend!
Nevertheless. My devotion remains unmitigated.
Haha, thanks!
RIP, Olympus, FE-240. We eagerly await the return of more of your delectable (and quite informative!) critique on junk food.
Thanks!
Oh no! The pictures on this site are amazing, I wish you luck in finding a suitable replacement.
Thank you!
