2012-05-13 New York Times writer Mark Bittman urges better diet at Dallas talk Dallas/Fort Worth

He acknowledged up front that his 45-minute talk would be a complicated one, as it covered broad topics such as the role of government in our diet, and how climate change, our energy policy, and agriculture are inter-related. "Theyre all so big, and if you change one, youve gotta change them all," he said.

He said that it seemed unlikely an entire population would shift to a vegan diet, and that he wasnt urging that. But he encouraged everyone to shift in that direction, because they would reap personal benefits and benefits for the planet.

2012-05-10 McCook Daily Gazette: Column: : Pink slime is out, but bugs are in

Beef Products Inc. was forced to bow to reality Monday, announcing the closure of plants in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kansas; and Waterloo, Iowa because of reduced consumer demand resulting from the pink slime hysteria. A plant in South Sioux City, Nebraska, will limp along at a reduced capacity, in hopes that the public will somehow return to its senses.

If youre on a low-carb diet, consider eating silk worm pupae or termites, both lacking carbohydrates but rich in protein and calories, but slackers when compared to caterpillars, which have 28 grams of protein per 100 grams, as well as iron, thiamine and niacin.

2012-05-08 Odd Snack Flavors Prove Successful For International Food Companies

Food makers long have tinkered with their products to appeal to regional tastes, but getting the recipe just right is becoming more important than ever. Thats partly because people in developing nations such as China and India are gaining more of an appetite for American-style "on-the-go" foods as they work longer hours and have less time to cook. But its mostly because snack makers increasingly are looking for growth in other parts of the world as sales slow at home.

2012-05-04 Fabio Parasecoli: Barter, Food, and Recession in Italy

The apparent contradiction between the rise in total food sales and the increasing frugality among the population can be partly explained by the growing inequalities in Italian society, which are reflected in the polarization of eating habits. According to the 2011 Report of ISMEA (institute of Services for the Agricultural Food Markets), the sales of high-end products with such geographical indication increased 13. 75 percent between 2009 and 2010, precisely when all the other food sectors were suffering the most. While the few who can afford to do it still enjoy spending at the table, many Italians might be forced to go back to the Mediterranean diet that their parents and grandparents were relieved to abandon during the decades of economic growth, as a mark of poverty and backwardness. It is unclear how these developments will

2012-04-10 Food deserts leave poor searching for nutrition

The concern over food deserts is mainly about families not getting proper nutrition; if families have a harder time getting to sources of healthful, affordable food, they may consume less of those foods, which could lead to poorer diets, said Alisha Coleman-Jensen, a sociologist from the USDAs Economic Research Service. Research has not established a clear cause-and-effect relationship between food-store access and maladies such as obesity. But public health experts say healthful diets may help reduce risks of developing long-term illnesses such as hypertension and heart disease.

2012-04-03 Gulfnews : Sharjah puts goodness of milk back into childrens diet

Milk and its derivative products are a rich source of dietary calcium, but also provide protein, phosphorous as well as vitamins A and D. While milk benefits the body, negative side effects are caused due to over-consumption of milk products beyond the recommended daily allowance of three to eight ounces (0. 08 to 0. 2 litres). For adults, three cups of dairy products are recommended per day.

Our mission here is to raise the awareness of healthy eating habits, especially in schools where breakfast is served that should include milk and dairy products," Shaikh Mohammad Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Assistant Undersecretary and Director of Sharjah Medical District, said.
