Where the American Diet Went Wrong

By perfect On July 1, 2015 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Food Labeling, Food Safety, Nutrition
7up for babies. Straight from the advert: This young man is 11 months old – and he isn’t our youngest customer by any means. For 7up is so pure, so wholesome, you can even give it to babies and feel good about it. Look at the back of a 7up bottle. Notice that our ingredients [...]

Your Seafood is Probably Fake – And You Probably Don’t Care

By perfect On February 26, 2013 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Eating Out, Fish, Food Labeling, Food Origin, Ingredients, Seafood
A report by Oceana revealed that testing showed a third of all fish sold retail is mislabeled. Actually, considering the widespread ignorance of seafood varieties in the USA, I’m surprised it’s only a third. Please don’t get angry. If you’re a seafood  expert, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to the other 95 % [...]

Buttermilk (and Butter) Making a Comeback

By perfect On September 14, 2012 · Add Comment · In Dairy, health, Uncategorized
Buttermilk is a delicious and long forgotten drink. The word is around – buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk dressing – but there isn’t any buttermilk in them. Yes, you’ve been hoodwinked again by the ginat food companies. The “buttermilk” in these dressings, the “buttermilk” in cartons if you can find it, is (according to this article about [...]

Tomatoes Aren’t Bred for Flavor, Silly!

By perfect On June 30, 2012 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Fresh produce, fruits, health, vegetables
The news flash of the week is a study out of the University of California at Davis which reveals that we have bred the flavor out of tomatoes in our search for tomatoes with a nice healthy red color. Really, this is the tip of the iceberg. Vegetables and fruits are bred for far flung [...]

The Secret Coca-Cola Ingredients

By perfect On May 25, 2012 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Ingredients, Nutrition, Recipes
I’ll have to admit I have no idea whether this is correct, or even close, to the secret of Coca-Cola ingredients. I have no idea where the image came from even, except I lifted it off Jame’s Altucher’s blog – and I know he didn’t create it. The recipe was cited in this article in [...]

How to Live to 100

By perfect On May 24, 2012 · Add Comment · In Food, health, longevity, Nutrition, Uncategorized
Silly calling this post “How to Live to 100.” It’s not really fair. Without any question, the absolute best way to ensure you live to 100 years old is…. …be 99 years old! If you’ve made it to 99, you have a 67.6% chance of making it to next year, according to a 2011 UK [...]

USDA Study Proves What Anybody With a Bit of Sense Knows – It’s Cheaper to Eat Healthy

By perfect On May 18, 2012 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Food, Nutrition, Weight Loss
It has been very fashionable to talk about “food desert” and other imagined afflictions that provide convenient excuses for not eating well. The whole idea that people in poorer neighborhoods don’t have access to fresh foods also plays nicely into certain themes starring the oppressed poor. This has always been a transparent ploy, as poor [...]

Sushi Food Poisoning Sparks Another Absurd Law

By perfect On April 17, 2012 · Add Comment · In Consumer Awareness, Food laws, Food Safety, Japanese food
A few cases of salmonella, possibly from sushi, and the government jumps into the fray to make things worse once again. First the “official” report, a report from Bloomberg that takes the easy road and doesn’t investigate any of the details: Eating a spicy tuna roll shouldn’t make you sick. Nor should eating cantaloupe, cold [...]

Kobe Beef in America is all Fake

By perfect On April 15, 2012 · Add Comment · In Beef, Consumer Awareness, Food, Japanese food, Meat
I’m not a food purist. If people want to take a fine cut of Kobe beef and destroy it by grinding it up and making a hamburger of it, that’s up to them. But it’s a terrible waste of precious food. So imagine my relief to be reassured that all those Kobe beef burgers are [...]

Weight Loss More than Just Calories in Versus Calories Burned

By perfect On April 6, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Nutrition, Weight Loss
The American Society for Nutrition published a “consensus statement” in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that challenged the common notion that one could lose weight simply by measuring calories burned versus calories eaten – the kind of thinking that says “I can eat a cheeseburger this morning if I run an extra 2 miles [...]
