Senate bill would block mandatory labeling of GMOs
bigstory.ap.org
I'm still not sure what I think on GMO and labeling. Im pro-labels in general but not positive if GMO labels do anything besides give insinuations on GMO products that are uncertain. Any thoughts?

Riki Wow fascinating! Am going to try it for sure. it's heartbreaking to think how many Avo pits I' ve disposed of in the past .

DietID_TeamDietitians @Metabrew this blew our minds!

KOMEEDA Good to know!!!
Food friends! How do you talk to non-food friends about meat?
I like to cook large hunks of (humanely raised) meat for celebratory gatherings (a consequence of my Chinese upbringing- rarely cook meat otherwise). But I always find myself stymied as to how to t...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! I usually bring it up as a part of explaining the menu including where the veggies came from, so it's not a political statement but rather just a statement of fact. Sometimes I...

tinabeans Great points all around @Rachna! Usually i just bring food to the table and let all have at it! But marking the start of the meal in a more intentional way may be in order :)
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yea but @akhilg2002 would know if I sound preachy... I might! :/
If you're in northern Cali, check out Amy's drive thru for locally sourced, vegetarian fast food! Has anyone been here?

Amy's Drive Thru
I had never heard of this place, but I'm glad I read this piece. For all the legacy fast food joints who find it hard to change to healthier practices, it looks like Amy's has nailed it! Any Northe...

annefood Never been but that looks awesome! Love the living roof. It's about time someone did something of the sort!
Learning how to poach eggs! Anyone have tips?
Made a speedy breakfast with @akhilg2002 of mushrooms topped with poached eggs and homegrown basil (yes the basil is still alive!). Not perfect, but these eggs turned out better than before. I trie...
-
JenniferEmilson Yes- while you are waiting for your water to boil, and then drop to a moderate summer, crack your egg onto a small sieve (like you light use for tea) set over a cup. Let it drain all the loose bits...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Oh wow I was stirring like crazy! I'll try this next time. Thanks!
-
marynfulton2 Add a little vinegar to your water! It helps the egg stay together as well 😊
What is your favorite bitter green and how do you prepare it?
Sweet beets with ricotta salata and rich toasty hazelnuts are a great foil for these bitter dandelion greens!
-
JenniferEmilson I still like chard, chicory or even radicchio (even though it's not green!!)
Love hard boiled eggs, but have a hard time taking the shell off. Any good tricks to share with me?
-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.
-
sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works

lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
First time in to a shakeshack. Question: anyone know if Danny Meyer has committed to using non GMO soy oil to fry his fries? I didn't try the fries as the server could not give an answer!
Shake Shack
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Good question! I know they committed to #non-GMO buns, but don't know about the oil. @KyleMcCullers should know
Love Inday. Love Chinese and Thai food as well. Anyone know of any healthy spots in NY?
INDAY
Inday is full of flavor and caters to all diets. So Delicious.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I've always wanted to go there! Looks amazing. Hu serves paleo food which I like to eat when I don't want any grains. It's on 5th Ave between 13th and 14th St.
-
SimplySeema @darkchocolatepeanutbutter yes, love Hu. Thank you. If you discover any Chinese or Thai spots that you recommend, do let me know. :)

lauren Wow need to check it out!

The question of "certainty" is it's own issue because a ton of new research has come out on the topic, so I won't comment on that. But as far as labels go, it's really about knowing what's in your...

I do agree with @Rachna...why not label? it's giving consumers a chance to be more informed and responsible eaters, and it's their job to do that research to decide if it's something they want to...
