What's your favorite good food book/movie/documentary/reporting series etc.?
My vegetarian lifestyle started when I watched a kids news segment on feedlots on Nickelodeon when I was 8 😂 and my favorite good food book I've read since then is Omnivore's Dilemma. (Shoutout to ...
Why the new nutrition labels won't work <- I disagree with this. Do you?
politico.com
This article kind of boils my blood. It doesn't take into account that nutrition labels were paired with advice to reduce fat and no info about sugar. So in that case, i imagine people followed the...

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! Totally agree! The many faces of sugar are highly problematic. I hope we can get simplified labels soon. And yes - great idea - we should get the movie teams on this issue!

etsummer The line about "maybe it's time to start considering genetically modifying foods to make them healthier"...do we have that little faith in the public's disrection? yeesh
Did you know??
That 40% of our corn crop winds up in gas tanks as ethanol and about 8 bushels of corn is only 22 gallons of fuel BUT is also enough to feed a person for a year. Not a huge proponent of an all-corn...

BobDale unbelievable statistics

DietID_TeamDietitians This is heartbreaking. We're using so much of our land for fuel for cars instead of fuel for our bodies

Does anyone know anything about the new Union Fare?
Union Fare
I walked in to check it out, and only the coffee shop was open. The barista said they are opening a restaurant, oyster bar, and artisanal marketplace next door. Have any artisans been approached ab...

Zesty_Z I'm on it! @Rachna Thanks @sugardetoxme

Zesty_Z I stopped by there and got more details. Looks like it'll be more like Chelsea market style hot/prepared foods than packaged items
There's some debate on how to clean and store freshly laid eggs. Also, do they taste different? How long do they last? 🐔🐔
-
Udi I heard that eggs in the US get cleaned in such a way that the protective coating on the outside gets stripped off and that's why we have to refrigerate them. But, freshly laid ones, I think you...

MargaretG My brother, who is a farmer, keeps his eggs unrefrigerated and unwashed up to 2 week but that makes me nervous. I usually refrigerated them even unwashed as soon as I get them from the hen. More:...

JenniferEmilson I've kept mine out for a week with no problem. So far!
Taro root and chayote squash. Any good recipes or suggestions on how to cook these vegetables?

etsummer 😂 I'll stay tuned for what you decide to do with it!
Has anyone ever WWOOF'd in Italy (or anywhere else)? Looking for farm suggestions/general advice for this summer!
-
etsummer Not in Italy but I've WWOOF'd in Chile. My advice is to really do your research and make sure to Skype/do a phone interview with the farm and host you choose beforehand. There is a huuuuuge...

lauren Ah so great to hear! I'll definitely do my research. Chile sounds like an incredible place to go, too 😊 There are just too many places that I want to visit!

Taste Testing the Best Kombucha

Kombucha fans out there? I think I have a realistic view of the stuff, and love its taste and probiotics. Don't think it's a magic cure, but I do drink a lot of it!
-
etsummer I drink it for the energy kick without the crash! Thanks for posting this, I'm excited to see so many new brands popping up
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yea don't think it's magic, but definitely tastes yummy! Better than drinking Snapple for sure

terryhope Magic if trace alcohol indeed, but I just love it when it's less sweet, more tangy, and super bubbly
We all have personal connections to food, and for many of us, the same goes for why we don’t waste it. Do you have a #NoFoodWaste story?

DietID_TeamDietitians I think I was in the same club. My parents were also master reinventers - giving new life to leftovers. I picked up lots of creative tricks from this, and also got very good at planning portions...
Does anyone still make sassafras tea?
I've always loved the lemony smell of sassafras, which is fairly easy to spot in the woods with its mitteny-shaped leaves. The roots can be dried to make a tea early in spring before leaves emerge,...

Such a good question!!!! I wish the books I've read turned into films, but Food Chains really sticks out in my mind

GooseBarry
Agree on Food Chains. I know a lot of people in my community saw FedUp with their kids. I think that also had an impact because it was so widely distributed.
