Does anyone know where the name "fast casual" came from?
These restaurants are indeed fast and casual, but the moniker is a combination of fast food and casual encounters, of which it is neither. I find it to be a peculiar choice. Is there a better name ...

Udi Good question, I've also wondered about this.
What is the best way to incorporate tomatoes, specifically, that have reached their end in look and feel?
-
mirasingh This happens to me all the time because I always over-buy tomatoes. Slice and toss the moldy parts. If you have more than one, these are great for a shakshukah. You can also make a tomato jam like...

sugardetoxme I always do tomato sauce or gazpacho!

olivettefarm Tomato jam or chutney are top on my list! Storing your tomatoes in a cool, dark space will help slow down the ripening/over-ripening process.

I am a total pepper lover! I recently purchased a black & white pepper mill, but I don't actually know the difference between peppercorns.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians As far as I know, black peppercorns started out green, but were dried, so that is why they are now black. White peppercorn also started out green, but they had their skin removed and are...

sugardetoxme White red green black are all the same plant. I have a peppercorn plant in my home now!

sugardetoxme I prefer seasoning with white pepper. A lot less strong than black
Should SNAP benefits exclude sodas and other sugary drinks?
I'm curious for people to weigh in on this topic. Currently the government spends $80BN on SNAP and over $2BN is used to purchase sodas and related drinks.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I've been waiting for confirmation on this stat. It's a huge amount of money and the sad part is that these soda companies are getting $2bn in revenue from the government. I see the point that...

MrsXtina I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, as I grew up as a child on food stamps, before there were so many other uses for the funds. The options were so limiting and the access to GOOD food was just...

DietID_TeamDietitians Thanks for sharing @MrsXtina!
What is your quick go-to dinner?
Mine is whatever veggies are in the fridge + salt + olive oil + heat. Or toss raw veg in some kind of sauce. Yay sides for dinner!

lauren Funny you say that, I *just* ate a giant bowl of roasted kale sprouts for dinner!

marynfulton2 Mine is some kind of stir-fry. Leftover grain, tofu/chickpea/egg, whatever veggies are in the fridge, and rice vinegar, tamari, ginger, and sriracha (all staples in my fridge) topped with cashews,...

DietID_TeamDietitians Best fast dinner - sautéed edamame, greens, and garlic topped with a pouched egg, hot sauce, and hummus or avocado.
#FoodFail "Healthy choices" plastered all over a soda fridge. At checkout. At a hospital. How is this a thing?
so much is wrong here: Soda is the only drink at check out AND it's wrapped in messaging that it's healthy, and paired with a decal that tells you to "balance what you eat, drink, and do." Serious ...

JenniferEmilson Veggie chillies are always great as well. Good fibre, taste, and the amount of spice you add can warm you from the inside out!!
