FDA Declares Bisphenol-A Plastics Chemical Safe Enough for Babies to Drink
(NaturalNews) In a move that surprised no one, the FDA has aligned itself with the chemical industry and declared that Bisphenol-A, a plastics chemical previously linked to neural defects, is safe enough for babies to drink! Echoing the profit-minded desires of the chemical companies that manufacture plastic products, the FDA said in a draft report that the chemical poses no harm to adults or infants when consumed at typical exposure levels.This is no surprise to anyone who has watched the FDA for very long: The agency's decisions are almost unanimously in favor of private industry and almost never seek to protect the public from exposure to dangerous chemicals, pharmaceuticals or food ingredients. The FDA, it could be reasonably stated, has flatly abandoned the public and sold out to the very industries it is supposed to regulate.Several months ago, The National Toxicology Program (part of the National Institutes of Health) issued a report that warned Bisphenol-A could cause neural problems and behavioral problems in infants and children. That report contributed to a wave of concern that resulted in the following:• Toys 'R Us removed plastic baby bottles from store shelves, resorting to BPA-free bottles.• The BornFree company (www.NewBornFree.com) experienced a surge … [Link]
The Top Twelve Foods for Long Term Storage
(NaturalNews) With the recent surge in food prices it makes sense to buy foods that last and to obtain a bulk discount. However it is pointless to stock up on unhealthy food. During an emergency, having enough snacks won't increase the odds of survival. So what are some of the best foods to stock up on? The keys to consider are: shelf life, bulk price and nutritional content. This article will explore some of the best options.Top 4 Packaged Foods to Store (Indefinite shelf life)1) Jarred Raw Nut Butters - Sesamum indicum (Pedaliacea), Arachis hypogaea (Fabaceae) Having peanut butter, almond butter and sesame tahini (sesame seed butter) will provide for many recipes and a concentrated protein source that is easy to prepare. $5.00 per pound.2) Canned Tomatoes - Solanum Lycopersicum (Solanaceae) The amount of Lycopene, the key phytonutrient in tomatoes, actually becomes more bioavailable when they are canned. Canned tomatoes can be used to make homemade pasta and pizza sauce along with chili. $1.25 per pound.3) Canned Beans - Cicer arietinum (Faboideae), Phaselous vulgaris (Leguminosae) Having cans of black beans, red beans, chili beans and garbanzo beans handy supports a variety of complementary sources of complete protein (when served with … [Link]
Canadian Government Pressured to Ban Junk Food Ads
(NaturalNews) The Toronto board of health has urged the Canadian government to place a total ban on the advertising of junk foods to children.Currently, advertising to children is regulated by self-imposed rules under which 16 food companies have agreed either not to market to children under the age of 12, or to market only their healthier products. But according to Toronto Chief Medical Officer of Health David McKeown, this method of regulation is not effective."Most of the food and beverages advertised heavily to children are poor in nutrients and high in calories," McKeown said. "The rules don't mean that the food being advertised is, in fact … the basis for a healthy diet for a child. It just means that it is somewhat less harmful than their less healthy choices."According to a report published by the health committee of the Canadian parliament, 26 percent of Canadian children between the ages of 2 and 17 are obese or overweight.In a report prepared for the board of health, McKeown said that both healthy and unhealthy eating habits are developed early in life. While this makes it important to expose children to healthy foods while they are young, children see 27 times as … [Link]

Photo of the Day: Brass the Beagle Digs Through Serious Eats Trash
From Serious Eats Photograph taken by Raphael Brion Last time we saw Ed's beagle, Brass, he was poking his head in a dishwashing machine. This morning when he visited the office he hurriedly waddled towards Raphael's trash can (hence why he's a smidge blurry) and rifled through its contents until he found some day-old Chinese barbecue rib bones. If Ed hadn't dragged Brass out of the office, he probably would've sniffed our trash cans for the rest of the day, then moved onto other offices to rifle through their trash cans. And no one could resist, because he's such a cute dog. (I made an indecipherable squeal of happiness when he shuffled into the room.) Check out more photos I took of Brass after the jump. A rare moment where his tongue isn't hanging out. On a mission to find food at the back of the office. Ah, yes, there's the tongue! [Link]

Susie’s Noon Hour Grill in Chicago, Where Syrup Meets Chop Chae
From Serious Eats If Edward Hopper were Korean, he probably wouldn’t have modeled his famous Nighthawks painting after a Greenwich Village diner. Rather, he might have considered Susie’s Noon Hour Grill in Chicago’s Rogers Park. Susie’s doesn’t have much neon but there’s an ample flat-top, a vintage Pepsi cooler, and plenty of cheesy décor including some disturbing clown paintings. The food is a mix of American breakfast diner standards like pancakes and bacon with Korean stalwarts like pa jun and bulgogi. Sometimes the two cultures meet in owner Soon Lee’s (she also goes by Susie) kimchee omelet. There’s plenty of good stuff at Susie’s, including Lee herself—a charming grandmotherly type who does everything from washing dishes to taking and cooking the orders. I stumbled upon Susie’s Noon Hour Grill last week and ordered an array of dishes—all pretty good, but I was really intrigued by the chop chae. Generally the chop chae I’ve come across is a nondescript mass of super-salty limp noodles, flaccid vegetables, and steamed meat. But not this. As I watched Susie make her chop chae, I saw her drop a touch of pancake syrup in the wok. The finished version had a taste of maple (even … [Link]

Dinner Tonight: Summer Salad with Tortellini
From Recipes In the summer, my cooking seriously improves. As long as I can get to a farmers' market and not mess up royally, dinner doesn't take much more effort than chopping everything up, throwing it into a bowl, and covering with oil and lime juice. Blushing red peppers, bursting tomatoes, crisp zucchini, and sweet corn were the inspiration for this summer salad. The interesting twist this time was the use of boiled cheese tortellini. Kicking around in the back of my freezer, the ring-shaped pasta elevated this salad to greatness, without elevating the effort level. Though tortellini may seem unlikely, it gives a chewy richness that I found satisfying. A dinner of all raw vegetables can be too sweet and acidic (not to mention leave you hungry again shortly thereafter). But the tortellini solved this problem. About the author: Blake Royer lives in Brooklyn and spends most of his free time cooking and writing about it here at Serious Eats and on The Paupered Chef. From 9 to 5 weekdays, he works as an assistant book editor in Manhattan. Summer Salad with Tortellini - serves 2 - 1 red pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced into strips 1 large handful … [Link]

Earlier this week, with my heart set on making this delicious scallop dish, I went to one farm stand and three supermarkets—and sent my boyfriend to two more—before finally procuring a bottle of cider at the specialty organic store Key Food on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The only problem? It was a huge, gallon-sized bottle, and all I needed was a single cup. What to do with the leftovers? Make ice cream, of course! Specifically the apple cider ice cream from A is for Apple by Greg Patent and Dorothy Hinshaw Patent, which is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. The recipes are simple and never fail to yield superb results; from the moist, low-fat cinnamon apple cake to the hearty apple cider-marinated beef short ribs. I followed the recipe exactly, except for the last-minute addition of three tablespoons of Applejack (the liqueur made from concentrated hard cider) simply because I had some on-hand. The results were sensational—creamy, apply, and delicately spiced with the flavors of cinnamon and brandy. If you don't have an ice cream maker, Greg and … [Link]
Book on the Axis of Evil Cuisines
From Serious Eats Foreign affairs analyst Chris Fair is now a cookbook author—sorta. She created culinary plans of attack for some of the world's most clashing regions: North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Israel, China, Pakistan, and the United States. Her recently released book Cuisines of the Axis of Evil and Other Irritating States offers a history of each nation's geopolitical sins, followed by regional recipes like Palestinian casserole or in the case of the U.S., beer butt chicken. As she points out, food has always been a metaphor for foreign identity, and it's at dinner parties where we discuss politics. Her findings make a really good case for Kim Jong-il just being hungry every time he got internationally grumpy. Read this interview with her in the Washington Post yesterday. [Link]

Jack in the Box Nacho Cheeseburger
From A Hamburger Today Marvo's burger, and Jack in the Box's press release version. Practically separated at birth! Easily enticed by new menu items, Marvo of product review blog The Impulsive Buy tries Jack in the Box's Nacho Cheese Burger. While I was disappointed to find out that it isn't a cheeseburger topped with tortilla chips, but a cheeseburger topped with sliced jalapenos, it's still slightly more interesting than a plain fast food cheeseburger. Marvo gives it the thumbs up: The jalapenos gave the burger a nice heat, but not enough to think I might have contracted a burning sensation from a drunken starlet. The cheddar cheese sauce added nicely to the burger’s flavor and was as gooey and as radioactive in color as I would expect. The Nacho Cheese Burger is available at Jack in the Box for $1.29. Marvo warns that it's on the small side, so you may need something else to eat with it. Just don't go for the BBQ Bacon Sirloin Burger. [Link]
