2008-04-30 The truth about trans fats - Fall River, MA - The Herald News

Bills to limit or ban trans fats in restaurants and school cafeterias have now been introduced in 20 states. As a result, food manufacturers and restaurants that have used unhealthy fats previously now are scrambling to find alternative fats to use in foods such as cookies and crackers, popcorn and pizza. They hope that by doing so, they can remove or decrease the trans fats in their products so they can be called trans fat-free or zero trans fat. But the truth is that just because something is labeled trans fat-free, it does not necessarily mean its healthy and completely free of trans fat. By law, such foods can still contain a small amount of trans fat per serving. The FDA still allows products with less than 0. 5 grams of trans fat per serving to boast zero grams or

You can eat the cookies warm, which I love doing, but they will be soft and a bit messy. Let the cookies sit for about five or 10 minutes, which is enough time for them to harden a little and you can lay them out on a tray or platter. If you want to be fancy, you can lightly sprinkle Confectioners Sugar over the cookies or cut fresh strawberries into fours and place them around the cookies on the edges of the platter; the strawberries will add color to the dish and give a tart complement to the sweet and peanut buttery cookies. I guarantee you are going to think it looks like someone went to town on a bowl of oatmeal and crapped on your platter, but they taste so good.

2008-04-20 The best club not on a street - The Daily Princetonian

If anything, its this love and attention that makes the Co-Op so special. As an underclassman I often missed the home-cooked meals of my youth. I yearned for breaks so I could beg my mom to cook me something - anything - just to taste something real with an individual presence that didnt feel technologically reproducible. Thats what the Co-Op delivers every night: food with an aura. Even when someone slips coconut cream into a curry, makes a bright-pink vegetable smoothie or cant figure out how to make cookies that dont all morph into one super-cookie when baked, you can always put a face with the food you eat.

Citing their support of family businesses, the concept of the company, a commitment to healthy eating and the taste of their cookies, the show found the ideal snack provider in Bellas Cookies, and is the first company from Delaware to be featured on the show. Snack of the day is a daily segment where host Rachael Ray (Food Networks 30-Minutes or Less and usd. 40 Dollars a Day) highlights and discusses a certain snack distributed to her audience members and show guests. Bellas Cookies shipped 200 bags of its Baby Bellas Champion Chunk (mini Chocolate Chunk) cookies. Show producers narrowed their choice between Bellas Champion Chunk and its Rumazin cookie (a rum raisin cookie made in partnership with Dogfish Head Craft Brewerys Brown Honey Rum), eventually choosing chocolate for its broad appeal.

Then the lumps and rocks are sifted out of it and the other ingredients added. The mixture is patted into cookies and spread out on a roof to bake in the sun. The cookies sell for about five cents each, which is a bargain compared to the food staples in the country. But even the price of the edible clay has risen over the past year by almost usd. 1. 50. When I consider that the majority of the Haitian people live on less than usd. 2 a day, that is quite a price hike.

We suggest an experiment: Scrap the subsidies, tariffs and mandates. Let the market decide if ethanol, or any other biofuel, makes economic sense. Wed guess that ethanol will still be around as long as oil prices stay high. But the industry might be quite a bit smaller, and the worlds food supplies might be such that people in Haiti wont have to eat dirt cookies to survive.

News reports say the poorest Haitians are trying to get by on cookies made with dirt, vegetable oil and salt. Food riots also have roiled Egypt and led to a general strike in Burkina Faso in West Africa. The high cost of corn, wheat, soybeans and other basics of the worlds diet could soon start bringing down governments.

2008-04-20 Eating right despite an increasing grocery bill: Local news for Duluth, Suwanee and Gwinnett County, Georgia

When I think about how much easier it is for me to buy convenience foods for my kids to snack on after school, I prefer for them to eat fresh fruit and healthy options instead. Cookies and crackers are easier for them to manage on their own but Id rather they peel and eat fresh fruit and so I sacrifice at the checkout line to make that happen.

What if there were nutritional content laws for the food we buy What if manufacturers had to come up with solutions to provide more affordable, nutrient-rich foods Australia protects its labor force and industry with Australian Content Laws which require imported goods to have a percentage of the process take place in Australia so that their workforce and local suppliers benefit. What if we had Nutritional Content Laws so our kids wouldnt be eating "fruit-flavored" chewy junk instead of real fruit

2008-04-04 Nonna Santopietros cookies - The Boston Globe

Photographs can trigger nostalgia, but nothing like certain foods can. Perhaps its because food sparks the sense memories (sight, smell, taste, even touch). My Nonnas lemon cookies take me back to my childhood up until my early 20s - when I stood beside her as she demonstrated how to make them. Teresa Marzilli Santopietro made these sweet rounds weekly, and had them ready for unexpected visitors; she even offered them to the postman. She mixed vegetable oil, milk, egg, and both vanilla and lemon extracts into a mixture of flour, baking powder, and salt. To form the dough, put the dry ingredients into a bowl, make a well in the center, and add sugar and the liquids - something like making pasta. Roll the dough into small balls, then bake them until the bottoms brown. When they cool, turn each cookie upside down and coat them in a
