2010-03-12 Cheese of the Month Philadelphia Inquirer

American cheddar has never been the same since the Kehler brothers finished the state-of-the-art aging cave in the rolling hillside of their Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, Vt. Just witness their unique collaboration with cheddar juggernaut Cabot, which ages 35-pound wheels there wrapped English-style in breathable cloth bandages rubbed in lard, not the typical wax. The result, after 10 to 12 months, is a far more artisanal creation than the typical Cabot supermarket brick. More akin to a British farmhouse style, this stunningly complex cheese is more earthy than "sharp," with flavors of mushroom, nuts and toffee, with an occasional blue veining near the rind and tiny protein crystals in the center that add extra sparks to the densely creamy paste.

2010-03-09 Poll question: How much does your household spend eating out Atlanta Bargain Hunter

The problem with obesity in America is that it has become cheaper (and more convienently obviously) to eat out than to eat at home. Not to mention that there, more often than not, is not someone who stays home to raise the family and cook. Single-parent and dual-working families often struggle with finding the time to grocery shop and cook during the week. The healthy options at fast-food places tend to be more expensive so people end up eating burgers and fries 4 days a week. So sure eating at home in the long run is cheaper and healthier if you have a family of 4 and will eat leftovers. My husband works out of town Mon-Fri so 4 nights a week, its just our son and me most evenings. Hard to get motivated to cook a meal that I know Im going to have to eat for the next 3 days since Im the only one who will eat

2010-03-05 Who needs a chef when youve got a low-end cook Life and style The Guardian

In the years I spent on the low end of the trade, I knew chefs whod scream and swear and throw pans and torture cooks for any little slight. I stood beside guys who went to jail for stealing food stamps from old ladies, for sticking up convenience stores. But Ive also seen these same people quit good jobs rather than do wrong by the food. Ive known cooks in greasy spoons who loved their knives so much they named them. Tex-Mex grillmen who worked whole shifts with searing pan burns or broken fingers rather than let their friends down by leaving the line a person short in the rush. And young sous chefs from street corner bistros that no one has ever heard of who got butchers diagrams of pigs tattooed on to their bodies. Ive watched them take beaming pride in a simple pan of mussels, in cutting a microscopic brunoise, in the

However, we buy what we want when we want, sometimes we pay for ourselves but most times the boat pays," this chef continued. "We are paid a very good salary and so have no qualms when we buy provisions for ourselves out of our own pockets. We know that when the owner trades up to a bigger boat (2011) and has more crew, a more formal procedure will be put in place regarding crew food provision. We know we are not typical of most crewed yachts, but enjoy this relaxed approach and it suits all parties involved. "

While he allows that "were not going to put California out of business," Fireman is clear that the regional food system has to change. Will rooftop gardens and farms solve all our food production challenges No more than wind power will replace our near-term dependence on oil. But there has never been a better time to make an investment in our future.

In the process, Sky Vegetables creates jobs and reduces the distance food has to travel -- from a thousand miles to as little as five hundred feet, if you pick up your produce in the parking lot of one of his sky top farms. "Our goal," said Fireman, "is for food to be harvested and consumed within forty-eight hours. "

Researcher Finds Taxing Unhealthy Food Works Better To Encourage Healthy Eating

Epstein wrote, "taxes were more effective in reducing calories purchased over subsides. Specifically, taxing unhealthy foods reduced overall calories purchased, while cutting the proportion of fat and carbohydrates and upping the proportion of protein in a typical weeks groceries. By contrast, subsidizing the prices of healthy food actually increased overall calories purchased without changing the nutritional value at all. It appears that mothers took the money they saved on subsidized fruits and vegetables and treated the family to less healthy alternatives, such as chips and soda pop. Taxes had basically the opposite effect, shifting spending from less healthy to healthier choices. "

2010-02-24 The Daily Cardinal - National Eating Disorder Awareness Month highlights need for sensitivity

Anorexia nervosa is a condition wherein the afflicted limit food intake to an extreme degree. People with anorexia often avoid meals with others, spouting a variety of excuses to explain their behavior while striving to avoid situations that could draw attention to their condition. Anorexics may also seem consistently and unusually cold. People suffering from anorexia often lack the body fat reserves and extra energy necessary to maintain a high body temperature.
