What Consumers Want From Food Labeling PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 13 November 2008
As reports are becoming seemingly more and more frequent concerning the safety of the food we eat, a new US food and safety labeling poll conducted by Consumer Reports National Research Center will hopefully change the governments stance of the safety of our foods.
The poll reveals that American citizens are greatly concerned with food safety and want their food supply more frequently and more publicity around tainted foods and other food safety issues. The poll found that consumers feel that the food that they buy don't meet their standards. Americans are finally desiring in greater numbers to know more about their food and where it comes from and are learning that their dollar can be a vote for more public information on the food supply.

Yay America! Make those dollars count! Organic and local may be more expensive but it's voting dollars, people!

Eat Local Los Angeles Bagel Wars PDF Print E-mail

BAGELS

I haven’t confirmed this, but I would say that the vast majority of Americans eats a bagel for breakfast every day.  Or, that at least half of this country’s population has one every day, perhaps at a different mealtime.  For Los Angelenos, bagels are definitely a part of a culture that they were brought up with and that stays with them still today.   In fact, the residents of this area are so partial—or maybe, so conditioned—to eating a certain type of bagel that the Los Angeles practically has two bakeries fighting for the monopoly of bagel-dom across the whole county

Don't Look Down on the Cranberry - It's More Diverse Than You Think PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 12 November 2008

Cranberries. Some people might groan over the mention of this fruit, that really only makes an appearance around Thanksgiving, but a New York Times article from today briefly covers the cranberry's history, its harvesting, and other uses for it besides canned cranberry sauce. It's a great, quick read and will inspire you to give cranberries another look.

Check out Locallectual producers Cranberry Hill Farm and Willow Cranberries for a dose of these bright, yummy berries.
