I Ate Expired Food For A Week And Didn't Die
I wasn’t sure about the peach. Purplish, squishy and days past its prime, the peach, I have to say, did not taste good.
But it also didn’t make me sick. Nor did anything else I ate during my weeklong attempt to consume only foods that had “expired” or were destined for the trash ― not the past-date chicken, not the wilted collard greens, not the aging bacon.
Most of what I ate that week was not terrible, with the exception of the peach, but the bulk of it was old or had passed the “sell by,” “use by” or “best before” date on the label. Sure, I tasted some u...

The Psychological Reason Why We Hate Ugly Fruits
We look for attractive people to mate with, cute animals to bring home and nice clothes to wear. So is it any wonder we judge good-looking food to be tastier? This behavior may seem harmless, but it often means that cosmetically challenged fruits and vegetables end up rotting on the ground -- even though they're perfectly edible.
Each year we waste 1.3 billion tonnes of food produced for human consumption worldwide. In the fruits and vegetables category, almost half of what’s produced is wasted. That’s a billion bags of potatoes, 3.7 trillion apples -- the list goes on. In industrialized countries alone, the co...

Food allergies: Avoiding allergens is best protection
Many people are allergic to birch pollen and have associated food allergies, particularly to apples, peaches, hazelnuts, carrots and celery, and many have a primary food allergy that starts in childhood. As yet there are still no approved immunotherapy treatments for food allergies and so the best approach is still to avoid the allergen responsible, say experts. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

[In Depth] Near miss at Fukushima is a warning for U.S
Japan's chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil's scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and might send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo. Thanks to a lucky break detailed in a report released last week by the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, Japan dodged that bullet...

The Correct Way to Eat Chocolate
It has come to my attention that most people do not understand how to properly eat chocolate.
This is a grave issue, and one that I feel compelled to address immediately.
Do you find yourself eating chocolate (or any delicious, indulgent treat) in any of the following ways?
Scenario #1: Standing up, next to the cabinet or counter, quickly grabbing a bite-sized bar of Hershey's that you know will be not-that-great, but eating it before you can give it a second thought. And then you walk away, almost as if it never happened.
Scenario #2: Eating at a restaurant, chatting with friends, saying or thinking, "Oh, I'm so bad...

The Upside of Aging
Aging is something I sometimes recognize in myself. When it does happen, I'm always astonished. It takes a literal upset to awaken me. Like this week when I fell. I had kicked an Amazon package inside my front door in the late sunny morning and went out to cut three peach-pink roses. With my face still in the petals, I forgot about the package when I walked in over the transom to my darkened living room. I tripped. I spun backwards, pirouetting up into the air. I watched myself from outside my body, in eerie slow motion almost as if I were able to change my trajectory; instead, I crashed down hard on my wood floor. I lande...

Why Your Smoothie Might Be Making You Fat
Love smoothies? Do you have them on a regular basis? Smoothies certainly pack in a punch. Depending on their ingredients they can give you protein, fiber, nutrients, vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Many smoothies are loaded with fruit, sometimes with some vegetables and even at times with dairy like milk or yoghurt, sweeteners etc. There are so many variations of smoothie recipes that they seem to outnumber the different flavors of ice cream out there. But how good and healthy is your smoothie? Many recipes are based on fruit. There are smoothies made out of banana, pineapple, mango, melon, peach, apple and alm...
