A New Study Found Weedkiller in 28 Cereals and Other Kids' Foods

Here's why parents shouldn't freak out just yet DAVID MEYER   October 25, 2018 Remember a couple months back when an advocacy group  found  what it called  “a hefty dose”  of glyphosate, the active ingredient in weedkillers such as Roundup, in a wide range of oat-based products such as Cheerios and Quaker Oats? Quaker and  General Mills   gis  weren’t happy, arguing that any traces of glyphosate in their products were well below the regulatory limits. Well, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has come back with another non-peer-reviewed study, this time covering oat-based cereals and other food that’s marketed to children. And the lobbying group—which is partly  funded  by organic foods companies such as Organic Valley and Stonyfield—says its latest test results “fly in the face of claims by two companies, Quaker and General Mills, which have said there is no reason for concern.” “Almost all of the samples tested by EWG had residues of glyphosat

Where Does Airline Food Come From? Some Grow Their Own.

JEJU ISLAND, South Korea -- Plenty of airlines tout their partnerships with top chefs and the farm-fresh ingredients that go into gourmet meals served to passengers in the first- and business-class cabins. But, for now, only Korean Air can boast that food served on board is grown on a company farm. Jedong Ranch sits on 3,700 acres of South Korea’s lush Jeju Island and has been operating since 1972, when it was purchased by the former chairman of the airline’s parent company, the Hanjin Group. Back then, South Korea had a beef shortage, so breeding livestock was the first order of business. Early on, the herd was made up exclusively of imported Angus cattle. Today the ranch is home to more than 2,200 head of prized, grass-fed Korean native cattle known as Hanwoo.

Grilled Piri Piri Sardines on Crusty Bread Recipe

When we fire up our barbecues seeking that aromatic smoky and charred flavor, most people don’t consider one of the most sustainable and healthy fish for a grilling candidate; the sardine! A summer favorite, sardines are found all over Europe but have been expanding their delicious reach around the US in recent years. One of the most loved ways to consume these little fish is to serve them hot off the grill with rustic bread. The thick slices of crusty bread are used not only as a utensil to transfer those little fish into hungry mouths, but also acts as vessels to capture all the rich juices as they seep into it. Traditionally grilled sardines are made simple with only a sprinkle of salt and a hot flame for seasoning, but this recipe is made even more enjoyable with garlic, cilantro, a squeeze or two of lemon juice, and a bite of spicy red piri piri peppers!
