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.

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.
