Veggie Links for 14-Jan-2007
- Like food with a little kick? A recent study has found that spicy food can help fight cancer. The article also contains a handy list of other disease-fighting super foods.
- Good news for veg*ns in the UK – the supermarket chain Sainsbury’s has confirmed its commitment to labeling products that are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
- Have trouble with producing spoiling before you can use it? Next time, seek out the dirty ones: they have a longer shelf life.
It strikes me that it many ways “modern (American)” food production seeks to make food cheaper and prettier; even when that means sacrificing health and taste.
I have to admit I fall victim to pretty vegetables all the time – I really should try to buy more dirty, ugly ones, and see if they taste better.
