  1. You Don’t Want Fries With That
    Written: November 29, 2018

    America is "obsessed" with french fries. The mentality that french fries stem from a vegetable, making them healthy, is not all true. Yes, they do come from a potato which is a vegetable, but think about all of the other ingredients put into a french fry. Oil, cheese, and salt are the main contributing factors making them more unhealthy. Cutting back on fry intake is heavily suggested from doctors due to the negative health affects associated with them. The portion size, toppings put on the fries, and the way one feels after eating french fries are all to be considered when thinking about eating them consistently.

  2. The Real Winner from the Romaine E.Coli Outbreak: Iceberg Lettuce
    November 30, 2018
    Just days before Thanksgiving, romaine lettuce made national news because of an E.Coli outbreak. Instead of buying romaine lettuce for their thanksgiving meals, many people started to look at iceberg lettuce. Many sellers took advantage of people wanting lettuce, by raising the prices. Normally iceberg lettuce sold anywhere from $11-$22, those prices doubled. It wasn't just iceberg lettuce that become popular as well. Many other lettuces got their big break! Many sellers took romaine of their shelves and quickly packed them with romaine that was grown anywhere except California. Since California was most likely the point of the outbreak based on growing patterns and harvesting patterns that were found by Scott Gottleib.

  3. Food Companies Need To Change Before Doomsday Package Labels Kill Them

    Nov 30 2018

    With a large amount of people becoming overweight along with concerns about health and eating, food companies in Latin America are reportedly being required to place labels on their food products. According to the article, Chile seems to be taking much of a stand for this change, with the government reportedly disallowing the sales of sweets in schools, and has put regulations on "junk food advertising".

    From the picture of the article, the signs on the food appear to be labels warning the customers whether or not a food has high amounts of sodium, sugar, calories, and saturated fats.

    According to the article, there has also been 18% soda tax, as well.

  8. "Why is the world becoming more allergic to food"
    December 3rd, 2018
    An allergy is caused by someone's body reacting against something that shouldn't be harmful to the body. There are a lot more people that have food allergies. It is believed that environmental changes are causing people to be more sensitive to foods such as milk and peanuts. Pollution has been proven to increase asthma and other allergies. It is also thought that because we have much better hygiene children are not exposed to as many bacteria so they are not as immune. Scientists are not sure how to fix this problem, but with it continuing to effect many they are searching for ways to stop it.

  20. Central Michigan University swaps parking tickets for food donations
    Any student who has received a ticket since November 19, at Central Michigan University's campus can turn in non-perishable food to help pay for their ticket. The food will only work for parking tickets, and can only knock off up to $35. This concept is called "Food for Fines." Being that it's so close to the holiday season, the police would much rather have students smiling that they are decreasing their fine and helping others, then angry students in an uproar. If all goes well, the police are hoping to "host" this event multiple times a year.

  32. For Starving Children, a Bite of Hope

    Aside from the 50 million children suffering from malnutrition, it is one of the largest contributors to almost one million deaths of children aged five or less. There's now a potential solution to this problem. A group of organizations focused on feeding the hungry have evolved a new system that, so far, works well. Any social worker, illiterate included, has the ability to diagnose and treat children successfully. Each child's condition is determined by severity. Those with more severe needs are treated and sent home with a Plumpy'Nut package. Each week they return for a checkup and receive another packet. Those with less severity go to a World Food Program feeding center and take home what they need. Although many flaws can be found within these systems, some good is coming from it.
