#Improve the Food, Not Just the Food Label (Op-Ed) The nutrition labels on food may soon get a makeover as the Food
and Drug Administration announced plans in February to revise what information appears on the labels.
Yet lost in all this discussion about how to improve labels is the fact that food sold today is so unhealthy that it requires a label.
Therefore what's really needed is an improvement to the quality of the food not just the food labels.
(or shop at a farmers'market) you will see the foods that don't have labels or don't need really them.
We call these whole foods. For example with fruits and vegetables what you see is what you get. 9 Snack foods:

But if you look at the foods that got the check mark you might find chocolate ice pops which earned a check by virtue of being low fat and sugary breakfast cereals

Another story about how some food holds the cure for cancer is making headlines in the Daily Express.
Mice fed a diet where a fifth of the food was powdered carrot had fewer and smaller tumours than mice who were fed a normal diet.

Americans consume more processed and packaged food than just about anyone else in the world. Processed foods many of which contain added sugar preservatives
and chemical additives are hardwired into our food system and make up the majority of the American diet.
In her upcoming documentary Fed up headed to theatrical release on May 9 co-producer Laurie David explores the roots
and consequences of this diet and how the U s. industrialized food system could be a major contributor to the national obesity epidemic.
Our food system is dysfunctional all along the chain from farm to fork. The way we eat now is not good for our bodies
Eating processed and packaged food might be even more risky than most of us realize. In a recent report NRDC focused on a single legal loophole that allows hundreds if not more than a thousand chemical additives into the U s. food supply those unpronounceable ingredients on the back of the box bypassing safety review by the U s. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA. When we pick up a package of food at the store cereal frozen pizza chips an energy drink a nutrition bar cake we assume that everything in it is OK to eat.
Companies wouldn't be allowed sell those foods otherwise right? But because of a giant loophole in food safety law the generally recognized as safe or GRAS loophole chemical manufacturers can decide for themselves
if the product they've created is safe to consume. Their safety assessments don't have to be reviewed
when chemical additives enter our food supply. All this adds up to a serious lack of oversight intowhat goes into Americans'food.
And that oversight is needed sorely to protect our health. Some additives which manufacturers claim to be recognized generally as safe have been linkedto fetal leukemia in human cell tests
Despite these potential risks these additives are already in our food supply. NRDC found these additives listed as ingredients in at least 20 food products.
The FDA can't do its job and protect public health if it doesn't know the identity of these chemicals in the first place
or if it can't review the evidence demonstrating that their use in food is safe.
Ultimately the U s. Congress needs to close the GRAS loophole that allows manufacturers to leave the FDA and the public in the dark about the safety of chemical additives in food.
and should move now to end the inherent conflict of interest in the current system for reviewing the safety of chemical additives in food
The widespread use of chemical additives is just one of several deep-rooted problems in our industrialized food system.
Our food system encourages the consumption of processed and packaged foods over fresh healthier locally grown foods.
We end up craving the sugar that sneaks into processed foods and so we keep buying more of it
The impacts of our food system are chronic not just in our bodies but throughout the natural systems that sustain our health and the planet.
Our food system encourages food waste on a massive scale about 40 percent of the food in this country never gets eaten.
It gets thrown away wasting not only the food itself but all the resources that went into producing it including 25 percent of our fresh water and 4 percent of our oil.
Sell-By Labels Send Edible U s. Food to the Dump (Op-Ed) The industrial livestock operations that produce the vast quantities of meat consumed in this country pollute the air the water and atmosphere.
But while our food system may be unsustainable it's not unfixable. By raising awareness of these issues ensuring that strong health-protective standards are being enforced by the agencies responsible for protecting the public not profits
and encouraging business and industry to shift toward more sustainable practices our nation can begin to create a healthier more sustainable food system for all.

#What Is Kosher Food? Kosher food is not a style of cooking or a cultural menu (like Chinese or Italian food).
Instead kosher refers to foods that adhere to the dietary laws of Judaism also called kashrut as described in the Torah.
While some of these guidelines infer health benefits others seem to have no connection to health
and are followed simply because they are mandated in the Torah. Many of the rules relate to animal products which are called out in the Torah based on where the animal dwells.
Even foods that are allowed must be prepared in a particular way to be considered kosher. This preparation has nothing to do with cooking style
if they have interacted with dairy eggs or nonkosher food. In fact Jewish people who follow kashrut avoid eating meats and dairy products together and some even wait a certain amount of time before consuming one after the other according to the Biblical Archaeological Society.

Most foods contain several different types of fat: Saturated fat Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals and some plants.
Foods from animals include meats and dairy products. Plant foods that contain saturated fat include coconut oil palm oil and cocoa butter.
Saturated fat raises both the bad cholesterol and the goodcholesterol. Unsaturated fat Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are unsaturated the two fats.
They're found mainly in many fish nuts seeds and oils from plants. Some examples of foods that contain these fats are salmon trout herring avocados olives walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean corn safflower canola olive and sunflower.
Studies show that eating foods rich in unsaturated fats lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and raises HDL (good) cholesterol.
