In varying degrees, they all involve a bit of child abuse. Bear with us: We’re not living out childhood antagonism against the mean lunch lady here. We’re talking about food that kids eat when they’re at school, and that’s everyone’s responsibility. The story goes like this: School budget cuts lead to lunch budget cuts lead to unhealthy fast food in cafeterias. Right now, the U.S. Department of Agriculture gives an average of $2.68 per day for each student’s school lunch. When was the last time you made a nutritious, filling meal for less than three bucks?  Well, schools can’t do it either. The french fries, sloppy joes, nachos, and sugary drinks served in sch...

Would you buy the stuff? How expensive would it be? Wouldn’t it be easier just to not eat it in the first place or would more people start eating junk food or increase their consumption because of the anti-cancer properties? All these questions – but with good reason. Because according to news reports, Health Canada is thinking about doing just that. If this was April 1, I’d be checking for an April Fool’s joke, for sure. This was first reported on December 15th, when news came out that Health Canada wanted to add nutrients to a wide variety of food, including junk food, such as chips and cookies (Health Canada weighs fortifying junk foods). Yesterday, a published news story elaborated on this a bit (Health C...

But, it is newsworthy. According to a quote through the Examiner, Russian scientists secretly warned Prime Minister Putin about a “critical link” between the H1N1 Influenza virus and genetically modified amylopectin potatoes which are sold in Western countries as french fries. The report goes on to say that the genetically changed protease enzyme in the potatoes is so stored in the host cells (that’s us, humans who eat the fries) that our cells’ contact with an H1N1 virus creates an explosion in the viral envelope. The protein causes an acidic environment for the virus that explodes its envelope and releases the H1N1 RNA and core proteins into the host cell. Majority of cases of H1N1 infections hav...

They’re green. You can’t eat green potatoes, that’s bad!”“They’re green because of the parsley and Rosemary. Parsley potatoes.”“Ghastly potatoes? Dey are for Halloween?”“Not ‘ghastly,’ PARSLEY!”“Sounds like ‘ghostly!” she sniggers, the kind of snigger that is infectious amongst certain juvenile people.“They’re highly nutritious, very good for you.”“I am be eat dah nutritious foods too.” I glare at my youngest child, he who eats only 17 foods. “Really! Well you do eat fries I suppose. Maybe you could eat a green fry? It could be your new food for the week.”“No.”“See, I knew you were just teasing me.”“It don’t ...

A big drugmaker scrambles to develop and promote a blockbuster painkiller that is, ultimately, withdrawn over heart attacks and strokes. Lawsuits, recriminations and scandal ensue. Lives are damaged. Careers are threatened. Money continues to change hands. Now, though, a book has arrived that tells the tale, although ‘Poison Pills’ is written by a public relations consultant - Tom Nesi, a former exec at Bristol-Myers Squibb - not a journalist. Nesi, who relied on court documents and, for awhile, was an expert witness for plaintiffs’ lawyers, expresses outrage at Merck’s behavior.

I’m talking about the ubiquity of those artery-clogging strips in many a restaurant (especially if it’s a “family” restaurant), packaged in huge bags filling a goodly portion of the freezer case and, of course, signaled by those golden arches. After putting Charlie on the gluten-free casein-free diet 9 years ago in June of 1999, French fries have been the one readily available kid-friendly treat. With bread, pizza, most sweets, and much more “forbidden,” fries became a steady part of our lives, as did visits to McDonald’s. Sure, it’s not healthy; but what parent doesn’...

We have just had our usual Friday night dinner at Charlie’s favorite hamburger stand. Charlie: Red slide! Me: Where’s that? Charlie: Red slide. Me: Inside or outside? Charlie: Inside. Me (getting an inkling of where this might be going): Is that in a restaurant? Charlie: Burger place. Me: I think you just had a burger for dinner. Charlie: Burger and fries, burger slide. Jim came back and as we drove past Burger King on the right, McDonald’s on the left, Charlie pointed and said “this way” and laughed. His teacher and speech therapist have been telling me that he’s been speaking a lot at school, and slow, and clear—yes, indeed. Tags: 7-11, asd, asper...

Push a button, and a hoagie is on the way. [my emphasis] I’m not sure if the NY Times realizes the full meaning of that statement, of customers being able to “order without speaking.” My son Charlie has gone on many a field trip with his class to a restaurant (of the fast food sort) and, try as we practice, the response after he gives his “hamburger and French fries” order is most o...

The burger chain is famous for its charbroiled burgers but uses oils to fry their fries and most of their chicken items. The new trans-fat-free oils have been tested on sample populations and the responses have been positive. Most eaters agree that the healthier oils result in either the same taste or a better taste for the fried foods.This is a positive trend that will hopefully grip more Americans by their guts and motivate them to eat healthier one small step at a time.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs |&nb...

Charlie has never shown much of an interest in that fast food, while having the usual kid-liking for other fried items. Nonetheless, I am not quite sure what he might think about deep-fried sushi: I suppose it could be said that French fries (crispy, hot, oily) are at one end of a spectrum of food tastes and textures, and sushi (slimey, cold, gelatinous) at the other. Would putting them together jar Charlie’s usual sushi-sensory... Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=645210 Wed, 30 May 2007 12:36:43 +0100 645210
