Arsenic Treated Wood, how bad is it? I think Arsenic Treated Wood should be removed. Chromated arsenical, which includes chromated copper arsenate (CCA) is a group of pesticides containing chromium, copper, and arsenic that protects wood from termites, fungi, and other pests that degrade wood and make a building less safe, but is it really helping or would it be better if your deck collapses from being chewed and degraded by termites than using arsenic on the wood and…

two stainless steel belts that carried packaged fish. This invention marked the commencement of the frozen food industry. Due to his success with the double belt freezer, Clarence continued his work and invented even more ways to speed up the freezing process so that not only the small ice crystals would form, but also the cell membranes would not be incinerated in the process and the foods maximum flavor, texture, and color would be preserved.

was a devil on my left shoulder telling me to speed, and an angel on my right shoulder telling me to drive safe. I started to speed. To spark things even more, I even swerved into the oncoming traffic lane. Sadly, no one packed any food so we had to find a local food market. The rays of sunlight were fading. Looking left and right out the tinted windows of the car, all we could see was the never-ending woods, as the dead lifeless brown leaves covered the grounds. Moments later, out of the blue,…

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a nonthermal technology that has been recently adopted by the food industry with the perspective of expansion into new markets and products. The potential of maintaining the nutritional, sensory, and functional quality while inactivating deteriorative microorganisms and enzymes turns this technology very appropriate for matching the increasing consumer demand for healthier and safer products. High pressure in many applications has little or no effect on…

The processed food we eat contains harmful additives that are considered poisonous, and the government is not properly informing people of what they are consuming. Fast and convenient is the first thing we reach for on the shelf, but these quick meals could cause long term health problems. Pathogens are not killing us, but processed foods are.

It wasn’t until after the civil war that the majority of people started working in factories and needed food grown and…

There are many methods, but these are five of some of the most common and known methods. Canning is a simple process where you preserve food by heating or cooking foods at a high temperature in a sealed and/or can or jar destroying any organisms that would cause them to spoil. Canning can also reduce the…
