Five years ago, most of us had probably never heard of quinoa. The first time I read (and mispronounced) the word was a couple years ago, as I scrolled through Pinterest looking for healthy recipes that I had never tried before. Back then, [kee-nwa] was just an unknown grain found only in some whole-food specialty stores, but it has now risen to stardom as one of those superfoods that anyone who says they know anything about health puts into their regular rotation of meals. Today, quinoa is…

Almost all recipes can be adapted to become gluten-free. Following are some guidelines to adapting recipes to gluten-free: 1. Focus on the wheat-containing ingredients and their functions, as these will need to be adapted with a substitution. Try to choose “main meal” recipes with very little flour or gluten-containing ingredients for the bulk of a meal. An example would be breading or flouring of meats, which can, in most cases, be omitted. Simple fruits and vegetables as accompanying sides…

It is terribly frightening to me that I am a corn person, not by choice but chance. Genetically, I wasn’t supposed to eat corn as a fundamental part of my everyday diet. Yet, I have been born in an era where every item I have eaten or intend to eat is pretty much derived from corn. Unless I choose to eat free-range chickens, grass fed beef, pretty much grow my own vegetables and bake my own goods, I am a corn person (we are “corn chips walking” as Pollen puts it) comprised of processed corn…

Corn is the natural product that starts the base of nearly 80% of the food products that we consume on a regular basis. Farmers must overproduce in order to make up the financial losses that occur in the process of selling the corn to the distributors. Farmers get caught in this continuous cycle referred to as the Naylor Curve. The Naylor Curve described by Michael Pollan provides explanation behind why processed sweetener has overtaken the food industry. High fructose corn syrup is the…

Genetically modified food has been a very controversial topic in the United States for many years. The sale of genetically modified foods began in 1996 (Walia), and since then the use of GMOs has skyrocketed. The use of GMOs should be prohibited in the United States because GMOs are harmful to human health, they are bad for the environment, and there is not enough research to know if they are safe. One reason why the use of genetically modified food should be prohibited in the United States is…

The CRS believes that the foods individuals consume on a daily basis are the cause behind cancer. Foods, such as Genetically Modified Organisms – defined as “organisms in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination,” are beginning to be found everywhere in our food supply. Disturbingly, food packaging companies fail to make the public aware about Genetically Modified Organisms as they do not make it evident in the…
