The rise of ultra-processed foods and why they’re really bad for our health

Unlike traditionally produced foods humans have been making for many millennia, ultra-processed foods contain ingredients to prolong their shelf-life and artificially augment the food’s taste…

Tuna Sold at Trader Joe’s, Costco, Walmart, and More Recalled Over Botulism Risk

Tri-Union Seafoods is recalling canned tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B, and Trader Joe’s brand labels. The recall was initiated after Tri-Union Seafoods was notified by its supplier that the cans’ “easy open” pull tab lids have a manufacturing defect that may affect the products’ seal and possibly contaminate the tuna with clostridium botulinum (commonly referred to as botulism), a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.

Did you know red meat contributes up to 30% of agricultural emissions? It's one reason the ag sector is the 2nd-largest greenhouse gas emitter after energy. But not all meats have the same impact - on the planet or our personal health.

This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in #food security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).

But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️

It’s #EarthDay & I’m giving a talk all about the global food system & its impact on the environment.

The agricultural sector is one of the most significant + immediately scalable places to have impact.

Since my talk isn’t public, here’s a great piece from @globalecoguy & the good folks at Project Drawdown. drawdown.org/news/insights/how…

How food and farming will determine the fate of planet Earth

Agriculture has disrupted the planet more than anything we have ever done, including burning fossil fuels. A sustainable future depends on recognizing this fact – and radically changing how we farm and eat.

Ever wonder how pickling works? youtu.be/gw6YpN2oRog?si=Bv8DW9…

Four years ago our PBS team created this fun explainer on all different types of pickles! And it's still one of my favorite episodes. #food #science

How Does Pickling Work? | Serving Up Science

Pickling! It's that salty, briny process that makes foods taste so strangely good. The pickle garnishes our favorite foods, from burgers & hotdogs to turkey ...

lol, guess the weird #recipe... 1/2

I started a mug of hibiscus tea steeping.
Rinsed a tin of butter beans under water in a sieve.

Put 2 heaped teaspoons of cacao powder, some vanilla stick, a generous shake of cinnamon (& also below real flavour impact, a quarter teaspoon tumeric, 6 grams fenugreek seeds & maybe 1/8th teaspoon pepper) in to a grinding pot.

@nealcurtis@mas.to
Sure, here's a closer look. Hibiscus tea is literally dried hibiscus flowers. It's actually a very common ingredient in almost every fruit tea you might buy. Partly because of the tart cherry berry taste, partly of the deep red colour.

It's an incredibly antioxidant rich tea, probably the highest. But variety in everything is best. Drink lots of different teas & mix them up. We haven't researched a fraction of what every different tea does.

#Tea as medicine in nearly every culture, that's probably for a reason.

My restock shopping and fridge should look more like this when I want to feel really fit & healthy and have good weight goals.

Marinating some tofu, probably for a stir-fry later. I often don't bother marinating and just spice during cooking, but this tofu hit date & needs using up, and I had the rest on some wraps.

Tamari, chilli spices. Bosh in the fridge for later.

Obviously I need quick solution meals sometimes.

I find wraps can be a way of getting leaves out of the fridge and eaten, getting some greens / veg in along with some saucy stuff like hummus / salsa + then some falafel or beans or tofu etc.

Everything is a balance of time and effort.
#cooking#cook#food#vegan#plantBased

Leftover baked sweet potatoes. Sliced them up. Made dough bases. Blended chickpeas with spices & nutritional yeast in to a hummus (no need for oil), which I spread thickly across. Toppings were sweet potato cherry tomato red onion and peppers, grilled / baked. The result roasted veg hummus pizzas.

The nutriY hummus baked has a really quite cheesy spicy tasty effect, the veg caramelised for sticky yum and it's massively healthier than pizza while tasting superb as it's own thing.

One of the really nice things that makes #plantBased home cooking so easy you get so much more volume for the calories. You're really full, and that's great for weight & against hunger.

I should remember to make these again. The home baked bases are these sorta sourdough wholemeal flatbreads / pizza base hyrbid thingies and then lots of different toppings from spicy beans, marinara or salsa, salad stuff pepper onion bean sweetcorn etc.

Leftover potatoes and mixed bean & veg red curry (made with a little tahini rather than coconut milk).

I was hungry after workout and not wanting to do anything time consuming so I quickly bulked it up with a can of neutral 100% just pumpkin pie filling (i.e. pumpkin mash) that I stirred some apple cider vinegar, tamari and Togarishi spices through. I also added some of the beetroot sauerkraut I have open & then microwaved everything.

Burger craving yum.

Homemade Hummus, garden chives spicy (fries digging goodness)
Quartered a Kalamata olive loaf for the bun (toasted lightly)
tomato red onion ketchup mustard lettuce
a Gro burger (UK co-op plantbased brand) done in the air fryer resting on top of a portion of thick cut potato fries (chips UK) - the plantburger releases some juices, that go sticky on the fries.... heaven

Not rocket science, but very tasty!

Then to finish this lentil base from post above to meal.
(This time it had tempeh in as well from the beginning).
I added more veg and herbs.
Courgettes
Aubergine/Eggplant which cooks down and makes the sauce thick
Broccoli
Another onion roughly cut
3 tins of chopped tomato in this case which will get partially absorbed by the lentils too.

I made wholemeal fusilli, as well, which is quite nice as the lentils will catch in the spirals.
