============================================
Food related stuff that may be of interest:
[ADDED SOME NEW ARTICLES 11/14]
Dangerous Chemicals in Food Wrappers Likely Migrating to Humans - "University of Toronto scientists have found that chemicals used to line junk food wrappers and microwave popcorn bags are migrating into food and being ingested by people where they are contributing to chemical contamination observed in blood."
McDonald's and PepsiCo to help write UK health policy - "In an overhaul of public health, said by campaign groups to be the equivalent of handing smoking policy over to the tobacco industry, health secretary Andrew Lansley has set up five 'responsibility deal' networks with business, co-chaired by ministers, to come up with policies. Some of these are expected to be used in the public health white paper due in the next month."
Every Person Emits Two Tons of Carbon Dioxide a Year Through Eating - "A team of researchers from the Universidad de AlmerÃa (UAL) has estimated the environmental impact of the Spanish diet and role that human excrements play in the life cycle of food."
Daily dose of beet juice promotes brain health - yum!
San Francisco has banned Happy Meals and other junk food/toy combos.
High levels of BPA cause sperm problems - the stuff that's still in many plastics that contain food - can linings, food containers, water bottles, etc.
