As she had anticipated, when the small groups reported back it was obvious that most students had very little idea of the range of activities undertaken by New Zealand’s food technologists, or their importance to our economy. The teacher then showed them a YouTube clip in which Kelsie, a secondary school student, visits a Sealord fish processing factory and sees at first hand the many different roles for food technologists in just that one industry. The teacher wanted her new class to be aware that food technology entails specific types of real jobs in real work places and that it is “such a big thing” in terms of its importance to New Zealand’s economy.

Kellogg sued over ‘made with real fruit’ claims on Super Mario snacks

In a class action filed in a federal court in California last week, plaintiff Alicia Spevak claims that the Super Mario snacks - which contain apple puree concentrate as the third entry on the ingredients list behind corn syrup and sugar - are “full of sugar” and “unhealthy, unnatural ingredients, chemicals and preservative additives”. Reasonable consumers would "interpret ‘made with real fruit’ to mean that it contains whole fruit and not merely de minimis real fruit” alleges Spevak, who seeks to represent everyone that has bought Super Mario snacks in California since April 2009.

Australian cuisine

Indigenous Australians have occupied the lands of Australia for some 40,000–60,000 years, during which time they developed a unique hunter gatherer diet, known as "bush tucker", drawn from regional Australian flora and fauna—such as the kangaroo. Australia was, from 1788 to 1900, a collection of British colonies in which culinary tastes were strongly influenced by British and Irish traditions - and agricultural products such as beef cattle, sheep and wheat became staples in the national diet.

Post-war Australia's multicultural immigration program lead to a diversification of the cuisine of Australia, particularly under the influence of Mediterranean and East Asian migrants.[1] Australian cuisine of the first decade of the 21st century shows the influence of globalisation.

Why restaurant owners need to put technology on their menus

Because the recession caused 8 out of 10 consumers to cut back on nonessential spending, it is more important than ever for operators to nudge those guests into spending their discretionary dollars at their restaurants. Setting a place for technology may be one way savvy restaurateurs can lure patrons back to the table. Consumers have developed a taste for incorporating technology in all parts of their lives, both at work and at play. And, increasingly, that includes where they eat. Although high-tech items such as wireless payment and iPad menus aren’t commonplace just yet, there is strong consumer interest in such options.
