EWG’s Dirty Dozen Guide to Food Additives Wednesday, November 12, 2014 Food should be good for you. But some isn’t. More than 10,000 additives* are allowed in food. Some are direct additives that are deliberately formulated into processed food. Others are indirect additives that get into food during processing, storage and packaging. EWG’s “Dirty Dozen Guide to Food Additives” helps you figure it all out by highlighting some of the worst failures of the regulatory system. Here’s a list of 12 additives that EWG calls the “Dirty Dozen.” * By food additives, we mean substances that are added to food products and their packaging.

Organic Consumers Association Nutrition Unplugged Scheduling and production After you have brainstormed a number of article ideas, designed a chart for your magazine, and plugged some of your ideas into the chart, you need to look at how to get from planning to production. The magazine needs to be ready to send out for printing—by the deadline! There are two stages in this process—article acquisition and production. Article acquisition is the part of the process where you assign and collect articles. It may help to view the production process as a series of stages in which different steps are carried out at each stage. Magazine chart This sample chart is one of a number of systems that may be used. Here is the supposition for the deadlines assigned to the articles: The final deadline (when the magazine goes to your pre-press house) for the January/February issue is November 15. To use the article status chart effectively: Keep it on your computer and update it daily. The production chart (Click here to see a sample in PDF format.) How to use a production chart:

Organic vs. Conventional: The Dirty Dozen I remember when the term “organic” first started becoming a thing – in my world, at least. I would hear it being thrown around here and there, but finding an organic vegetable in my everyday supermarket was basically a joke. To be honest, I wasn’t buying into the whole idea of organic foods. I was still in high school at that time, and to me, choosing whole wheat bread over white bread was the healthiest it was going to get. Fast forward to a few years later, and here I am spreading the word about all things natural to as many people as I can, whenever I possibly can. For me, buying organic is just a given these days, but I realize that not everyone shares the same viewpoint as I do, so today I wanted to shed some light on a list known as the Dirty Dozen. Every year, Environmental Working Group publishes a list of popular conventional (non-organic) foods, rating them from the highest amount of pesticide residues to the lowest.

Wheatgrass Kits.com- Wheatgrass Information, Kits & Wheat Grass Juicers Dining & Wine Scratch Challenge: Days 5 and 6 | Whoops! Got a little behind! But here we are with a couple of days in a row! On Day 5, dinner did not turn out too well. I attempted to make potato cakes like my mom used to make. They completely fell apart, which led to my attempt to turn them into a twice baked potato casserole kind of dish, which was also an epic failure. I was so discouraged (and hungry) that I “cheated” and aided Rosie with her Halloween candy. Onward to Day 6. I purchased a new jar of yeast at the grocery store – and what a difference that made to make baking efforts!!!!! Unfortunately, I forgot to get cheese so my attempt to make pizza was ill-fated. Rosie had another cooking lesson, which, much to her dismay, entailed touching raw chicken. Once I’ve purchased cheese, I’ll post the pizza dough and sauce recipes for your enjoyment – best ever! I made a quick batch of fairly healthy cookies so that we’d have something to snack on for school lunches, etc. Healthier Haystacks Ingredients: Directions: About the author:
