Marion Nestle at U of T’s Hart House

Big thanks to Jen who mentioned “Food Politics: Personal Responsibility vs. Social Responsibility – A Lecture by Marion Nestle”

is taking place at U of T’s Hart House today.  It begins at 7 pm and tickets are only $10 (students are free). I wish I could be there but I have class.  If you go, please let me know your thoughts and I will post them on Thursday. 

For some interesting reading on Sugar, click  here and look for the heading “ The Threatened Lawsuit from the Sugar Association of America.  In 2002, Ms. Nestle received a letter from the Sugar Association, Inc., (SAI), accusing her of making false and defamatory comments about sugar. She responds with a stellar letter of her own and makes short work of the SAI’s claims and the threatened lawsuit.

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
