It was an optimistic prediction in the roaring 1950s – along with flying cars and a cure for cancer – that we’d all be eating food in pill form by the millennium. We didn’t get boundless free energy or a 4-day work week, either. But researchers now say they’re closer than ever to packaging exercise in a pill…

You’ve heard of Veganism and Vegetarianism, in all its shades and hues. And I assume that anyone reading this post also knows what omnivores and carnivores are. Most of us are – by choice or cultural tradition – somewhere on the meat / no-meat continuum. But now there’s a new identity you can aspire to…

Not long ago, I came across a post from a learned institution that talked about how average folks are more circumspect about their shopping and dining choices when they are out with others. But it seems guilt over what witnesses might see is just part of the story…

We’ve been hearing for a few years, now, from innovative manufacturers and folks who package food, that new, sustainable packaging, with zero or near-zero impact on the environment, is just around the corner. Yet, there’s been no major shift away from demon plastic…

Summer time, and the livin’ is thirsty. At least, that’s what the Fast Food and fizzy bev purveyors say. Most of our new and returning product flags this week have to do with quenchers. But there are some solid-food menu item announcements and a couple of new snacks…

  • Culinary Archeology: Ancient Foods We Still Love Today June 30, 2022
    Yes, culinary archeology is a real academic discipline, defined as, "research on cooking and cuisine that reveals social, political, religious, and economic practices in the past, and has a unique ability to engage the present with the past through public outreach and solutions to food-related problems." The post Culinary Archeology: Ancient Foods We Still Love […]
  • Baked Oatmeal: Finally, A Truly Healthy ‘Energy Bar’? June 29, 2022
    I've been sitting on this one for a while. But... I've often remarked how fundamentally unhealthy traditional 'energy' bars are. Lots of healthy grains, yes. But glued together with sugar and corn syrup. Loads of carbs and calories for the athletic minority. But unbalanced overload for the rest of us... The post Baked Oatmeal: Finally, […]
  • Sattu: India’s Next Big Street Food ‘Thing’ Emerges June 28, 2022
    Word is spreading fast. On the internet they would say it's gone viral. In the product world they call it a 'breakout'. It's what Indian food experts are calling their new darling. But the truth is, it's something as old as Indian cuisine itself dressed up in bright new colours and flavours... The post Sattu: […]
  • Street Food Discoveries: A Uniquely Canadian Treat! June 27, 2022
    We've mentioned it in passing several times, but there's a quintessentially Canadian street food treat that I've decided really deserves a solo spotlight. What's better, it was made famous in my home town, Ottawa, and is now known and loved around the world. Kinda makes a person proud... The post Street Food Discoveries: A Uniquely […]
