25.01.2022 Growing your own local food - in our backyards, in schools and community gardens, and on small farms - is one of the best things we can do for our own health, that of our community, and for the planet. Make this your year to start your own garden produce. If its over whelming, start small, use pots if no garden space and expand from there. Just make a start. The difference in flavour and nutrients will astound you. #growyourownfood #community #communitymarkets #organiclittlepaddock #foodasmedicine

24.01.2022 Food Investigator's last post for the week. Hope you have found the awareness about what is happening to your food empowering! When you have an awareness and are educated about issues, from this position you can change your habits and perhaps inspire those around you to do the same through modelling behaviour and your new habits. Healthy Ingredients, Really!!!!! Most food products that claim to be made with a healthy ingredient usually contain very little of that product.... In order for huge corporate industrialized food manufacturers to put made with on their labels, all they have to do is add a little. The FDA does not regulate or require a certain amount of sugar and spice and everything nice for a product to claim to contain the healthy ingredients we desire. So, for instance, a food producer could make bread that is 95% white flour, throw in 5% whole grain flour, and then proclaim on the package label, Made with Whole Grains. Moreover, bread that is Multigrain tells you nothing, and likely includes mostly refined grains. Again, they are targeting people who have a desire to do the right thing in order to continue to reach in their pockets and take their money. Moral issues are not their dilemma The food industry is only concerned about making a profit, not making sure that you eat in a way that adds nutritional value to your diet. A health conscious person may not want to eat a product that is 95% corn starch and sugar for breakfast, so will pass on the Pop Tarts and choose the healthy brand instead, made with real fruit without realizing that the pastry is only 5% real fruit. Have a fabulous weekend.

14.01.2022 ADDING MORE WHOLE FOODS INTO YOUR DIET: Although we all know that we should eat more whole foods, it can be all too tempting to fall back on the junk food and processed food that we find in restaurants and stores everywhere. Junk food is an ever-present feature of daily life in the world today. The presence of McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC in malls up and down the country is simply encouraging more of us to snack on junk from an early age. More people today are eating proce...Continue reading

14.01.2022 OMG my heart melts. We have baby ducklings

14.01.2022 It was obvious during the conversations I held with good friends this weekend that the Food Industry has done well in covering up the truth about cheap, addictive, insidious ingredients that lurk within their foods that are detrimental to your health. This week, I become the Food Cop, uncovering some of these ingredients and insights to make you, the public more aware and empowered~ enabling you through educated awareness to vote with your money by choosing an appropriate pro...duct that is more conducive to you and your family's health. MSG Natural and organic foods can contain hidden MSG. MSG is a poison that contaminates our mass food supply. Its effect is cumulative, and the excito-toxin can be fatal once a person reaches the threshold that their nerves can handle. So, like most health-conscious people who want to be healthy, when circumstances force you to shop at the supermarket, you likely reach first for the natural and organic food, thinking these do not contain MSG. Unfortunately, they do, but it’s hidden. When you read package labels for ingredients, it’s important to be aware that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows corporate producers to call MSG by more than 40 different names. You may skim over an ingredient without realizing that it is just another name for MSG. If you are buying healthier, organic French fries, you may find MSG called Autolyzed yeast extract in the list of ingredients. Other names include maltodextrin, sodium caseinate, hydrolized soy protein.... I could go on. The reason the FDA does not require producers to label products containing MSG with MSG is because it is often considered to be a constituent of an ingredient and not an ingredient itself. The distinction is between poured and processed. MSG that is processed into a product need not be identified on the label only the actual ingredient that was added before processing. Say, for example, that a food manufacturer adds a pre-made spice blend to their food. The spice blend contains MSG. The food manufacturer can still claim no MSG was added to the food because they didn’t add an ingredient called MSG, they added an ingredient called spices. A label may therefore similarly boast No MSG Added even if it is processed into the product. MSG is in other words not added as an ingredient to the product, but is a constituent that is either included as an ingredient of the ingredients listed, or released through processing, such as in hydrolization or fermentation. Major brands that want cheap production and target a health-conscious market take advantage of this, and will sell you more MSG hidden in the ingredients even when you are trying to avoid it.

13.01.2022 Food Investigations DAY 2 This time I am looking at Juicesand why 100% Juice Doesn’t Mean 100% Juice. If you want to buy fresh, healthy orange juice, you of course don’t buy the concentrate or juice made from the concentrate. Instead, you go for the all natural label, 100% orange juice that’s stored fresh in the refrigerator section. The juice you get from these cartons are as pure as juice that you squeeze from your own peeled organic oranges at home, right?... Think again. Consider what happens when you make orange juice at home. If you have never done this, or only rarely, you may want to know that every time you make orange juice it is likely that it is going to taste somewhat different. But it is going to taste fabulous, usually. One of the thrills of squeezing your own oranges is the all-natural taste of the oranges themselves. But if you buy various brands of orange juice, you are going to find that each one has its own particular flavor every time you buy it, just like Coke and Pepsi have their own trademark taste. Why is this the case? The answer has to do with scale and the way that orange juice is stored and marketed. In order to make enough orange juice to satisfy distributors and vendors, corporate producers store it in large tanks that have been deoxygenated. This allows the juice to remain stable over a long period of time (up to a year). EWWWWWWW!!! However, due to storage, the orange juice loses its entire flavor, which means no one would want to drink it. This is advantageous to corporate entities and marketers because now they can use unique flavors for branding. Each company therefore adds flavor packs to the orange juice before it is distributed. That’s why your favourite juice always tastes the same When the orange juice is stripped of its flavor and chemicals are added in order to give it flavor, it is no longer 100% juice. Flavor has been added to something that naturally should already have its own flavor. And what’s more, flavor packs do not need to be listed in the ingredients. The content of the flavor packs are derived from by-products of industrially processing the oranges, and chemically altered. So technically nothing is added, but things have dramatically changed from the original product.. But because of this the label can still say 100% Orange Juice! No additives! There is something fundamentally abnormal and disturbing about taking a food, changing its substance so that it is flavorless, using byproducts of the process to create flavor packs to target specific audiences, and then adding the altered by-products back to the product. It’s reminiscent of Frankenstein in the kitchen. The good news is that commercial orange juice need not be a staple of anyone’s diet. And, you can squeeze your own fresh juice and make it healthier as well. Remember ~ Awareness is empowering so you can make choices that are more conducive to your optimal health.
