Lunches go organic in some schools

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- The buffet offers a variety of pizzas, with whole wheat crust, organic toppings and hormone-free cheese. The salad bar includes some greens and vegetables grown without pesticides in a nearby garden.

And the chef even takes special requests from vegetarians, those wanting gluten-free food or even an extra slice of free-range meat.

This isn't a restaurant in one of Kansas City's trendy neighborhoods, but a cramped room in the basement of the Kansas City Academy, a private school for 6th-12th graders in the city's Waldo district.

The Academy is one of three Kansas City-area private schools that participate in Bistro Kids' Farm 2 School program, which is committed to improving students' health by offering lunches from organic, natural, locally-grown food.

FDA: Melamine Found In Baby Formula In China

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:27:19 GMT

clipper's remarks: Reports in the Chinese news media say that as many as 60 babies have been admitted to hospitals with kidney stones and that the illnesses have been linked to powdered formula.

In March 2007, the discovery that pet food was causing kidney disease and death in dogs and cats across North America led to the largest pet food recall in U.S. history. Melamine and a related chemical, cyanuric acid, had been added to grain products in China to fraudulently increase their apparent protein content, making them appear to be gluten. The products were sold as gluten to U.S. and Canadian pet food manufacturers.

Chinese newspapers report that some infant formula has been linked to kidney problems and kidney stones in babies in China because the formula contains melamine — the same industrial contaminant from China that poisoned and killed thousands of U.S. dogs and cats last year.

The Food and Drug Administration is alerting Asian and ethnic markets across the USA that infant formula made in China may be contaminated.

The FDA is working with state health agencies across the country to make members of Chinese-American communities aware of the danger.

No baby formula approved for use in the USA is manufactured in China, the FDA says.

In addition, no U.S. manufacturers or marketers of infant formula receive ingredients from China. "We contacted all of them," Oliver says.

The FDA is concerned that illegal infant formula may be sold in Asian and ethnic markets. It happened in 2004, when fake formula from China, which killed dozens of babies there, was found in at least one U.S. store.

Finding restaurants, and even what to order in restaurants, may be the Internet’s finest hour, beating out guidebooks — even food-oriented guidebooks. Nytimes.com, nymag.com, citysearch.com and yelp.com all search by neighborhood and other categories.

Chowhound’s Manhattan board may be the most useful site (use the “search this board” function); there’s almost nothing it doesn’t have a suggestion for. Mexican near Times Square? (Toloache.) Gluten free in the East Village? (Caracas Arepa Bar.)

Researchers study diet and autism

Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have embarked on one of the first double-blind, clinical studies to determine whether gluten and dairy products play a role in autistic behavior as parents have anecdotally claimed.

The pilot study is one of seven current studies on autism in the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.

"There's a lot of misinformation, so that's why this study is so important," said Fernando Navarro, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at the medical school and lead investigator of the study. "Hundreds and hundreds of parents think this works but we need serious evidence."

A lot of children with autism have gastrointestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. Whether these problems are related to brain development is open to question,

Slick-A** Pet Food Labeling

A Trip Down the Pet Food Aisle Reveals Harmful Food Additives

The number one interesting marketing technique (and I have changed the exact words to protect the identity of this pet food) -- Blazoned across one pet food was Crunchy Beefy Nuggets™. Did you catch it? Crunchy Beefy Nuggets is a trademark name –- it's a name! It has nothing to do with the pet food, it doesn't necessarily contain any beef, and it is literally just a name. Very slick –- not healthy pet food, but slick pet food marketing.

The most common sales technique I found was pet foods that are 'flavored'

Most pet owners just assume that since the front of the pet food bag –- in big bold letters says Albacore Tuna on it –- it's got Albacore Tuna inside the bag

If the food actually had

it wouldn't say 'Flavor'

It would say 'with

One pet food proudly stated 'No Fillers' on the front of the bag, yet in the small print of the ingredient list -- Ground Corn, Chicken by-products, Corn Gluten Meal were the first three ingredients
