Ramen Data: Mouth to Anus Processed food like ramen noodles and gummy bears are bad for you. Now, for the first time ever, you can see how for yourself. Artist and provacateur Stefani Bardin‘s newest project M2A™:The Fantastic Voyage offers a graphic look at how the gastrointestinal tract (GI) processes a meal of Top Ramen, Gummy Bears and Blue Gatorade versus a meal of hand made noodles, pomegranate/cherry juice gummy bears, and hibiscus gatorade. Bardin worked in collaboration with gastroenterologist Dr. Braden Kuo of Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital to launch the first ever clinical study using the M2A™ Capsule (mouth-to-anus) to record video of the digestion process. They also used a SmartPill wireless gastroenterology device to capture rich time, pressure, and pH data of how the GI tract reacts as each kind of food is digested. The goal of this project?

Live cattle | All exports to Indonesia suspended Live cattle export ban imposed A ship waiting to be loaded with cattle leaves Port Hedland following news of a ban on live cattle exports to Indonesia. P 8, 2011 THE federal government has decided to suspend the export of all live cattle to Indonesia, following a public outcry and a threatened backbench revolt. The Agriculture Minister, Joe Ludwig, signed the order last night and said the ban would stay in place until safeguards had been adopted that would ensure the proper treatment of the beasts along the whole supply chain. The decision to suspend the $318 million-a-year-industry was taken by cabinet on Monday night and has the potential to upset the Indonesians, the cattle industry and the federal opposition, all of which have argued against a blanket ban.

It isn’t dirt from the footy field or escaped ink from his school pen. It’s charcoal from the flat breads he has been grilling to go with the garlicky white bean dip he has just prepared. He is one of the lucky children attending Southmoor Primary School in the southern suburbs of Melbourne, one of 27 Victorian schools that participate in Stephanie Alexander’s Kitchen Garden Program, the aim of which is to provide a pleasurable food education for primary school students. The program takes a holistic approach, teaching kids how to grow, harvest, prepare and share food in a school environment, and has been hugely successful. Tim needs little prompting to tell me just how much he enjoys the program’s gardening and cooking classes.

Proof That Not All Food is QUALITY FOOD! « Cody Witt: Real Deal Compost March 28, 2012 by Cody Witt So here is an interesting bit of information for all people interested in the food you eat. Here is proof that there is a difference between conventional food bought at the local store and food grown sustainably in you own garden or if our conventional food was grown sustainably! We bought some peppers from our local “high quality” store and picked some peppers from our own garden. We left both of these peppers to dry naturally and dehydrate. Here are the pictures to prove something is wrong with conventional agriculture. Store bought peppers vs home grown peppers! The key is looking at the mold growth on the store bought peppers vs the home grown peppers. Molded store bought dried peppers! There is a difference in food quality. This shows us that the ways in which conventional food is grown with an emphasis on chemical fertilizers and mass production is not creating quality food for us to eat. Healthy Peppers grown in healthy soil creates long lasting results!

"If you called it finely textured lean beef, would we be here?" asked Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback. Beef Products, the main producer of the cheap lean beef made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts, has drawn scrutiny over concerns about the ammonium hydroxide it treats meat with to change the beef's acidity and kill bacteria. The politicians who toured the plant — Texas Gov. "Why are we here today defending a company that has a rather sterling record dealing with making a food product that is very much needed in this country in a very safe manner?
