FOOD IS AWESOME

FOOD IS REALLY TASTY SO HERE ARE SOME FACTS ON FOOD HOPE SO U ENJOY THEM

Bird’s Saliva Is Actually An Expensive Delicacy

Forget caviar and expensive truffles, bird’s saliva is the food of the well-heeled, at least in China anyway. Bird’s nest soup, is an expensive delicacy made from rare bird’s nests created from the saliva of small swiftlets. The nests, which have been used in Chinese cooking for over four centuries, are dissolved in water to make a soup which is believed to have exquisite flavour and be of benefit to health. These bird nests are considered to be one of the most expensive animal food products consumed by humans.

2Your Food Is Allowed To Contain Trace Of Insects

You could be forgiven for thinking that when you buy your food that it will be bug-free and that the law would ensure that it stays that way. Well, unfortunately not. It seems that some of these elements are allowable (and often unavoidable) in small quantities. In the US, for example, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows for “natural defects” in food products, meaning your food can legally contain traces of stuff that you probably don’t want to be swallowing. The FDA will only begin an investigation into foods once they go over the allowable levels they set. For example, chocolate would only every be investigated once it reaches 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams – anything below this level is considered ok. For peanut butter the level is set lower at 30 insect fragments per 100 grams.

3Fruit & Veg Are Less Nutritious Than They Used To Be

You may well be eating the recommended levels of fruit and vegetables but it’s possible it mightn’t be doing you the same amount of good that it used to do.

Finding published in the journal HortScience suggest that due to modern agricultural practices fruit and vegetables are less nutritious than they were around half a century ago. It was suggested that you would have to eat eight times the amount of oranges now to get the same amount of vitamin A as your grandparents would have years before. To try and max your benefits from eating fruit and veg, consume more of it and where possible eat organic produce.

4Pre-Packaged Salads And Greens May Not Be Clean

When you buy your salad and other fresh green produce pre-packed it will have gone through a washing process, but just how clean is it? A Consumer Reports look at pre-washed salads found that 39 per cent of the 200+ samples tested contained bacteria, the type of which would indicate contamination. Similarly, a study from the University of California, Riverside found that certain leaves – in this case spinach leaves – have numerous nooks and crannies where bacteria can remain despite washing. The best advice is to thoroughly wash all greens regardless of the packaging or otherwise they come out of.

5Chewing Coffee Beans Can Help Eliminate Bad Breath

Been overdoing it on the garlic and needing to rid yourself of the smell on your breath? Those of you who choose to chew on some gum or even some extra strong mints are doing it wrong as the answer apparently lies in the coffee bean. Yes, chewing on the roasted coffee beans can go some way to ridding you of your garlic or onion breath. Other good options to freshen your breath include parsley or mint leaves. If you prefer to drink your coffee rather than chew it then Israeli scientists have found that coffee can inhibit the bacteria that leads to bad breath, but best to drink it black.

6Chocolate Is As Healthy As Fruit

While we were telling you earlier to eat more fruit, perhaps we should also be telling you to eat more chocolate. Research has suggested that chocolate can be just as good for you as fruit. In tests that compared dark chocolate with fruit juices made from from blueberries and pomegranate, dark chocolate was found to be higher in disease-fighting antioxidants. For maximum benefit it is best to choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate, as the the dairy variety contains additional sugar and is much more processed which reduces the health benefits.

7Chocolate Supplies May Run Out

Bad news for those of you wanting to take advantage of the chocolate benefits mentioned above as the popular treat is in real danger of going into shortage. For starters, prices of your favourite chocolate bars have in recent years been on the rise (or the bars have been shrinking in size) due to the growing global demand for cocoa. In addition, the additional demand from emerging mass markets such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia mean there aren’t enough cacao trees to meet demand and the possibility of a supply shortfall could be on the way.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
