Food Blogger Urges Subway to Remove Chemical From Bread Subway says it's in the process of removing a chemical from its bread as part of an ongoing effort to improve its recipes. The announcement comes after a popular food blogger launched a petition this week asking the sandwich chain to stop using the ingredient, called azodicarbonamide. A representative for Subway says the change was underway before the petition was launched. "The complete conversion to have this product out of the bread will be done soon," Subway said in a statement, without providing further details. Vani Hari, who runs FoodBabe.com, has targeted other food companies including Kraft and Chick-fil-A for the chemicals in their products. In the latest petition targeting Subway, Hari noted that the azodicarbonamide used in its bread is also used to make yoga mats and shoe rubber. On Tuesday, Subway's Facebook page was filled with comments regarding the chemical. Although the ingredient is...

The following article was published by Associated Press. Food labels, in my view, haven’t been telling the public the real story. Manufactures haven’t been realistic about portion size and have too much leeway when listing the amount of fat, salt and carbs. The FDA wants to make changes in the labeling and I think it’s about time. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency is working toward publishing proposed rules to update nutrition labels and serving size information. The agency says its aim is "to improve consumer understanding and use of nutrition information on food labels," according to the FDA. Nutrition labeling was introduced more than 20 years ago, and the FDA says the science and recommendations behind food labeling has changed since 1992. "For example, the initial nutritional facts label focused on fat in the diet. There is now a shift to focus on calories to help consumers construct healthy diets," according to an FDA em...

For some, it takes a major event to trigger emotional eating — getting fired or going through a divorce; for others, it’s a constant struggle: the traffic on the way to work; the jammed photo copier; a tough day at the office … the daily grind can lead to a seemingly unbreakable habit of turning to food to make it all better. Emotional eating can sabotage your weight management efforts. Getting a handle on your tendency to eat in response to emotions can be one of the most important factors in achieving long-term weight loss success. Sometimes, the desire to eat has nothing to do with a rumbling in your stomach telling you that you need to eat. We get a strong longing for foods — particularly fattening, comforting foods — when emotions spike or plummet. We want to eat and we think nothing else will do. Personally for me eating was more about rewarding myself. Then later it became a way to satisfy a craving. I think the more you indulge yourself the more cravings you’ll have. So ...

I bring that up because eating those home cooked meals everyday and having dinner together every night was the best part of living at home. My grandparents lived with us and my grandmother did most of the cooking. What I remember is we ate meals together and we ate what was on the menu that day. What ever my grandmother made that day. This was in the 50's and early 60's which probably seems like a century ago to most people, but in fact most seniors grew up the same way. I lived in a suburb of Chicago called Elmwood Park, for those who haven't heard of it, we were next to Oak Park, Opra has a house in Elmwood Park among others. We had a grocery store close by with a meat market. The bakery was one block down. Fruits and vegetables were fresh everyday from nearby farms, nothing was packaged and they delivered your groceries if you asked. Most people didn't drive to the store. There were some restaurants in the neighborhood but not the number that you see today. We ate ...
