Comment on New China CIQ Food Label Requirements by Robbi Fernandez

I have client who is importing food processed in the US in to China. If we have a health certificate with a number of products listed on it, and one or two of those products does not end up on the shipment, can we still use this certificate to clear the rest of the products on the shipment?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Robbi

Comment on Hold the Sashimi, Please… by Betty Johnson

Since I usually feel extremely guilty about using too much paper and too much gas, I was very happy to read your recent blog concerning the carbon footprint of toro sashimi. I am not a sashimi fan so it is good to know that at least in some way I am helping with my carbon footprint. I suppose everyone helps in some small way whether they realize it or not!

Comment on Why Organic Vegetables Are Bad by Kevin Sund

Easy choice!…when at Whole Foods Markets purchase the “Columbia River Organics” brand fruits and veggies. They are 100% organic and 100% domestic (USA) product. You will pay slightly more than the 365 brand, but you can have the confidence of knowing that you are supporting an American farm-family owned company who offers safe and healthy products, all while supporting the American workforce. This is important in a time with a 10% unemployment rate. Plus, the Bybee Foods “C.R.O.” brand is marketed by a strapping young salesman who wouldn’t lead you astray…so that’s got to account for something:)

Comment on Obesity, Is It In The Plate Size? by Martin Fierro

Martin Fierro — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:25:06 +0000

I believe that this issue shouldn’t be centered on the quantity of food people ingest but on the quality and, equally important, their life-routine and age-related metabolism changes.

For instance, it is absolutely normal in other cultures to eat until the plate is “clean” (and even have a second plate) but, the kind of food, the size of the portion and what that person would do the rest of the day (assuming this was lunch) it is likely to be different from what would be here in US.

So, from my personal perspective, the plate size along is not the cause of obesity.
Further, if we considerer that eating “More Food Than Necessary + Eating Plate Clean = Eating More Calories Than Needed”, it can be inferred, then, that knowing your daily calorie consumption would significantly help you to decide which foods you should be eating and/or how much calories you need to burn in order to maintain certain eating habits.

As you’ve rightly pointed out (and leaving genetic and medical problems aside), if is not burned it will be accumulated!!!

Goat milk is good for children age of 10-16 for getting good resistance power in the body .Cow milk is good for energy but consumption should be two glasses per day for adults.
