No “Pink Slime” for Me!
I’ve been busy organizing, cleaning and packing in preparation for the big move, but I haven’t been completely oblivious to the news… like the recent ABC News report on “pink slime.” According to ABC journalist Jim Avila, “lean, finely textured beef” (aka “pink slime”) is a commonly used filler added to commercial ground beef. The catch is, because it’s “beef,”...
Avery Slims Down

Even one glass of...
“Kellogg Delights Consumers With New Products”
My Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) newsletter showed up in my inbox today. As I scanned the list of headlines, my eye was caught by one stating “Kellogg introduces nearly two dozen products in early 2012.” “Nearly two dozen”? Be still my heart!
