Managing Food Safety Practices FROM FARM TO TABLE: Workshop Summary
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesLegal regulations and manufacturers' monitoring practices have not been enough to prevent contamination of the national food supply and protect consumers from serious harm. In addressing food safety risks, regulators could perhaps better ensure the quality and safety of food by monitoring food production not just at a single point in production but all along the way, from farm to table. Recognizing the troubled state of food safety, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Food Forum met in Washington, DC, on September 9, 2008, to explore the management of food safety practices from the beginning of the supply chain to the marketplace.

Mangez moins, vivez plus Votre guide pratique vers la restriction calorique avec nutrition optimale
by Anca IoviţăLors de ma troisième année de médecine, je suis tombée sur un article en ligne traitant de la restriction calorique avec nutrition optimale. Il contenait des informations sur un régime simple capable de prolonger la durée de vie moyenne et maximale de sujets de laboratoire tels que des levures, des mouches drosophiles, des vers et des souris. Lorsque j’ai lu cet article, j’ignorais que de telles expériences étaient menées également sur des primates. Pour être honnête, j’ai vu cette intervention comme une simple anecdote qui pourrait avoir quelques effets sur des organismes simples tels que des moches drosophiles, mais également comme quelque chose qui ne pourrait jamais fonctionner pour des organismes complexes comme nous. Cela paraissait trop beau pour être vrai. Avec le temps, je me suis rendue compte que j’avais tort. Pour satisfaire ma fascination d’enfant sur les limites de l’extension de la vie, j’ai étudié l’ingénierie et la médecine, pour tenter de trouver un moyen d’allonger la durée de vie des êtres humains. Après un court séjour dans le domaine des prothèses neuronales dans un laboratoire allemand, j’ai réalisé que l’implantation d’appareils artificiels dans le corps humain n’était pas une solution pérenne. Je suis retournée chez moi et j’ai entamé mon internat en médecine gériatrique, la branche de la médecine spécialisée dans les maladies liées à l’âge. C’est là qu’un événement cocasse s’est produit. Lire les différentes théories sur le vieillissement est une chose. Mais s’occuper de personnes trois à quatre fois plus âgées que vous en est une autre, et c’est là que j’ai commencé à faire le lien. J’ai remarqué que certaines personnes vieillissaient comme un bon vin, tandis que d’autres connaissaient un vieillissement plus proche de celui du vinaigre. Leurs corps fragiles et leurs histoires de vie détaillées semblaient indiquer
Mangia di meno, vivi di più - guida pratica alla restrizione calorica con nutrizione ottimale
by Anca IoviţăAl terzo anno di medicina mi sono imbattuta in un articolo in Rete che parlava della restrizione delle calorie con nutrizione ottimale. Si parlava di un intervento apparentemente semplice, fatto sul regime alimentare di alcuni organismi e animali da laboratorio che ne aveva prolungato le aspettative di vita media e massima: lieviti, moscerini della frutta, vermi, topi. A quel tempo non sapevo che questo tipo di esperimenti fosse già stato condotto anche su primati non umani. Ad essere sincera, avevo liquidato l’esperimento come una stranezza: poteva anche aver avuto efficacia su organismi semplici come i moscerini della frutta, ma non avrebbe mai funzionato su esseri viventi complessi come noi: troppo bello per essere vero. Il tempo mi ha dato torto. I limiti della vita hanno sempre esercitato un certo fascino su di me, sin da bambina: ho studiato Ingegneria e Medicina, infatti, cercando di scoprire come prolungare radicalmente la durata dell’esistenza. Dopo un breve periodo come ricercatrice sulle protesi neurali in un laboratorio in Germania, mi sono però resa conto che impiantare dispositivi artificiali all’interno del corpo umano non sarebbe potuta essere una soluzione a lungo termine. Tornata a casa mi sono specializzata in Geriatria, cioè in quel ramo della medicina che studia le malattie correlate all’età. È stato allora che è accaduto un fatto curioso: leggere teorie legate all’invecchiamento è una cosa, prendersi cura tutti i giorni di persone che hanno tre o quattro volte la tua età è un’altra. Così, ho semplicemente fatto due più due. Avevo notato che alcune delle persone delle quali mi occupavo quotidianamente erano invecchiate “come un buon vino”, altre come “vino divenuto aceto”. Basandomi sulla loro esile struttura fisica e sui dettagli della loro vita, sembrava proprio che l’assunzione di calorie c’entrasse in qualche modo. È stato così che ho iniziato a scrivere le prime righe di q

Mango & Mint: Arabian, Indian, and North African Inspired Vegan Cuisine (Tofu Hound Press)
by Nicky GarrattNicky Garratt's love of Arabian, Indian, and North African cuisine is obvious in this mouth-watering collection of vegan recipes. Challenging the notion that meals require a centerpiece—historically based around the kill from the hunt or domesticated herd—this recipe collection offers satisfying menus in both buffet style and formal sit-down meals using the vegan philosophy of an intelligent use of the resources available. The full-color photographs offer ideas for presentation, and the book includes sections on planning meals in advance to save money and maximize resources as well as a selection of recipes that utilizes often-discarded items as ingredients—such as watermelon rinds and beet tops in addition to the common problem of easily forgotten leftovers. The flavor of Arabic and North African cuisine is seen in the recipes for Baba Ghannouj, Red Pepper Bulgar, Spinach Pies, Harissa, and Donuts in Syrup, while Indian favorites such as Apple Soup, Peanut Vada, Chana Masala with Green Chili, and Mango Rice also make an appearance. The recipes range from quick and easily created to relatively complex, all of which require only basic equipment and rudimentary skill. The book contains an index for fresh ingredients that enables one to quickly locate a recipe by provisions already found in the refrigerator.

Reyes's Caribbean Kitchen Mystery debut, a savory treat for fans of Joanne Fluke and Jenn McKinlay.Food anthropologist Miriam Quiñones-Smith's move from New York to Coral Shores, Miami, puts her academic career on hold to stay at home with her young son.

Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent
by Naomi Duguid Jeffrey AlfordFor this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.
Manifest animalista: La causa animal com a camí per a un nou humanisme
by Corine PelluchonLa violència contra els animals és un atac directe a la nostra humanitat. Això demostra Corine Pelluchon en aquest breu, pragmàtic, i controvertit assaig que suposa una contribució radical a l'ètica i la filosofia política. Lluitar contra el maltractament animal és rebel·lar-se contra una societat basada en l'explotació, i per això la causa animalista és una qüestió política major que ens concerneix a tots, més enllà d'ideologies o conflictes d'interessos. Amb un estil viu, persuasiu i inspirador, l'autora proposa un camí possible i factible per portar aquest debat a l'esfera política amb tanta claredat i urgència com sigui possible. Ressenyes:«Corine Pelluchon ho explica tot absolutament bé en tot just un centenar de pàgines: per ser una alternativa vàlida, és imprescindible polititzar la causa animal.»Luce Lapin, Charlie Hebdo «L'objectiu principal de l'autora està completament assolit en aquest Manifest animalista: dóna al lector les claus que li permetran ampliar el radi d'acció de l'humanisme als animals.»Philippe Douroux, Libération «Una perspectiva bella i ambiciosa.»Isabelle Gravillon, Femme Majuscule «Un llibre d'intervenció política, tan compromès com lúcid.»Robert Jules, La Tribune «Una de les moltes i grans qualitats d'aquest Manifest animalista és que, en tot moment, el seu projecte està exposat de manera perfectament creïble i realitzable. Precisament per això, l'autora no es fa cap il·lusió sobre la dificultat que suposa introduir la qüestió animal en el debat polític.»Hicham-Stéphane Afeissa, Non Fiction
