I've been on social media for quite a long time, maybe because I've been sending out nutrition information.
I've always believed consumers have a right to know what's in their food.
If you want to know if your food contains gluten, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats or MSG, you simply read the ingredients listed on the label.
People have a right to know what is in the food they are eating, and that the food is safe.
Get your nutritional information from registered dieticians, not miracle healers. You'll be happier, and it's less expensive.
Each of us should take personal responsibility for our diet, and our children's diet, and the government's role should be to make certain it provides the best information possible to help people stay healthy.
I like to know what's in my food and in my drinks. It's really important for me.
There are so many things that come into writing a recipe, and it's really important if you're writing for home cooks to be cooking like you are at home.
Mothers need to know what they are feeding their children. They need the freedom to make educated choices at the market.
The sheer novelty and glamor of the Western diet, with its seventeen thousand new food products every year and the marketing power - thirty-two billion dollars a year - used to sell us those products, has overwhelmed the force of tradition and left us where we now find ourselves: relying on science and journalism and government and marketing to help us decide what to eat.
If you have formed the habit of checking on every new diet that comes along, you will find that, mercifully, they all blur together, leaving you with only one definite piece of information: french-fried potatoes are out.
Nutritionists have known for some time now that in order to get people to change what they eat, we need to provide them with more access to affordable, healthy food as well as information on how to cook and prepare it.
